Detroit. Mich. Oct 1s.-A Detroit News special from Millersburg. Mich, says
 The charred remains of Mrs. Her man Erke. her three children and two hired men, John Samp and Leo Bursh. were brought to Rogers City today from Prentice Landing, situated about twelve miles east along the shore from Rogers City.
 The six victims were surrounded and burned to death by forest fires. Herman Erke and his eldest daughter were saved by being absent from the camp at the time of the fire. The dead children ranged in age from two to twelve years. The six victims were buried this afternoon.
 Mathew Donawsky. 12-year-old boy who came here today from Posen, said he believed his sister. Mrs. Woj- task and her seven children, who lived five miles south of Posen, were cremated in heir home. Neither he nor his people could get to the farm house in which the family was living.
 Reports tonight from the flame swept counties in this section of the state indicate improvement in the fire situation. But the necessity for im- mediate substantial relief for the

SHOT AT A PRIEST
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT MADE TO
 ASsAsSINATE.
Stranger, Either . Greek or An Italian Tried to Kill Father Field ing in a Chicago
 Church.

Chicago. Oct. 1S.-An attempt to assa ssinate Rev. J. K. Fielding, pas tor of the Corpus Christi Roman Cath ollie Church. was made this afternoon. After twice shooting at the priest in the Sunday school hallway of the church, the assassin, knocking down several children that stood in his way. ran into the street and escaped. The priest was not hurt. The shooting and the screams of the children creat-' ed wild excitement in one of Chicagos fashionable residence quarters. The culprit first attracted attention by loitering about the church and writ ing on a sheet of paper which he held against the building. Made curious by the mans peculiar actions, Father Fielding asked him:
 What are you doing hereg
 'T'm praying" replied the stranger
 As the priest turned his back the stranger drew a revolver and pressed it against his intended victim. Fa- ther Fielding immediately knocked the weapon away. just in time to es- cape a bullet which grazed his head and clipped a lock of hair from his temple. The priest then knocked the culprit down. Kurriedly scrambling to his feet the man continued down the hallway, pushing and trampling over many children. At the bottom of the stairway he turned and fired anoth CT intellectual shot at the priest and then. still brandishing the revol- yer ran down the street. Children and citizens. accompanieds by Father Fielding, pursued the man but he es- capped.
 The man is described as being eith- CT Greek or Italian. Corpus Christi church is at 18th street and Grand Boulevard. and includes in It's mem hership some of the wealthiest Roman Cath ollcs in the city.
 Information was obtained by the police led tonight that led them to believe that the assailant was the same man who for several days has near Corpus Christi church. Under the Holy Angels and about St, Xavier academy. both of which are situated been loftering about the church of the conviction that one or more men had entered into conspiracy to kill father Fielding and other priests, the police have placed extra watch over these places with instructions to question all suspicious persons.

SANTA FE ROAD HAS
 A FIRE LOSS OF S2OO, 900

Amarillo, Tex, Oct. 1s.-Ffre dis covered shortly after o'clock this morning. destroyed the round house and shops of the Santa Fe Railroad in this city. entailing loss of approx imately $2O0.O00, partially covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown further than that the flames started in the southwest end of the round house and spread rapidly un- der swift south wind though the machine shops. Twelve engines were burned in addition to several cars, the coal chute, water tank, Jumping station. oil tanks and sundry supplies. The shops and round house were locat- ed beyond the fire limits and this, coupled with the fact that the fire had made great progress before the alarm was turned in, greatly handicapped the volunteer department. Vastg quan- titles of coal were in the chute and yards and caught fire along with the structures. The property is almost a total loss.

One of our western contemporaries
says:
You bet your sweet life the In
terstate Polo league will be revived
again next winter, and it won't be
run by a bunch of pikers, either.
We're going to have polo, and polo
of the fastest kind"
Ralph Read, who was interested
with Jack Morrissey in the Canton
polo franchise and who backed
Frank Wilson at Manchester in the
Ohio State league, dropping off in
Akron Tuesday night en- route from
Canton TO New Castle long enough
TO make them stick to the limit" he
said. and well run the organiza-
ton in a businesslike manner
Fred Jean. Soxie Lyons, Eddie
Higgins, Bobby Hart, Ted Lewis. Bill
Bannon and all of the crack players
are interested in Reads efforts, and
he is in correspondence with many
OF them. He says they are all will
ing and anxious to play in the Inter
state next winter IL the league is
re-organized. which seems almost
certain, il is likely that Fred Jean
will be engaged to manage the Ak
ron team. Read believes the plac-
ing Of the Frenchmsn at the head
of crack team here would be the
one touch necessary TO revive the
interest of local fans.
