to pull them out of the town.
Later, the flames subsidized and 500
refugees landed in International Falls
strong men, shaking like leaves in
a gale, women and their children,
fever patients on shutters, burned men
and women swathed in bandages and
a whole motley crowd in stock-cars
like cattle.
International Falls met them at the
station, opened the city hall and hotel
for them and gave them beds, such as
could be provided.
There was no escape to the west.
The east was the only chance and It
was slim one.
Bridges and culverts had burned
out, wires were down and trains were
run at their full speed. All the way
from Beaudette and Rainy River west
to Warroad, distance of so miles,
was solid mass of flames.
Beaudette is only a charred rem
nant of a town. Spooner is wiped
off the map. Cedar Spur, Graceton
Pitt, Swift and Roosevelt, mere ham,
let's, are burned to the ground.
Every settler in district bounded
by the Rainy River and the Lake of
the Woods on the north to rs miles
south, and from Warroad west, who
is not accounted for, is dead according
to the most conservative information
obtainable.

Mayor John Berg of International

and all stories from the fire district
are that the women and not the men
were the heroes.
When the refugees fed in panic for
the freight train that bore them from
Rainy River Saturday to this city,
men crushed women and children and
in spite of the fact that the cars were

ROOSEVELT A Fu|ER
COLONEL TRAVELS ABOUT THE
AVIATION FIELD WITH
ARCH HOxSEY.
DECLARES 1T "WAS FIRST CLASS"
Spectators Gaze Dumfounded Into Air
Until Necks Are Stiff at st.
Louis Aviation
Field.

81. Louis, MISSOURI. - IneCUOre
Roosevelt made an areoplane flight,
and said it was the finest experience
he ever had had. He Travelled twice
around the aviation field at Kinloch
park in three minutes and twenty
seconds. He waved his hand at the
crowd of thousands on the field below.
most of whom were too dumbfounded
to move. When the machine alighted
easily a few feet from the starting
place, a mighty shout of applause and
relief went up.
Arch Hoxsey, a Wright aviator with
whom Colonel Roosevelt made his
flight, said his passenger made good
fellow voyager for such trip, except
that his enjoyment led to an exuber.
ance of enthusiasm that threatened to
interfere with the engine, which was
roaring at his side. The colonel waved
his hands at the crowd below so Wig
orously that Hoxsey called out to him:
Keep your hands on the rail, col
onel.'
Colonel Roosevelt, who had forgotten
to hold himself in, waved his hands
once more and then obeyed orders.
People are Surprised.
The coloneps fight was complete
surprise to everybody. Although he
had been invited to go, no one had the
least idea that he would do so, and he
himself did not decide to go until the
moment before he stepped into the
machine.
The trip to the aviation field was
made to watch the flights that were on
Louis. Col. Roosevelt's car was driven
directly onto the aviation field, instead
of to the parking place for automobiles.
Around the rim of the field were hun
dreds of cars which footed their horns
in noisy chorus as the colonel appeared.
I'D like to have you for passen-
GER" said Hoxsey. The colonel looked
at him without word. Then he be.
gan to take off his coat. 1t was the
first intimation that anyone had had
that he would make the trip.
Bound to Go Up.
Governor Hadley stepped up quickly.
with scared look on his face.
Are you really going up, Colonel?"
he asked.
"Of course I am said the colonel,
and without another word he took his
seat beside the engine. Governor Had.
ley saw that it would do no good to
protest and stepped back. He admit.
ted afterwards that he was nervous.
When the people were convinced
that he had landed safely they cheered
the colonel wildly, and the guards had
all they could do to keep them from
breaking into the field and swooping
down upon him.
Colonel Roosevelt's first act was to
reach Hoxsey's hand and shake it Wig.
orously.
1T was great! First class! It was
the finest experience l ever had," he
said. 81 wish I could stay up for an
hour but haven't the time this after.
