Fifteen people lost their lives on
Thursday night in the burning OF
the Detroit & Mackinaw RRiyWay com
pany's relief train, which was carrying
the inhabitants OF the little village of
Metz, Mich, twenty-three miles north
Of Alpena to safety from the for
est fires which we're sweeping away
their homes. The ill-tated train was
ditched by spreading rails a Nowicki
siding a few miles south of SIetz. and
the terrified refugees were forced to
abandon the cars and rush for safety
either down the track. with burning
forests on either side, or into the
plowed fields near the siding. Eleven
Of the victims were women and chill
dren. who were unable to escape quick
" enough from the gondola car which
they were occupying. Their charred
bodies were found there when res
cuers reached the scene Two of the
men victims were members OF the
train crew.
Four additional fatalities occurred
in the neighborhOod of the wreck. Mr.. |
and Mrs. Fred Wagner died from heat |
and exhaustion on their farm near the |
scene OF the wreck, and Mr.. and Mrs |
Fred Nowicki. Jr.. lost their lives in |
their burning house near the siding |
where the wreck occurred.
When the forest fires closed in |
about the little village. a special train |
Of three emnty box cars and two coal |
gondolas was rushed to Metz. in
charge of John E. Kinville. conductor;
William Foster. engineer: Arthur Lee.

As rapidly as possible the people
and their goods were loaded into the
cars. When the train started there

Nowicki crossing, Engineer Foster
saw blazing piles of cedar ties on both
sides of the track. Opening wide the
throttle, he tried to dash through at
full speed, but the heat had loosened
the rails and they had spread and the
train left the track. Blazing piles of
ties surrounded It, and in an instant
the cars caught fire. The terror
