Probable Unrecorded Deaths.
II Is regarded as more than probable
that many other inhabitants OF Metz
died In the forlorn attempt to fight
their way through the flames and
smoke which surrounded them.
Perhaps two score OF the survivors
struggled into Posen. village a few
miles from Metz, the clothing burned
from their backs, their bodies scared
and blackened their lungs choked
with smoke.
A relief train sent out from Alpena
brought the charred bodies OF the VIC
recognizable only by trinkets they
wore.
The Kempf family persisted only
after gallant fight to save
their home. All Thursday they
fought the flames, many times
beating them back, but at last
the barn caught fire, then the house
Hemmed in as they were by the forest
fires. there was no escape. The bodies
Of the father and mother and two
children were found. The third child
il missing.
Sixty people on south-bound train
from Cheboygan spent a night OF hor-
ror at La ROGUE, as they watched the
flames roaring all around. BY morn
ing the track was clear and they
escaped.
The forest fires are growing worse
all over northern Michigan. Seven vii
lagos In the vicinity of Sault Ste.
Marie battled all day with the flames
and their fate is still undecided The
fire reached the city limits of Sauli
Ste. Marie today but so far 1t has not
leaped the boundary.
Navigation on the upper lakes il
practically tied up.
The copper district in the upper pc
ninsula Is all ablaze.
