FIERCE FOREST FIRES
TOWNS AND VILLAGES SWEPT BY
THE FLAMES.
PEOPLE FLEE FOR SAFETY
Half Of Town Destroyed and Remain.
Ing Section Threatened Many
Reported Missing.

Missoula, Mont.-Mercilessl and re-
ientlessly the forest fires in Western
Montana and Idaho are sweeping over
vast area, driving hundreds of fu-
gitives before them, destroying small
settlements and wiping out of exist
ence millions of dollars worth of prop
erty.
The situation is serious. Ass-to
Wallace, Idaho, it is believed that
nearly half of the city will be saved.
Communication with Wallace to the
west has been possible. 1t is known
that the entire east half of the town
above Seventh street has been burned.
West of that hard fight is being
made andAwith an Improvement in the
water supply there is some chance
that the flames may be driven back
Thirteen lives are reported lost.
Property loss, $1,OOO,OOO. Fire still
burning.
Elsewhere in the fire zone, the situ..
alton has gone from bad to worse. The
most serious incident was reported
late Saturday from the st. Coe coun-
try, where 1870 men engaged in the
forestry service are missing and it is
feared they have been burned to
death.
When the fire approached the camp,
where there were 200 men, two of the
fighters took horse and, riding the
animal to death, rode from the camp
and ordered rescue party, which PEN
etrated the fire to Bird Creek.
Eighteen of the men were found In
the water, where they had gone for
safety, and they were unframed.
From the remaining 1870 men no
word has been received.
A relief train, well equipped with
pack animals, has been ordered, car
rying provisions and hospital supplies,
and will endeavor to get through the
fire. About thousand refugees were
brought into Missoula Sunday There
is much distress among them, but their
wants are being supplied by Missoula
people and they have been given tenn
porary homes. The first of the trains
came in over the Northern Pacitlcs
Occur d'Alene branch and brought the
patients who had been in the hospital
at Wallace and as many refugees as
could find places on the small train.
There were $50 on this train, and a
second train at noon brought as many
more. These people came from the
small towns along the line.
Another train with 200 people on
board is expected over the Chicago
Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway.

smoke being given lurid hue, which

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-That charges
OF contempt may be made against the
federal Grand jurors who indicted
George w. Fitzoerald in connection
with the disappearance of the $173, ,0CS
from the local sub-treasury, was init
mated today by District Attorney
Sims.
The Jurors have done too much
talking. One of them asserted that
other men were indicted with Fitz-
gerald, which the district attorney
promptly denied, despite the fact that
the Juror gave the name of one Of the
men indicted.
Sims and Judge Landis held con-
sultation regarding the disclosures
but he would not say what action had
been decided upon.
''If other indictments were voted y
declared Sims, then the jurors are
in contempt of court for telling secrets
of the jury room. If other indict-
ments wore voted the men are liable
for libel.''
Although Fitzgerald is desirous OF
an immediate trial, the federal at
torneys have not decided when he will
be arraigned.
