no human hand could stay. The flames

Escanaba. Throughout the territory
hundreds of woodmen were put to work

diverting its path were some of the

steaders, farmers and residents of the
towns fled from the path of the flames.

was put up, but in the end the places

but even where it was plentiful it was
no avail in combating the flames. While
this scene of horror and despair was be-
ing enacted in the fire stricken territory
there was also panic in the neighbor-

Refugees Return to Homes.
Most of the refugees were taken back
today when it was supposed the fires
had died down. but most found nothing
when they reached the spot where their
home had stood. This morning the wind

are not spreading it would only need q
fresh wind to start them again in all

ROME, May l9,-Although the condi-

to bed today by his physicians, is not
grave, some apprehension is felt at the
frequency of his gout attacks through
exposure to cold, and his disordered di.
gestion and fatigue.
The present attack seems to have
had its original of trouble by the Pope
walking to st. Peters last Sunday for
the beatifcation of Julie Billiart. Re-
turning to his apartment from st.
Peters his holiness was quite warm and
passing through the thickly walled vati.
can courtyards where the atmosphere is
damp, he refused to put on his coat.
When the first symptoms of trouble oc-
CURED he refused to rest and to take
proper care of himself and insisted on
giving long and fatiguing audiences to
all the dignitaries of the dominican or
der. Gout which had previously only
attacked his foot now has reached the
left knee, which is considerably swollen
and is giving him acute pain. Consider
able inflammation is present The tenn
perture of his holiness today was 80.
