Michigan's Danger Lessens

Detroit, July 13.-Reports received to- night from both the Lake Huron shore and the Michigan Central railroad dis tricts of northern Michigan indicate that for the present, unless the winds freshen the greatest danger from fires is over The district between Alpena and Cheboy- gan has plenty of smoldering forest fires, but no losses have been reported Millersburg tower and Onaway are safe
 Relief of Oncoda and Au Sable is now a simple matter as scarcely 300 people re- main near the stricken towns. These are all being sheltered in military tents and have plentiful supply of food for the present The principal demand for re- lief is at the Tawases, where at least 50C refuges are quartered.
 The town of Waters, which last night apparently was doomed, has been saved by the fire departments of Bay City and Gaylord. The Stepuhens Lumber com pany's loss at Waters is about s300,000 at the village and probably as much more in standing timber.
 Every town along the Michigan Gen. tral today reported fires in the woods. but that they were making no headway Many farmers, however. have lost their homes, barns and crops.
 The loss to date around Crawling alone is estimated at $100,000. Lumber losses in Otsego, Montmorenci, Oscoda and Che boygan counties will total more than $1,000000.
 First Correct Account
 Eugene A. Thomson. Oscoda business man and fire chief, who last night brought party of refugees to Detroit from the burned towns of Au Sable and Oscoda, furnished the first correct story which has come out of the fire-swept dis trict.
 "The first serious fire on the outskirts of the town was discovered Sunday, and crew fought it until it was under con trol," he said Monday nothing was done and on Tuesday aided by high winds, it burst out again with great fury.
 The first alarm in Oscoda came in al o'clock from private house. President Cowley and myself procured pails from the Loud company's office to fight the flames that had spread to the Catholic cemetery. The next alarm came in from the Au Sable township slab piles. Jns about the time the hose was working well, we got an alarm from the village of Oscoda. The first to go was the Oscods and Au Sable Canning factory, and in few minutes the fire was general, break ing out northeast, south and west all a once.
 Our equipment of three hose carts ant ss volunteers fought for an hour and half with a good water supply. Then the flames, reaching tn pumping station, 1t went out of com mission. A few inhabitants, anon, them myself and my father and moth CT, went to the steamer Niko, Can tain Meyers, which was lying at m. own dock. bt
