Calamity Regarded as In

Many Crazed by Grief
Are Roaming Woods in
Search of Friends.

War Road, Mimi, oct 9.-Beudette,
Spooner. Pitt and Gracetown were
wiped off the map by a forest fire
this morning. The bodies of 75 set
tiers have been located and it is
thought the dead will number upward
of three hundred.
Wagon loads of human bodies are
being brought into the railway sta
ton of Beaudette. 1t is reported that
many settlers, crazed by grief and
the loss of their families and prop
erty, are roaming the woods. Search
ing parties are looking for the dead.
injured and demented.
Saturday night a tornado of fire
struck Beaudette and Spooner and
within three minutes after the fire
alarm every building in the towns
was ablaze Within a half hour they
were heaps of ashes. The people Of
the two towns had just time enough
to get out of their homes with what
they had on their backs. They were
loaded on a passenger train standing
at the depot and taken to Rainy
River.
The whole country east is on fire
Roosevelt, Swift, williams and Cedar
Spur are in great danger. All the
women and children are being rapidly
removed to places of safety. The peo-
pie of Beaudette and Spooner and the
settlers all through the north central
part Of the state have lost everything.
Five thousand are homeless and the
greater number are destitute. Help
must reach them in the next day or
two, as the greater part are only
about half clad.
The Canadian Northern trains have
been stalled her since Friday noon,
when a freight train went through a
bridge near Pitt The crew was
saved and Conductor Monahan walked
into Beaudette, which he reported as
destroyed. Only a water tank, school
house and the walls of the depot were
standing Monahan says he walked
over dead bodies on the way, but
did not say how many.

SIMILAR STORY FROM
RAINY RIVER ONT.
Relief Trains of Canadian Northern
!
Saved Thousands of Lives.

Rainy River, Ont, Oct. s.-While
the wind is sweeping the fire east
ward on the south side of Rainy river
with velocity of fifty miles an hour,
the great body of the flames has
passed this section, revealing that the
calamity has already reached the pro-
portions of an international disaster.
Sixty bodies have been found in the
path Of the flames and a vast area is
yet to be searched for the dead while
the towns of Spooner, Beaudette and
Pitt, Minnesota, are totally destroyed,
with great property losses.
With the exception of the destruc-
ton of the mills and stock Of the Rat
Portage Lumber company on Rainy
River, the principal loss is confined to
the American border. Railroad wire
connections west are cut off by the
burned district extending forty miles
from War Road on the Canadian
Northern through the district the last
trains passed last night. The road is
open to the southeast, however, relief
is afforded from Fort Williams.
The fires that have been shoulder
ing in that district for months were
started anew by the terrific wind OF
two days ago. The wind increased in
velocity until it bore the wave OF
flame a hundred feet high and half q
mile wide Many settlers took to the
railroad track, but most Of these were

EnTOMBEO MEN IN
STARKV|LLE MINE
-
CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE PUTS

There Is Strong Hope That Most of

Starkville, Colo, Oct. 9.-Entonbed

Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.. fifty-twO
men are the objects of heroic efforts
of rescuers, who worked throughout
the day to penetrate the black depths
in the hope that some and probably
all of the imprisoned will be rescued.
The presence of black damp, which
almost invariably follows in the wake
of a coal mine explosion, made the

Late today it was ordered that none
enter the mine until a portable fan
is installed, so the rescue work was
called off temporarily. The fan
reached the portal at 4 o'clock mount
ed on an electric car and was gradu-
ally pushed forward into the new
stope, working as it went, driving the
gas ahead to the air shaft thousands
OF feet inside the mine. where it es-
capped to the open air.
The greatest caution is being ex-
ercised lest the fan be advanced too
rapidly and a sudden rush of gas kick
back and overwhelm the men and
snuff out their lives.
According to a statement by the
coroner the men known TO be in the
mine are twenty-eight Poles, three
Russians, ten Americans. four Mexi-
cans and one Servian.
While the list only totals fortysix,
the coroner says he is positive there
are fifty-two inside the mine. Some
familiar with the working conditions
in the mine express the belief that
the number estimated by the coroner
is too conservative and freely state
their opinions that the number is
nearer eighty. Hardened by previous
experience of sights surrounding ex-
plosions in mines, the residents of

watched the rescuers as they entered
the mine and were later dragged into

BILLY MASON WANTS
SENATORIAL 1OGA
Lormer Is Ousted.

Chicago, Oct 9.-FOr successor to
Senator Lorimer, in event the Bur-
rows committee vacated his seat in the
United States senate, there is increas-
.ator, William E. Mason, who in Chi
cago has been popularity known as
Billy Mason out of an affectionate
regard for his old-fashioned honestly.
The name of B. A. Eckhardt, also Of
Chicago, a member of the railway
and warehouse commission and a mill
lionaire, also is mentioned. Former
Senator Mason was the father of the
present pure food law and the first
champion in the senate of the postal
savings bank bill. His greatest
strength lies in a record of integrity
and since the Lorimer inquiry has be-
come almost a national issue party
leaders have realized the need of such
a man to fill the Lormer seat if it
should become vacant. Mr.. Eckhardts
reputation is also high but his mill

labor has repeatedly endorsed and
supported Mason and the farmers
have had occasion to regard him,

The defeat of Mason by Hopkins was
looked upon at the time as due to
the liberal use of money and under
such conditions as would result from
a humiliation of Lorimer by the SEN
atorial investigation the return of Ma

ters as a recognition of his service by

Los Angeles. oct. 9.-Seventeen Of
the twenty who lost their lives in the
explosion of the Times were laid to
rest today in graves side by side in
Hollywood cemetery. one funeral was
held for all in the Auditorium which
was packed by thousands. while a
greater crowd, unable to enter, stood
outside in solemn silence. The cere-
monies followed sermons in nearly all

TO PRESERVE LOCAL COLOR
Five Young Men Secure
Tract and Start Con-
struction of Neat Homes
of Smaller Type Bound to
Appeal to Refined Tastes.

When wOrkmen start this morning
uopn the construction of one of the
daintiest four-room cottages ever seen
in this section. termed by the origin
atOrs of the idea, an Arizona Wickiup,
one Of the most unique projects in the
history of building operations in the
southwest will have been fully started.
The Wickiup Builders, an organiza-
tiOn of five young men of Phoenix,
shortly over a week ago, purchased
through the 3 G. Pecka real estate
office, fifteen lots in block 25. of Cap
itol addition, comprising half a city
square between Fifteenth and Six
teenth avenues on West Harrison
street These lots are situated in a
growing part of the town and are
probably destined to quickly increase
in value
Before purchasing these lots the
project which will be inaugurated this
morning, was fully worked out. With
the end in view Of appealing to people
of refined tastes desiring small, but
well appointed houses, 1t is planned to
erect upon each of the lots a small
four-rOom Wickiup or cottage, the
architecture of which is a distinct de-
parture from anything ever attempted
in Phoenix previously. There will be
a sleeping and living room in the
en- and screen sleeping room. The in
terror finish viii be of burlap of deli
cate tints calculated to be restful to
the eye and lending a distinctiveness
to the general appearance.
Another feature which will appeal
to the man with limited means who
desires a home, is the manner of sell
ing Upon the payment of a small
amount down, the balance viii be
made payable in monthly instaIlments
of SIS each. thereby affording the op-
portunity of purchasing while practic-
none of the Wickiups together with
the lots, 4Ox125, will call for an ex-
pediture in excess of $1,000.
When the present tract is disposed
of, it is planned to secure another
and larger tract, which will probably
be sufficiently extensive to call for a
subdivision into squares and building
lots. The same class of houses or
cottages will be erected. the idea be-
ing to preserve the local color of Ari-
zona and to avoid the bungalow type
so generally in use where small dwell
ings are desired.
Whenever a subdivision is opened,
the streets will be designated trails or
paths and a distinctive Indian name
applied To each. Thus ii may be some
day it will be common to say that
person lives upon Apache Trail OF
Cheyenne Path Every Wickiup will
be of a different design while follow
ing out the same general principles
already adopted.
The Wickiup Builders consists of w.
ID. O'Neil, president and general man
ager; Henry B. Cate. vice president;
C. w Jayred, secretary and treasurer.
These officers form the board of di-
rectors, the other members of the or
ganiZation being r. w. Lescher and
Howe A. Williams Mr.. Lescher is the
architect of the various Wickiups and
will in general supervise their con-
struction.
