HELENA, M0N.- Special
Five thousand square miles of
timber land I'm Western Montana
and Eastern Idaho are ablaze TO-
day and as much more territory
has been laid waste by the worst
forest fires I'm the history OF the
United States. The property loss
Is already $2O,OOO,OOO according
TO careful estimates, and the des-
perate efforts OF an army OF s.
900 men to check the flames have
proved futile.
IL Is believed that the death list
will be over 800 when the final
accounting Is made. Fully 200
persons have been reported miss
ing and the known dead today
number more than fifty.

night In vain he plugged and ham
mered at the inner doors, but fail

left, consoling himself with a fine
Winchester rife and several articles
OF clothing.
The results of the burglars energy
was discovered this morning when
Mr.. Herbert c. Elliott. the book
keeper. opened the business place
Shells were scattered about on the
floor In front OF the safe were the
tools used in battering at the inner
doors.
Entrance was made through the
second story window in the rear of
the store. The yegg is believed to
have been a negro, owing to the
traces left behind and his manner Of
procedure. Taking no chances upon
being caught he armed himself with
a shotgun, kept within easy reach,
and went to work. Shells we're scat
tered over the floor for easy access
to ammunition A hatchet from the
store was used in battering of the
knobs OF the safe door. The big out
Ier doors were left unlocked last
night when the store was closed and
they responded to the pull. A bar
rel gimlet was brought into play in
an effort to force the lock, and a pair
of plyers left behind showed his des-
perate attempt to open the safe.
The safe is badly damaged and
could not be opened this morning. II
contained only small change and the
Office books and papers OF value A
safe expert had to be secured be-
fore 1t could be opened.
Across the hallway was a store
room filed with furniture and cloth
ing. An inventory of the loss made
this morning showed the following
articles missing: One suit of clothes,
a top sack coat. all OF Mr.. r. w. Nc
Kinney's summer underwear. a fine
Winchester rife, a handsome meer-
schaum pipe and few other minor
articles.
The desk drawers were rumaged
through and papers strewn over the
floor. The burglar left through the
rear door and Mr.. Mckinney Is work

nerviest robberies that has been com
