MUCH EXAGGERATED
TOTAL LOSS IN MICHIGAN AND
WISCONSIN FOREST FIRES
( ABOUT $2co,oOo.

Marinette. Wis. May 21.--All dan.
ger from forest fires Is past. It is
raining and the wind has died out.
The loss everywhere Is believed to
have been greatly exaggerated.
The A. Stephenson company at
Wells, Mich. was the heaviest loser
and It's losses will not be more than
$4,000. Most Of the buildings de-
stroyed were Of frame construction.
The saw mills destroyed were all
small ones. worth not more than from
$4,000 to $4,000 The total loss III
the burned area will not be more than
100000. The number of settlers
burned out has also been greatly ex.
Rggerated. Some papers have placed
1t as high as 1000. Considering the
way in which the northern country is
settled 1t Is certain that not 500 have
been burned out and II is probable
that the actual number who lost their
homes is not more than 200 and 1t
may not reach that amount.
The most damage is at Quinnesec,
Mich, large town which was de-
stroyed, but the fire there was not due
20 forest fire but to bonfire in the
rear of livery stable There are no
woods around Quinnesec.
