LOSS OF LIFE BY FIRES
is HOURLY INCREASING
Six Seek Refuge in Tunnel and
Are SuffoCated

SPOKANE, Aug. 22.-Specials tonight
from the forest fire zone accentuate
the horrors of the situation, and indi-
cate the loss of life is hourly increas
ing.
News comes from Wardner, Idaho,
that f. M. Bedell of Kellogg fore
man of a crew of 70 men under Ran
gers Pulaski and Lewis, on the Big
creek fire, was brought home last night
in an almost blinded condition. His
arms, hands and face are badly bliS-
tered and show the marks of his des-
perate fight for life. His crew was
working on the east side of the fire
in the Big creek basin. Their position
became untenable, and under the lead
ership of the rangers they scrambled
in the dim light of the fire to the crest
of the ridge, expecting to pass over to
Placer creek and out by way OF Wal
lace. Seeing their position practically
hopeless, the men broke into wild
stampede for the creek bottom below.
Bedell and seven others reached the
creek and sought refuge In the tun-
mel. Six were suffocated there.
Bedell says H. j. Hennis, III. S.
Smith and VIII Cameron, all of Ward
ner, are among the dead.
Survivors of the Big creek disaster
reached Wallace late this afternoon.
They said a relief party headed by
Ranger Wells had reached their gang
and medical aid was at hand.
Twelve men were killed in this party.
They will be buried in the woods where
they died.

By a change in the schedule the
boys will be at home now through
Tuesday of next week, instead of
leaving after the Yazoo City series
as heretofore announced. Arrange
ments have been made to exchange
dates with Jackson. so that bunch
will be here Monday and Tuesday.
This makes eight home games yet to
be played, and they are as follows:
Today and tomorrow with Yazoo City;
22nd and 23rd with Jackson 80 and

One thing should be made clear be-
fore the game starts Monday, and that
is that Bill Sorrels must behave him
self decently or leave the grounds.
The local association should know be-
fore the game starts wether or not
the umpire has been given any spe.
cial instructions for special protec-
ton to this aggregation of rowdies,
and if he has these instructions
the game should be called off or not
started. It is perhaps asking too
much of Sorrels to ask him to be de-
cent in his behavior, but it is not ask
ing too much of the umpire to ask
him to put Sorrells off the ground if
he is not as fairly decent as he can
be.
