OATES REPORTS
ON FIRE LOSSES
STATE GAME WARDEN SAYS 177,,
472 ACRES WE'RE BURNED
AND LOSSES WE'RE
s3,567, ,4s3.

How great was the damage done by
the forest fires in Michigan in the year
1911 can scarcely be estimated. Fig
ures cannot tell the ultimate loss
through the destruction of forest,
which perhaps can never be replaced. !.
nor can figures tell the loss to future
generations through the burning over
of those lands upon which the young
forest was just beginning to grow.
William r. Oates, state game fish
and forest warden, has just sent out
his report of the destruction wrought,
80 near as Il is possible to detail it
in figures. That report shows that a
total of 177472 acres of land were
burned over last year and the estimat-
ed damage done was 1885,, ,4SS.6s. This
acreage was divided as follows:
Hardwood lands. 1925 acres
Meadow lands. 1926 acres
Plains. slashlngs, 121726 acres.
Swamp lands, 2S,235 acres,
Iosco Tremendous Loser.
Iosco county suffered most heavily;
in fact. the great bulk of the money
damage was done there. where the
flames ragged so nercely and rendered
homeless SO many persons. In this
county alone the money damage done
is estimated at $3.O03,375. Here mills,
stores. houses, docks and everything
else went when whole villages were
wiped off the map of Michigan in a
few hours time.
In many other counties the damage
ran high. but the bulk of the money
lost was confined To the forest and TO
some poor settlers little cabin of no
great value
The loss in Houghton. Barasa. ke-
weenaw and Ontonagon counties was
very small, aggregating only $4,000.

WOMAN LYNCHED IN EFFIGY.
Neighborhood Row Ends In Court, but
Defendants Are Discharged.

Allentown. Pa, April 3O.-Squire
John Brophy. who deals out justice in
Hanover township, on the outskirts of
this city. sustained the right of WON
en- to hang a neighbor in effigy.
Following quarrel in which mum
ber of families were arrayed against
Mrs. Mary Brown, the latter was theo-
retically hung from a tree in a con
spicuOus place. The stuffed image ere,
ated a sensation and was permitted to
hang nearly a day before it was cut
down.
Mrs. Brown said the straw woman
did not bear the least resemblance to
her, but she wouldn't stand for being
lynched, even by proxy, so she had
warrants issued for a dozen Of her
neighbors.
Following a lively hearing, in which
the women nearly came to blows,
Squire Brophy said he could not find
anything In the statutes to prevent
lynchings in efflgy and not only die,
charged the defendants. but put the
costs on the prosecutrix.
