Several were severely burned, but
none was disfgured beyond identifica-

President Welborn of the company
stated that he did not believe any
more bodies would be found very
soon, for the reason that the rest of
the imprisoned men were company

SITUATION NOW
MORE HOPEFUL
Minnesota Forest Fires Appear
to Be Dying Down.
DEATH LIST MUCH REDUCED
Believed Number of Victims May Not
Exceed One Hundred, but Prop

DEATH LIST MUCH REDUCED
FOREST FIRE SUMMARY.

Area-Fires burning in all parts of
border territory from Greenbush, in
Roseau county, to International Falls,
and on both sides of the Canadian
boundary: also reported as far south
as Bagley, in Clearwater county, and
Nebish, in Beltrami county.
Losses--Five hundred square miles
of virgin timber and thousands of set
tiers homes. Property losses are esti-
mated at from $5,OOO,0OO to $1O,OOO,.
900.
Dead-Latest estimate places dead
at 100, but is made without knowledge
of conditions that investigation of
burned area may reveal. known dead
number close to fifty.
Towns Burned-Baudette, Spooner,
Clementson, Salol.
Towns in Danger-Gonvick, Clear
Brook, Kelliher, Longby, Greenbush,
Plummer, Rainier, Roosevelt, Williams,
Warroad.
Fugitives by the hundreds are being
cared for at Rainy River, Internation-
al Falls and Bemidji and in smaller
numbers at WarrOad, CrOOkstOn and
other Minnesota towns.
Need of Assistance Imperative.
With the abating of the wind in
the forest fire zone along the Mime
sota-Canadian border the need of re-
lief in gigantic proportions becomes
apparent Trains are entering the
stricken territory from all directions,
bearing supplies of every description
needed.
Governor Eberhart and party are on
a special train bound for International
Falls and the towns of SpOOner and
Baudette A carload of provisions and
a great supply of tents and other nee
essaries for use in sheltering and car
ing for the refugees are carried north
ward The train must pass through
territory where the fires are burning
and at Bemidji anxiety is felt for the
party's safety.
WoOdsmen are having difficulty
penetrating the ruined forest area, be-
cause of the smouldering ashes that
emit gases.
What a thorough investigation in
the burned district will reveal is at
this time cOnjectural.

FIRES ARE NOW DYING DOWN
Situation Around Rainy River Not So
Threatening.

Rainy River, Ont, Oct. 12.-The for
est fire is we'll under control in this
district and around International
Falls.
The work of feeding and housing
the refugees and the gathering of the
dead is engaging the attention of ev-
cry one. Thirty corpses are in the
morgue here and as many more have
been taken south on the line to Du-
luth.
1t is now evident that unless per-
sons have perished in isolated dis
tricts the death list will not exceed
100.
While the fire is no longer danger
ouS a high wind will make the situa-
ton as serious as ever.

she received the following names:

There has been an increase of about
~ cents per pound on all meats in
Copenhagen lately. But that, how
ever, did not prove very popular with
good housewives of the city. who i'm
mediately started to cut down their
meat supply. They have shown dis
position to stick to their resolution in
this regard and it is very possible that
the Copenhagen butchers will have to
come to time and reduce the prices
again or they will sell that much less
meat
The so called "Rigshospitalet,"
which has recently been erected in
Copenhagen and which is considered
one of the most modern hospitals in
Europe and certainly the largest in
Denmark, was dedicated by Bishop P.

king and queen. the crown prince and
many members of the diplomatic corps
and other high functionaries were

to show the strength of his mighty right,
johnson lifted his 2O0-pound opponent
almost clear of the floor and swung him

Just what Charlie Frank of New Or
leans means by making Gene Demont
assistant manager Is not clear.
According to the reports, because De-
mont is not hitting at all, George Robe
will be tried at second when Hyder Barr
goes to first. This will put Demont or
the bench, but it is certainty that
Frank will not pay Demont salary t.
do the work which he, himself, has so
Successfully done these. many years.
7 1t is generally believed that Frank is
preparing to place Demont either through
a loan or a sale. 1t Is rumored that he
will succeed Babb of Memphis 1t is also
reported that he will go to Mobile as
manager and second baseman. 1t is known
that President COLLISION is anxious to an
hex an experienced second-sacker, and
Gene Demont will fill that bill.
The report that waivers have been
asked on Demont is not true, or at least
20 such request has reached Birming
ham. Another interesting rumor from
New Orleans is that along with Demont
Frank will dispose of Robe, to make way
Tor the coming of Jakey Atz.
Frank is president of the New Orleans
club as well as manager. OF course,
he has a perfect right to make Demont
manager If he sees fit. But If Demont Is
TO manage the club Frank is not entitled
to a seat on the players bench-no more

ham.
For this reason Wordsworth was justi-
fled in protesting, and will be justified In
protesting again this afternoon.

and because players thought Demont
trapped the ball instead of catching it, a
triple play was pulled off.
In the third inning the Pels filled the

Montgomery is playing finely at this

ABOUT THE CIRCUIT

Klawitter, stationed in right. hit the ball
that did the work.
Grantland Rice, sporting editor of the
Nashville Tennessean, sagely observes
that it is now only a question of luck
as to which of six clubs wins the PEN
nant.
In case the Barons get an even break
in the luck, he continues, they will win
the rag. The Barons certainly made q
splendid impression In Nashville. At the
league meeting in Chattanooga last Week
T. e. Kuhn, president of the Nashville
club, told Wordsworth that he feared the
Barons would reach the top and make
a runaway of the fight Not at ALL" re-
piled Wordsworth, the league is now too
fast and the strength of the clubs too
nearly even for any bunch to outclass
the others, granting that all are observ-
ing and will continue to observe the SAL
airy limit.
The association picked up a little sum
of money yesterday morning in an unique
manner. Paddy Kane. one of last sea-
as is known, and retired from the game.
Then Altoona of the Tri-State league felt
the need of a catcher, and offered the
local association $3.50 for Kane. The offer
was grabbed for fear that it would be
withdrawn.
Moxie Manuel. the old Baron, now on
the staff of the Mobile Reedbirds, spent
yesterday in Birmingham with friends
He will rejoin Mobile in Montgomery to-
day and will pitch tomorrow, it Is prob
able.
The Athletics regained the lead in the
American league race yesterday. 1t looks
as if 1t will be nip and tuck between
the Athletics and Highlanders for the re-
mainder of the season.
The report that internal dissension is
the cause of the woeful slump of the
Pittsburg Pirates is denied. But it is
evident that something is wrong, with
Wagner. He is hitting about .225. With
Wagner doing such work the Pirates cam
not hope to win pennant. 1t is said,
too, that Wagner is not closely observ-
ing the players rules of department this
season. If this is true, the greatest of
them all is having his last fly.
Birmingham fans are hungrying for
sight of a game. The team will not play
here before June 20. On that date the
Barons meet the Climbers.
If we remember correctly, we have an
old score to settle with the Climbers.

Let him protest it," said Frank. and
the Dutch manager gave a wink to two
or three other occupants of the bench.
Manager Wordsworth says that New Or
leans has no right to have two managers,
and that Franks act in making Denont
playing manager is a subterfuge to get
around the salary limit. While he won't
say positively indications are that he
will play Tuesdays game under protest.
Wordsworth can protest every game so
far as | am concerned" said Frank. II
am going to keep my seat. It's a shady
one and | wouldn't feel comfortable
watching a game from any other posi-
ton.
