DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Forest Fires Continue to Rage in
NOrthwest-Fires Cover Large
Area-Lives Lost.

Missoula, Montana, August 2l.-
Mercilessly and relentlessly the forest
fires in Western Montana and Idaho
are sweeping over vast area, driving
hundreds of fugitives before them, de-
stroying small settlements and wiping
out of existence millions Of dollars
worth of property.
The situation tonight is more Sc
rious than in the morning, except as to
Wallace, Idaho, where it is believed,
nearly half of the city will be saved.
Communication with Wallace to the
West has been possible at intervals to-
day, but eastward it Is entirely cut off.
1t is known that the entire east half Of
the town above 7th strteet has been
burned. West Of that a hard fight is
being made, and with an improvement
in the water supply there is more
chance that the flames may be driy-
en- back.
Reports Thirteen Fatalities.
For few minutes this afternoon the
Daily Muscular representative at
Wallace had a wire. He summarized
the situation as follows:
Thirteen lives lost. Property loss
S1,000,000. Fire still threatening"
Elsewhere in the fire zone the sit
uatioh has gone from bad to worse
today. The most serious incident is
reported late this afternoon from the
st. Coe country, where $50 men en-
gagged in the forestry service are miss
ing, and it is feared they have been
burned to death.
When the fire approached the camp
where there were two hundred men,
two of the fighters took horse and,
riding the animal to death, rode from
the camp and ordered a rescue party,
which penetrated the fire line to Bird
Creek. - ..--~tey: $50
$50 Men Missing.
Eighteen of the men were found in
the water, where they had gone for
safety, and were unharmed. From the
remaining 180 men no word has been
received. A relief train, well equip
ped with pack animals, has been Or
dered, carrying provisions and hospital
supplies, and will endeaVor to get
through the fire.
About a thousand refugees have
been brought into Missoula today.
There is much distress among them,
but their wants are being supplied by
Missoula people and they have been
given temporary homes. The first Of
the trains came in over the Northern
Pacific Couer d'Alene branch and
brought the patients who had been in
the Sisters hospital at Wallace, and
as many refugees as could find place
On the small train.

THE SITUATION.
By F. ". Higgins.

X *m* *
The DEVILS to pay, the pitch is hot,
And everything is ready;
II you want it on the spot,
Just hold the culprits steady.
Examine we'll each new suspect,
And scan his actions closely,
No matter how he may object,
Well put it on him loosely.
Commence right where his toe nails
sprout,
And paint him well and thickly;
Don't mind If he should yell and shout,
But lay it on him quickly.
If e'er his hand, with tainted cash,
From others pockets wrested;
Hot tar, since law forbids the lash
Holds good because its tested.
Or, has his tongue your honor stung,
Your legal rights prevented;
While we would like to see him hung,
With pitch We are contented.
Then dust some feathers On his hide,
Mid sounds Of exaltation,
And treat him to a fence rail ride,
Before all male creation
Don't stop until the outside bounds,
Of county you have fetched him;
Should he return, why, call your
hounds,
And chase him it'll you've catched
him.
Then hang him quickly up-side-down,
On top Of highest steeple;
AS justice to the straight in town,
And all good country people.
Yes, hang him there and let him hang,
The while the grafters revel;
Until the chieftain Of the gang,
Shall take him to the Devil.
Don't let them josh you just bit,
About the bane Of whiskey;
Since, truth in this We must admit,
We know the stuff is risky.
But whilst one has lost his all
And home support has wasted;
A hundred more have struck the wall,
Through poverty deep-tasted.
Think we'll before one step you take,
And don't you be be-fuzzled,
Or else you'll find when e'er you wake,
You're haltered, bound and muzz1ed.

PINCH HITTER
KENT WAS THERE
.coLLEGIAN TWlRLER OF EGAN's
STAFF TAKES TWO STRAIGHT
FROM kEWANEE.

Kenwanee, ILL.,, Sept. .-(Special)L
This is a tale Of one Maurice Kent,
an unassuming young fellow who owns
an arm that is most wickedly used In q
ball game. This Kent fellow also
owns couple that are 1000 per cent.
perfect. The arm and the eye robbed
Kewanee of two games of the national
pastime in these parts yesterday p. m.
when the Speed Boys twice trimmed
the Boiler Makers in fourteen innings
of ball. The first mix went five in
nings, owing to the muddy condition
Of the field, and 1t was won in the
fifth by Kent, who slapped the ball
over the left field fence for the circuit
with two pals on. The reason Kewanee
did not make any scores in the first
game was due entirely to the arm OF
Maurie, which only twice suffered by
the demon swatters of the home squad.
The scond game showed the Speed
Boys, enthusiastic over the way
Maurie was going at us; in true fight;
ing trim. All OF them seemed anxious
to repeat the feat Of Kent, and in
their endeavors, four extra base raps
and twelve singles were made OF
Thomas and Noe Kewanee bugs to
the number OF 1913 saw their prides
humbled.
