700 HEMMED IN BY FLAMES
Towns of 6loomVllle and Heinemann,
Wis.,, Menaced by Forest Fires
Railroad Tracks Burned.

Merrill, Wis.-Seven hundred per-
sons Of Bloomville and Heinemann
were hemmed in Thursday by forest
fires at the former town with seem
ingly no means of escape.
The fires have destroyed the rail-
road tracks for some distance be-
tween Bloomville and Merrill, making
1t impossible for the inhabitants of
the doomed village to seek refuge in
that direction.
The situation at Bloomville is crit
ical. The 400 homeless of Heinemann
fled to that village only to be con-
fronted by similar peril
Gleason, north of Bloomville, is
isolated by the fire, and it has been
impossible to get word from the vii
lage for many hours. This leaves
Bloomville with its $50 persons cut
off on every side. With the population
nearly tripled, the question of feeding
the people is serious one. Reports
from Bloomville tell Of the flight of
scores of people, some going on foot
and others in wagons. The loss in
buildings is over 100000.
Several farmers families have not
been accounted for. Fields which
were about to be thrashed and live
stock and buildings were abandoned.

Dy the railroad man.
The young negro came through a
tour-hour third degree ordeal at the
hands of Coroner Hoffman, Deputy
Police Chief Schuettler and a half
dozen detectives with a story that was
practically mistaken. Although he was
held that his statement might be veri.
ned, the authorities were about ready
TO admit that he had no part in the
tragedy at Winnetka.
The arrest Of young Stevens came
about through a report made to the
coroner by H. P. Cullen, a collector,
who reported to Coroner Hoffman that
the negro had made threats against
Mr.. Rawn last May.
Cullen told the coroner that he had
learned that Stevens had been dis.
charged as the Rawn chauffeur for
Joy riding. He threw this up to Stevens
when the chauffeur was unable to nav
a Dill for a diamond ring. He de-
clared that Stevens said In referring
to Mr.. Rawn:

during his examination. He expressed
great admiration for his former enl-
ployer. He said that he had been
discharged only because Mr.. Rawn
had sold his car. He dared the au-
thorities to telephone to Ralph G. Co.
burn, Mr.. Rawn's son-in-law. if they
did not believe him.
Coroner Hoffman took the negro at
his word and reached Mr.. Coburn at
Winnetka and Mr.. Coburn said the
negro was telling the truth. He had
been an excellent chauffeur, except
for the fault that he was often late |
