THE MICHIGAN FIRES.
Death List Now Numbers Al, With
Other Places to Be Heard From.

Bay City, Mich. oct ia dispatc!
to the Pay City Tribune from a staii
correspondent ut AlpCna says
The verified known death list result
ing from the forest fires in Pressure
Isle and .alpena counties stands to-
night at Al. with several people still
reported missing and a growing prcba
biiity of severe loss Of life in northern
Pula wski and Krakow townships in
Pressure Isle county, the first indication
of which came yesterday with the re-
porting of six bodies in PulaW ski. in
GLIDING those of Mrs. Herman Erke and
children.
At least 60 families We're living near
TIE shore of Lake Huron in tn" north
ern half of Pulawski and Krakow
township and practically nothing has
been heard from them since the fire. 1t
is said that the flames swept all
through this district to the water s
edge and it IS feared more bodies will
be found.
At Grand Lake a farmer and foui
children are known to have taken ref
nee in a boat and nothing had been
heard from them since. A dozen school
children sent home by teachers have
not been heard from.
Some apprehension is felt for Grace
fIarbor. which is located on the shore
of Lake Huron northwest of here. Nc
word had been received from there
since the fires. Along the eight miles
of road from PoSen to HagenSVille. 2S
farmers were wiped out. The total
number of houses DESTROYED in Presque
Isle. Alpena and Montmorency roun-
ties is over 300.
Pathetic scenes marked the arrival
of a carload of clothing and provisions
at Metz today. Ragged women and
children crushed eagerly about the car
door. awaiting with outstretched arms
whatever contribution might be their
portion. At the lowest estimate there
are 1900 people homeless and there is
not even an adequate supply of wa
ter. All the pumps have been burned
and the streams and bitches are dry.
The Detroit &, Mackinack Railroad
co. today ordered $50 pumps sent t.
the IRE district. The relief fund at A
pena has reached $4,000 and is growing
rapidly. Seven carloads Of provisions
clothing and lumber donated IN Aipr-
ma will be sent into Pressure Isle coun-
tv tomorrow.
