the Rainy river and Lake of the
Woods on the north, to twenty-five
miles south of Fort Frances Ont, and
from Spooner and Baudette, Mimi, on
the east to Warroad, Mimi, on the
west who are not accounted for are be-
lieved to be dead. as there was 10
known means of escape for them. For
a distance of fifty miles from Baudette
and the Rainy river west to Warroad

ton, Pitt, Swift and Roosevelt were
destroyed.

weather is coming on. Eight hundred
refugees were taken to- International

by the United States in a few hours.
In the meantime the Canadian people
are feeding the sufferers. The women

the village of Lorrette, the homes of
two settlers have been destroyed and
the occupants had to flee to save their
lives.
There is wall of fire extending
across the prairie for eight miles at
that point.
Every effort is being made to rescue
those in the fire zone. The railroads
are doing great part III this work of
mercy. All the women and children
are being hastened to places of 1alety
on special trains. and other trains are
being held at all the stations to take
away the men who remained to fight
the fire in case it is seen to be impos-
sible to prevent the blaze from reach

FOREST FIRES LEAVE
TRAIL OF DEAD IN WAKE.

RAINY RIVER. Ont, Oct. 1o.-The
terrible results of the Friday, Saturday
and Sunday forest fires are beginning
to be realized by the disheartened and
homeless thousands. Bodies found
along the railway track three miles
west of Baudette were brought here to-
day. There was not a particle of cloth
ing left on any of them save parts of
shoes. The bodies had the appearance
of having been baked in red-hot oven.
Searching parties were organized to-
day and went south to relieve suffer-
ing and pick up the dead
1t will be days before all the dead
can be reached owing to the great
trees which have fallen over the roads.
These will have to be chopped away
before wagons can get through.

are filled with refugees, who are

Many settlers got into the rapid
river and saved themselves by wadng
in the water, although their faces were
blistered by the heat. Several bodies
which are probably those of the Roulin
family were found in a clearing in the
woods.
The fire still threatens the few houses
along the river in old Baudette. The
Engler Company's men gave up hope
of saving their property two mics down
the river, and sent all of their horses
to place of safety. This mill is valued
at $250,000, and was only completed last

FACTORY MANAGER HELD
ON CHARGE OF FRAUD.
Stockholders of w. P. Mes Co.
Accuse Charles A. CumminS.

The case of Mrs Carry Mes, of
Belmont avenue, against Charles A.
Cummins, general manager of the Will
lam P. Mes Company, was heard again
in the First Criminal Court today, and
the defendant was released under $4,000
bail for the grand jury. The charge
against Cummins is falsifying the ac-
counts and statements of the company
and defrauding the complainant out of
several thousand dollars.
On the witness stand Mrs. Mes testi-
fled that a large interest in the COM
pany had been left to her by her hus-
band, William P. Mes. For some time,
she says, she has failed to receive divi-
dends, and when she asked for a rea-
son Cummins is said to have claimed
that the company was losing money
He produced statements showing that
the assets were about $4,000 Investi-
cation, it is alleged, shows that the as
sets are at present worth about $4,000
Former Judge Marrow, of Belvidere,
who Is a stockholder, also testified. He
claimed that on seeing the brief state
ment of the companys assets he had
demanded of Cummins the complete in
ventory. This shows the company's as
setsrte be about $4,000, instead Of
500, 600
Counsel for Cummins admitted that
the statements had been padded. but
declared that to be a common occur
renee among corporations. He said
Cummins had no intention of defraud-
ing anybody and did no harm. He
asked that his client be paroled or that
q light bail bond be fixed.
The motion was denied.
Judge Morrow further said that he
had indorsed about $1,000 worth of notes
for the company, AMI in view of the
present condition of affairs the COM
pany would be unable to take care of
them, thus making him responsible.
