towns of Oscoda and Au Sable, only a

Loss Of Life Not Confirmed.
The destruction of the twin villages
Of Au Sable and Oscoda, probably due
to forest fires, and the $1,000 fire at
Alpena, which was not due to this
cause, gave rise today to exaggerated
reports Of heavy damage and pos
sible loss Of life from forest fires in the
northern counties Of the southern pen
insula of Michigan.
Reports of loss Of life at Au Sable
and Oscoda were persistent last night
and today, but it was impossible to
confirm them. An unconarmed report
reached Detroit that the burned bodies
Of three men and woman were found
at Au Sable today.

At Hillersburg thirty-one houses

by a volunteer committee, was des-
patched to the two cities, as about 1900
people remain around the ash heaps
that were once their homes, having
had nothing to eat since yesterday
noon. The fire, under the influence OF
a hfty-mile wind, spread with such
rapidity that men and women dashed
from their houses, dropping such
bundles Of valuables and clothing as
they had started to pack. The fire
originated in slab yard in Oscoda.
