YOUNG MEN HELD
 BUT RELEASED Texarkana Boys Were Thought to Have Caused Death of Brakeman
 Chisenhall
HELD AT STUTTGART
Had no Connection With Mishap- Boarded Train at Pine Bluff
 Tuesday Night.

Following the death of l.. c. Chisenhall, the Cotton Belt brakeman whose mangled body was found on the Cotton Belt tracks just outside of the shop yards here Tuesday night, Henry Afford and James Martins on, two young white boys, both of Texar- kama, were taken from northbound freight train No. 16, at Stuttgart, Tuesday night. Messages had been sent out from this city requesting officers to watch out for two tramps on No. 16, which was the train that killed Chisenhall. K
 The city marshall at Stuttgart iseached the train when it arrived there and found the two young men hidden away in the train. An in- vestigation revealed the fact that they were not connected with Chisen- halls death, as they knew nothing of brakeman being killed, and were so securely hidden Oil the train that none of thle train crew knew they were riding. Special Agent Ed Cheek, of the Cotton Belt service re- ceived a message Eere last night stating that the young men could not be held on a charge of causing Chisenhall's death.
 The two young men are reported to have boarded the freight in the Vocal yah Is. They were on their way to Leslie, Ark, to work in the timber business. Employees of the shops here, who saw the young men board the train, told the officers of it after Chisenhall's death had been This is what gave strength to the report that Chisenhall had been hurled between the cars by tramps. 4 .t.

 10 THE CHARGE Judge Bordwell Denies Application to Quash Tn dictnents Against Alleg-

WILL BE ARRAIGNED
Says Defense Has no Further Teach. nieal Grounds and That Indict.
 ments are Valid.

Los Angeles, July 12.-Pieas of not guilty b the charge of dynamiting the newspaper plant at First street and Broadway on October 1, 1910, in which disaster nineteen men lost their lives, was entered by John B.. McNamara anr James B. McNamara in Superior Judge Walter Bordwell's court this afternoon.
 nhts pleas followed closely upon the denial of Judge Bordwell on the motion of the attorneys for the de- fense to quash the indictments on thilty-eight separate grounds. Four days were taken up with arguments by the defense and prosecution.
 Judge Bordwell held that the in- dictments are valid in every respect and that they are not subject to any further attack on technicalities. The defense waived all possible grounds for future attack on the indictments when the two McNamafas, actlng. up- on the request of their attorneys, en- tered pleas of not guilty to each of the nineteen indictments as they were read to the two defendants by Assistant District Attorney Ford.
 The dates of the trial of the two accused men will be set Friday mOrn- ing at 10 o'clock by Judge Bordwell. The prosecution, it is understood, will move the court to set the date as early as possible, while the de- fense will ask the court to put OH the trial until the latter part of this year or early in 1912. The reasons for wanting this delay was not ex- plained by any one connected w1oh the defense.

FOREST FIRES
 STILL SPRfAD|NG Many Lives Lost ill Michi gan and Millions in Dam age Results From the
 Flames
wv TOWNS FIRED
Bay City Sends Food to Sufferers and Detroit Will Send Clothing
 Militia Ordered Out.

Detroit Mich, July 12.-The forest fires in Northern Michigan are still spreading tonight, but not nearly as rapidly as yesterday owing to the dying down of the wind.
 The first refugees from Oscoda and Au Sable arrived in Detroit this af- ternoon. They escaped from their burning cities on a steamer, which was afire when it left it's docks Some definite estimates of loss of life now are made In the two cities there are at least 20 known dead Many others are missing. The loss in those two cities alone is $2000,OO0.
 The towns latest to be attacked is Waters, which is near Roscommon Appeals for help were sent out at o'clock tonight and shortly after wards communication was lost. Dis patches from Frederic, seven miles away. say that the town must be en- tirely in flames for the light from the fire is as bright as though it was only across the street. The last words from the town was that all the lumber yards were afire.
 Relief trains were started from Crawling and Gaylord immediately An Au Sable dispatch, received short ly after 8 o'clock tonight, says that about 100 residents remained in that city but that every business build ing was destroyed. More than 2,000 are homeless. A general appeal has been sent to the people of the state for help. Bay City Is supplying food and will be able to do so for several days. Tn Detroit preparations are being made to send wearing apparel and other necessities.
 lumber camp near Crawling was burned late this afternoon and one man is reported dead. Orders were issued today for three companies of
  trict. There is no need of martial law, however. The soldiers will be used only for making tented abodes for the homeless and for such other rescue work as may be necessary.
 The fires now have attacked twelve counties through not covering any of them completely. They have brok- en out ill widelf separated localities. The intense heat of the last month has made the woods so dry that the slightest carelessness in the lumber camps by woodmen, will start fires that cannot be controlled. The counties which have been affected are Emmett, Sheyboygan, Presque- isle, Otsego, Mont Morency, Alpena Alcona, Oscoda, Crawford, Roscom- mon, Ogemam and Iosco.
