Great Danger.

War Road. Mimi. Oct. 9.-The
greatest catastrophe that Minnesota
has experienced since the Hinckley
catastrophe occurred Friday night
and Saturday when the whole Mimi
esota- Manitoba boundary country
was swept by fire, and as details be-
come known the disaster assumes an
palling proportions.
The number Of deaths tonight is
estimated from 100 to 200, almost
entirely among settlers in the woods
around the towns of Beaudetts Pitt.
Roosevelt and Graceton. Very few
of the settlers are known to have es-
capped, and this estimate will likely
fall considerably short of the actual
number
Scenes of horror are reported on
every hand. People lost their heads
completely and ran aimless about be-
wailing their loss. Streets of towns
were strewn with personal belongings
which were thrown away in their
flight.
Crowds of able bodied men, mostly
workmen with no persons to care for
ran pell nell to board the waiting
train at Beaudette, to the exclusion
Of women and children and refused
positively to assist in saving prop
erty. An eastbound freight went
through a burned culvert near Pitt
and blocked the line.
The village Of Pitt was burned Fri
day night and later the towns of
Spooner and Beaudette, six miles
distant, were in flames. A high wind
was blowing at the time and within
ten minutes after the appearance of
the fire the Inhabitants Of the town
were forced to flee for their lives, un-
able to save their property.
The fire was heralded by a shower
Of sparks and burning brands. which
swept across the Beaudette river and
the inhabitants had barely time to
reach the train which was waiting.
Then was acted scenes never to
be forgotten by those present. Sick
people apparently by the score were
carried or assisted to points of safety.
There were five patients in a hospital
which was burned. One woman who
had given birth to a child the same
evening had to be carried to the
office of the Shelvin- -Matthieu Lum-
ber company, in whose building many
people took refuge.
