FLEEING FROM FOREST FIRES,

FLEEING DUN rOhLA0A
John B. ElviDg and bic vile, with
their month old bsby, together with
their six ether children, the eldest OF
whom is is years old, are being cared
for 10 Q temporary hospital at Grand
Marsis, Micb., following heart breaking
80 mile trip through the sparsely'settled
and 6amiDg forest between Grand
MarsIs and Upper Brule Lake. II took
them five days to cover the distance and
they we're altsrnstely almost burned and
frozen to death. Two of the smaller
children we're saved from drowning 10
the swift current Of B ule river BY the
fsmily's giant Newfoundland dog.
When Elviug and his family werer out
ed from their beds early Sunday
morning by advancing forest h'es on all
sides they beat haIty retreat With
small stock OF provisions. The over.
hanging smoke almost tudocsted and
blinded the fugitiyes, and, fearing the
unknown perils which might await them
in the unmspped forest, Ewing stuck
siubboruly BY the shores Of the lake and
B ule river.
The frat dsy and night they progress
ed ten miles, 30 nesr to deer, bears and
other Wild beasts that Elving was forced
to drive them to one side to furnish pas
sage for bis terrified family. The crack
ling of flames 10 the underbIu,h and the
roar OF The wiud.swept bl,zs through
the tree tops overhead rang constantly 10
the ears of the fug't'ves. Burning cinders
dropped Oh the oarehsaded woman and
her charge.
The second day they advanced only
five miles. The woman wss overcome
With ht'gu,. She became hytt,rical
and would not permit her husband to
carry the babe. Tney reached ,rmer
settlement snd replenished their ex.
hsusled provisions. The night winds
from Laks Superior chilled them to the
marrow and Elving made q 6re In
vegetable celler. Ia the morning he
discovered that the fires were impossible.
The next midnight, when the glow
ahead seemed to have died out, the
fugitives again set forth.
They proceeded about FIVE miles when
suddenly, upon rounding q bend in the
river. they faced 8 veritsble furnace
speeding through the dry and cracking
tinbess toward them. They reireated 8
short disiauce until 6res we're discovered
behind them.
Elviug, With bis hand axe, cut limbs
from trees on the bank, sought favor
able place in the stream and stationed
himself and bis family neck.deep 10
water. underneath q wetled screen OF
ndel bush, which they saturated from
time to tine until the FIRE bnrnGd out.
The fourth day surrounding ftes
again forced them to resort to The same
artlfce, but the deep river boiled there
between narrow banks and two OF the
youoger children who ven u,ed t1o far
out were swept In the current. The big
family dog, who had 80 far, by swim
ming the river, evsded the flames, help.
ed ElviDg to rescue them.
Vest rdsy morning The family reached
an abandoned homestead, where they
found an OK aud cart, In which they
made the rest of the journey t. Grand
Marsis, The dog was cut of by q ire
yest.rdsy and perished.
