Worst in Is Years.

Warroad, Oct. 10.-The greatest
catastrophe in Minnesota that has oc-
curred since the Hnc1ley horror Is
years ago, occurred Friday night and
Saturday when the whole of the
Mfnnesota-Mani boundary coun-
try was swept by fire and as the de
tails become known the disaster as
sumes appalling proportions. The
number of deaths is estimated from
100 to 200. almost entirely among
the settlers of the woods around the
towns of Beaudette. Pitt. Roosevelt
and Graceton. Very few settlers
are known to have escaped. This
estimate will likely fall considerably
short of the actual number. The
Scenes are horrible. People lost their
heads completely. The streets of the
towns are strewn with personal be-
lOngings.
Crowds of able bodied men ran
peil nell to board the waiting train
at Beaudette to the exclusion of
women and children and refused to
assist in saving property An east
bound freight went through the
burned country near Pitt Pitt
burned at o'clock Friday night. A
hurricane was blowing and within
ten minutes after the appearance of
the fire the inhabitants OF the town
were fonced to flee. being unable to
save anything.
The fire was heralded by a shower
of burning brands which swept
across Beaudette river. The in
habitants had scarcely time to board
the special train waiting before the
town was on fire Sick people APP
parently by the score appeared and
were carried or assisted to points OF
safety
There were five patients in the
Carrigan's hospital which burned.
One woman who had given birth to a
child at five o'clock the same even
ing had to be carried to the office Of
a lumber company. where many
people took refuge. The bulk of the
population of Beaudette are housed
at Rainy river and a special train is
waiting to take the people to some
other point east in case the fire
should get a fresh start. The town
is not entirely free from danger.
The buildings of Shevlin-Mathiew
Lumber company are practically the
only structures left standing in
Spooner, not even a tree, fence, or
foot of sidewalk being in sight.
There are not even heaps of debris.
Everything was entirely licked up.
The property loss in Rainy river
Beaudette and Spooner alone, incldd-
ing the Rat Portage Lumber COM
pany's plant and the ward at Rainy
river and the ward of the Shelvin-
Matthew Lumber company at Spooner
will total about 100000.
