permit the tearing down of the brick
wall and the opening of the vault,
under the guard of Company K.
When it became apparent that the
town was in danger, many persons
ran with their valuables to the
vault and as result, $4,000 worth
of jewelry and other articles were
saved. DR.. Corrican recovered $500
worth Of instruments and Miss Asmus
found her 5000 worth of furs and a
mink winter hat had been uninjured.
except that the plumes on the hat
had been Drowned by the heat.
Mr.. Berg is assisting in the rescue
work, and it is upon information
from him that there are added to the
death list: Martin Klakey, Nels A.
|Klakey and John Alfverson. With
Governor Eberhart, MI. Berg ran his
launchsten miles up Silver Greek.
Here they discovered the discarded
weapons Of these three men, the guns
telling silent but CHASTITY tale of
their owners deaths.
e Sergeant George T. Baker, one of
the members of the Bemidji militia
who had the honor to be appointed
orderly to the governor, tells a
dramatic story of woman refugee,
who is being cared for by his wife at
Bemidji.
This refugee was a resident of
Spooner and when the flames en-
quilted the town, she ran from the
house with her baby under her.
arms for place of safety. She
had run only few rods when the
sea of flames shot upward and be-
gan to whirl like tornado, Great
ing powerful suction of hot air
which wrenched the child from its
mothers arms and sent her reeling
in a cloud of dust and Aamesh OF
smoke. The woman, frantic from
burns and fear, staggered to her
feet completely at loss as to the
location of her baby, whose plain
tive cry was drowned by the rush.
ing roar of the sweeping flames.
The desperate mother felt the
child's dog Juggling at her skirts.
She followed the animal to a nearby
and somewhat sheltered ravine and
found her baby and both are alive
and we'll.
Another death, a peculiarly pa
thetic one, took place today as a re-
suit of the fire. 1t was the six.days-
old child of Mrs. Otto Dierckes, wife
of the Office manager at Spooner of
the Namakan Lumber company,
subsidiary concern of the Shevlin-
Matthew. Mrs. Dierckes, on the
night of the fire, was carried on
blankets to the lumber companv's
Office, where she still remains. Her
child died of exposure. 49,
In the open air and surrounded
by men ready to carry her to shelter,
Mrs. Mike Subsysion, wife of mill
man, gave birth to boy. She and
the child we're we'll cared for and
both are expected to live. ....c~.

BLAMES POOR ROADS
FOR DEATHS IN FIRE
w. r. Mackenzie, in St. Paul Interview
Declares Policy of State is
Criminal
BELIEVES DEATH LIST WILL GROW
Figures That Searching Partie. Will

Were Cremated.

were Cremated.
The following is taken from the
St. Paul Pioneer Press:
w. R. Mackenzie secretary of the
Northern Minnesota Development
company, arrived in St. Paul yes.
terday morning from Baudette,
Mimi, which was destroyed by the
forest fires early in the week. Mr..
Mackenzie lives in Bemidji and
was on the first relief train that made
its way through the burning bush
into Baudette. He pictures wildly
the scene of the smoking ruins of
the town and panic-stricken settlers
who took refuge in International
Falls, MINI.
Mr.. Mackenzie is inclined to think
that the 1eath list will be greater
than ]. H. Beck intimated in his tele-
gram of yesterday. Mr.. Beck, who
went to Baudette on the Twin City
relief train, which also bore the Gov
ernor, said he did not think the dead
would number more than so.
On this point Mr.. Mackenzie said:
To those who are familiar with
the country and the conditions in
Beltrami county, it seems that the
loss of life was great. We base this
estimate on the fact that in all proba-
bility the fire burned over TIE Rapid
River country, which is fairly we'll
settled. The very fact that so few
injured have made their way to Bau-
dette and International Falls in
dicates that the loss of life must
have been large. 1t would seem
that after five days people would be-
gin reporting to the towns. The fire
swept over a country not less than
fifty miles long and at least ten or
fifteen miles wide."
Mr.. Mackenzie declares that the
state laws were responsible to great
extent for the great loss by fires,
through the absence of roads in that
part of the state. The state" he
said is the largest land owner in
that part of the country, and settlers
cannot build roads through"
"The charred remains of women
and innocent children which lie
unburied today, are mute protest
against the state to allow such
conditions to exist. The legis-
lature should amend our laws.
The millions of money now in
the school fund has been accumu-
lated largely by the sale OF North
ern Minnesota lands which were
given to this state with the pro-
viso that money received for their
sale should be used in their i'm
provement. No improvement has
been made.
The Hinckley fire should have
taught the people their duty. Will
they learn their lesson now or wait
another catastrophe?
Aid of all kinds should be held
subject to orders of whosoever
Governor Eberhart shall designate.
AT least $15O,OOO.OO cash is needed,
and I have no doubt the people
will respond literally. The Duluth
Commercial club last evening
pledged $4,000 to be raised in
Duluth, while Eveleth, Virginia and
other range cities have reported in
money already collected from $500
to $1,000 EACH"

STONER TO FURNISH
LIGHT FOR BRAlNERD
Council, After Six Months Wrangling
Decide to Accept Offer Made by
Bemidji Man.


Brainerd common council. which
was called by the mayor of that city
for securing power for electric motors
and lighting purposes, the contract
was awarded to M. D. Stoner of Be-
midi.
Mr.. Stoner had made the city of
Brainerd a proposition for power and
light some time ago, but his propo-
sition was turned down and one that
was costlier to the city was approved.
Mayor A. Oustahl submitted the
following to the council at this
special meeting last night:
Brainerd. Mimi, Oct. 10, 1910.
To the Honorable City Council.
Gentlemen
Acting on the suggestion of the
Editor of the Daily Dispatch, have
called this special meeting in hopes
that you may take some definite
steps toward securing power for elec-
trio motors and lighting purposes.
Owing to the fact that the N. P.
Ry. Co. may not furnish us with cur
rent after Nov. list, it behooves you
to take immediate action.
I would suggest that you proceed
to install a temporary steam plant,
such as suggested by Mr.. R. B.
Smart in the minority report submit.
ted to you at your last meeting.
In order to- expedite matters Il
have secured Mr.. E. Marshall of
the Toltz Engineering Co., of St.
Paul, who is here with US tonight.
He will submit to you an estimate
as to cost, etc., required to install
and equip the Parker power house
ready for service. 1 undertand that
this work or station can be made
ready for service in about two
weeks time with an expense of about
$4,000.
With this station in operation we
will be able to provide current for the
city, except for a few hours in the
evening, during the so.called peak
load. and I am credibly informed
that this will be taken care of by the
N. P. Ry Co. until such time as the
city can make permanent arrange.
ments. If necessary the Parker
power house can at nominal cost
be so equipped that it will supply all
the current required by the city.
In either case it will mean
saving to the city of from $4,000
to $4,000 per month over and
above the present rate now paid
N. P. Ry. Co.
In hopes that you will act upon
these suggestions, remain,
Yours respectfully,
A. Ousdahl,
Mayor.
On motion the communication
was accepted. Alderman Zakariasen
introduced the resolution for the
adoption of the Stoner contract, the
contract to be published in the
