ToWN-PATHETIc TALES ARE
TOLD BY SURVIVORS.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 5.-For three
days the people of Michel have fought
for their homes with death at the
door. Yesterday afternoon they were
beaten at the game The city, second
in size of the devastated district OF
East Kootenay, started to burn in real
earnest at dusk. Nothing can save
it from being heap of ruins even
more complete than those at Fernie.
From a light eastern breeze the
wind turned to a gale from the west
at o'clock in the. afternoon and the
city in a moment was doomed. The
blaze came sweeping down the hill.
At the edge of town 100000 feet of
mine timbers owned by a coal com
pany caught fire and the four loaded
railroad cars standing on the side
track were consumed Two Canadian
Pacific locomotives were hitched to
a train TO carry the fire fighters west
TO safety but by the time the train
left for the west the fire was spread
Ing all over he yards.
The train got only half mile on It's
journey when IL encountered a wall OF
flame. There was danger of its being
hemmed in and being burned with ev-
erybody aboard so the locomotives
were reversed and run back with ain
speed.
BY the time the train returned. All
houses on the fiat district, back Of
the Great Northern depot were burn
ing and the main town was likely to
catch at any moment. At o'clock a
lone newspaper man and telegrapher
still stuck by the telegraph instru-
ment' The last message the newspap-
er man sent was: Many houses are
burning. Trains cannot get west Of
here. Railway service wesr of this
town will be blocked indefinitely. To
the east the line is clear will try to
reach Crows Nest before morning and
send news from there"

tradicted by the Cor

HACKENSACK DOCTORS
RESENT STATEMENTS
Declare They Did Not Give Up
BrOnn, but That Faith Curists
Took Charge of Case.
Especial to the Evening star,l

HACKENSACK, March 30.-At the
demand of Assistant Prosecutor j. S.
Mackay, of Bergen County. the grand
jury, which will meet On April 10 next,
will be asked to indict for m~anslaugti.
ter, for obtaining money under false
pretenses and for practicing medicine
illegally, the two New York Christian
Scientists, William H. Best and Charles
F. Brown, who were called to treat
Frederick Bronn. of Ramsey, and who
died lacking medical attention.
The prosecutors office charges that
the men make their living by giving
Christian Science treatment and there
by practise what is properly a medical
profession; that they charge for their
services and thereby get money under
false pretenses. and that by their pres
ence at the Bronn home. where they
assumed charge of the patient, they
committed an act of criminal neghA
gence In not giving medical treatment
and that they are therefore liable for
~manslaughter.
Both Mr.. -Mackag and DIR. G. A. De
Mund, the coroner, contraYene the
statements made by Christian Science
defenders. and principally the state
ment that the New Workers were called
in after the physicians had. given UP
the patient. This IS absolutely denied
] by DR.. De Mund.
He told the prosecutor on the strength
of statements by the attending ply
sicians, Or. Kiefer and DR.. De Voc,
that when they went to the Bronn
house to have a consultation on the
patient. they found the two scientists
there. and that it was at the suggestion
of Bronn's two sister under the in
flueflce Of the New York men. that the
two physicians quit.
That action left tho case in the hands
of the New York mon, who thereby as
sumed the responsibility, in the view Of

HOPES TO FORCE
0UT SALOONS BY
COFFEE HOUSES
Edward S. Black Would Also Es-
tabIish Reading Rooms for
Working Men.

Temperance was the subject of the
Sunday school lesson by Edward $.
Black at the Peoples Bible Glass, of
which he is leader. In part he said;
''To make the temperance reform sue
cessful we need to unite the destructive
and constructive methods of work. We
need to zee the evil as a warning. We
need also to see the good. We shall
then let the vision of the realization OF
the fruits of temperance show that 1t
outshines all the delights Of intemper-
ance, as the sun outshines the moon
and stars.
II plead for more constructive work
in the great temperance reform. /
plead for coffee houses, reading rooms
for w~orkingmen, and other substitutes
for the licensed saloon. l plead Tor
churches that shall appeal to the
masses, be open days In the week
and minister to the physical, mental,
moral and spiritual needs OF humanity.
/ plead for public Fairgrounds sufficient
for all the children of our great city.
] plead for constructive temperance
work with the rising generation, In order
that our children, or our children's
children, shall cause Dreweries. dis
t~illeries and saloons to close for want
OF patronage. If Christian ministers
and Sunday school teacher in h past
had realized their great opportunities
in this direction, the Christian church
of New Jersey would not have been en-
gagged in the recent unsuccessful effort
to place a local option law upon our
statute books
