her attorney to initiate proceedings
that would protect her interests, said
TO be considerable, in the estate Of the

tion Of death or of financial crisis,
put all of his property under the con.
troll of a concern known as Jay A
Rigdon & Co.

Rigdon, his son, would have every
thing at his fingers ends
A considerable part of the property

Wausau, Wis, July 22--The forest
fires at Galloway, a small town in the
southeastern part Of this county, are
probably the worst that ever visited
this district. Unless the wind shifts
it is feared millions of feet of choice
standing timber will go up in smoke.
The fire covers an area of ten miles
in length and three miles wide.
The Hatton Lumber company OF
New London already has lost 100000
feet of timber, the Moore 4 Galloway
company of Galloway 100000 feet,
the Chicago and Northwestern Lum-
ber company OF Chicago fourteen log
ging cars. Wausau and New London
steamers are fighting the fire, but
they are reported OF little help, so
great Is the fire.

Merrill, Wis, July 22.-Several hun
dred persons of Bloomville and Heine-
mann are hemmed in by forest fires at
the former town, with seemingly no
means of escape.
The fires have destroyed the rail-
road tracks for some distance be-
tween Bloomvile and Merrill, making
it impossible for the inhabitants of
the doomed village to seek refuge in
that direction. The situation at
Bloomville is critical. The 400 home
less of Heinemann fled to that village,
only to be confronted by a similar
peril.
Gleason, north of Bloomville, is iso-
lated by the fire and it has been inn
possible to get word from the village
for several hours. This leaves Bloom
vile with its $50 persons cut off on
every side. With the population near
ly tripled the question of feeding the
people is q 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
Business men of Merrill are aiding
