WESTERN FOREST FIRES.
Summary of the Devastation Thus
Far Resulting From the Far
Western Forest Fires.
DAMAGE WILL AGGREGATE MILLIONS.
There Has Been Some Loss of HUI
man Life, But How Serious 1t Is
Impossible Yet to Determine
Only a General Rain Can Stay the
la es' Progress.

Kalama, Wash, Sept. 15.-News
reached here Sunday night that the
forest fires on Lewis river have
wrought sad havoc. ID. L. Wallace,
wife and two children were burned to
death. They were camping in the
woods when caught by the fire. Their
wagon was found burned up, the
charred bodies lying near. A 12-year-
old boy of Mr.. Hanley's is also dead.
John Polly and baby and a brother,
name unknown, and Mr.. Newhouse
and Mrs. Graves are dead. Fifteen
others were found without clothing,
excepting gunny sacks. Five logging
camps are burned out completely. The
following families have lost every
thing: Eliza Street, o. s. Caurtis, l..
NJ. Chitty, Thomas Matthews, r. Will
kerson, H. Z. Dartland, DR.. Ellis and
others. The worst of the fire is on
Lewis river, about twelve miles above
Woodland, The country is well set
tied and there are doubtless other
casualties not yet reported.
Fine Timber Destroyed.
The fire has spread from Lewis riv-
err north to the Kalama river, and so
sections of the finest timber on the
coast are destroyed. 1t is impossible
to give any estimate of the amount of
damage one to property. Oak Point,
20 miles below here on the Columbia
river, is totally destroyed. There are
no reports of lives lost, but loss to
property is estimated at about $780,
900.
A great fire is also raging on the
Coweman, in the northern part of the
county. Everything combustible in its
path was consumed. The air is thick
with smoke and falling ashes. Hills
camp is reported destroyed; Muckley
Brothers No. 2 camp is also burned
out; Moreland's camp is badly dam
aged. Seven donkey engines are
ruined. Two men from Barr's camp
are reported missing. People are
panic stricken and many are almost
crazed with grief over loss of prop
erty.
The Whole Country in Gloom.
Cowlitz county thought it was go
ing to escape until Sunday, when re-
ports came thick and fast, each worse
than the last. Five people are dead
and two missing, with only partial re-
ports from the burned district. The
horrible news has EAST a gloom over
the entire country that can hardly be
described. A courier just arrived
from Lewis river states that there are
only two houses left standing ON
Lewis river from Traits place to the
head of the river, a distance of 30
miles, and that not less than fifteen
persons have persisted.

~GLEANINGS.
Battle win out1aw..

The long search for Jim Wright
and John Templeton, leaders Of the
Wright band of mountain outlaws
that have %terrorized the border coun-
ties of southwest Virginia and east
Tennessee for years, came to an end
when both Wright and Templeton
were slain by a posse of nine men,
headed by Deputy Sheriff William
Barter. The two outlaws, together
with a son of Jim Wright, were To-
Gated and surrounded at Piney
Grove, Hawkins county, Tenn. Wright,
the head of the gang, escaped. A
hot battle ensued between the posse
on one side and Templeton and
Wright's son on the other. A number
Of shots were exchanged, when Tenn
pleton fell dying, a bullet having
penetrated his brain. Young Wright
then surrendered, after having shot
George Wolfe, a member of the posse,
under the arm. The posse kept on the
alert, and located Jim Wright, when
a fierce fight was waged. Wright
shot and wounded Jack Robinson of
the posse in the ARM, and then fell
dying as the result of a volley of
shots aimed at him. The bodies of the
two d~esperadoes were taken to Gate
City, Va, in a wagon, where hun
dreds of people had assembled to view
the remains and to commend the
posse for it's effective work. The
families of the dead outlaws were no.
titled of the affair, that they might
take charge of the bodies. Jim
Wright had a chapter of crimes to his
credit. He had killed several men, it
is claimed, and was serving a life sem

BABE FAREWELL TO EMPEROR.
Emperor william of Germany ana the
American Generals Exchange Fare
wells In Cordial Fashion.

berlln, sept. l3.-EmpeTor william,
in saying good-by to Generals Corbin,
Young and Wood, Friday, remarked
that he was specially interested in
three Americans. He admired Pres
ident Roosevelt unmeasuredly. He
admired his versatility, courage, pow
er for hard work and insight into the
needs of his country. His majesty
added hat he watched Mayor Seth
Lows administration of New York,
because he thought it important 20
the commercial world that New York
city should be well governed. The
emperor also said he was very sorry
Andrew D. White, the United States
ambassador, was leaving his court. He
had the most cordial feeling for him
personally because Of the man he is
and for his services in fostering coed
will between Germany and the Unit
ed States.
Gen. Corbin had an opportunity to
present President Roosevelt's message
about the st. Louis exposition, and
Emperor William said that he would
see that Germany had a good repre-
sentation. 81 will send you a large
party" he added pleasantly.
His majesty sent some personal
messages to President Roosevelt
through Gen. Corbin, and asked to be
remembered especially to Miss
Alice" as he called Miss Roosevelt.
Emperor Enjoyed the Visit.
The emperor ~conversed with each
of the Americans and told them how
much he had enjoyed their visit. The
farewell took place IN the field just
after Emperor William returned
from leading the cavalry charge which
concluded the maneuvers His maj
esty had bivouacked again with the
cavalry, and he had ridden with them
80 miles Friday in a wide detour, from
a position in front of the right flank
of the reds" (Russians) to their rear
division. Nearly ten thousand horse
men left the camp at 1850 o'clock and
the recall was sounded at 1905 a. m.
Gen. Corbin, who rode down the line
Immediately afterward, said he did
not see a horse which was "blown
out" He considered it to be a mag
nificent performance, and did not be-
lieve any cavalry in the world could
surpass it.
German Soldiers Love the Army.
Gen. Corbin and Earl Roberts both
said, in summing up their impressions
of the maneuvers, that the German
army is the most wonderful in the
world.
There may possibly be a difference
among military men," Gen. Corbin
said, "as to certain details, but the
army altogether is matchless."
What pleased the American general
as much as anything was the spirit
of the ~troops-the love of the private
for the army. The Americans had a
notion that the rank and file had to
be dragooned into the service; but
instead of that being SO, they liked to
serve and admired the army beyond
any other institution in the country.
The German soldiers owe for the
army was in itself a tremendous
force.
