More Thrilling Experiences. i’

the lake‘remained. The bank" shelved off
very steep all along and ofleredfanfavenue

two had an encounter a little laterwith a
big black bearthat barred their passage
and would under ordinary circumstances
have annihilated both man @119 cur.
Bruin, who was squatted in the Water, did
not even deign to notice them, but sim-
ply moved aside about six inches, so that
they could pass, and Patrick doubts if the
dog realized that the bear was there} ’They
finally reached a space where the road

opened out from the lake and here met 21 '

homesteaders and their families, who had
been flgeing through, the blinding smoke
ahead of the flames. All the members of.
the party threw themselves into thdlake
and remained there until the flames had
passed over. None was seriously injured,

but all were so exhausted as to preclude
the possibility of going farther that night.

They laid on the banks of the lake until
morning and then started back overthe
read they had come, in the direction of
Sandstone Junction. Patrick has not seen
or heard of them since. Eleven of the set

tlers, one a-woman with a baby 5 weeks
old,.got into an old canoe and paddled out
into the lake, only to be destroyed by wa-'
ter after escaping from the flames. The
waves nearly filled the boat several times,

and the baby was frequently held aloft to
keep it from drowning in the boat. The
frail craft drifted ashore in the early
morning over a mile from the camp.

Patrick, after passing an awful night full
of anxious forebodings, was able to reach
his family, overjoyed at finding them un-

harmed.
A Sad Tale. .

Just inside the doorway of the hospital .

sat a tearful and woebegone woman,
while at her side, with a bandage around
his forehead, stood a bewhiskercd man, to
whom the woman was listening with rapt
attention. The man was M. A. Green-
field and the woman Mrs. Thomas Hen-
derson. The tale he told was the saddest
she had ever board. Those who stood by
groaned in sympathy with, her, for she
was hearing the sad fate of her boys—14
and 16 years of age—who had perished in
the flames at Green field’s farm, five miles
from Hinckley. The boys, with their fa-
ther, were cutting a road through from
the Duluth railroad toward Greenfield,
when the fire forced them out. They
reached his place, and with his family
took refuge in the cellar. One of them,
when the flames enveloped the house, nev-
er got out,~ and the other perished in a
culvert, where he had taken shelter. Mr.
Greenfield's five children; found a fiery
grave in the cellar, and his wife. although
still alive, is in the hospital and so badly
burned as to be beyond hope. Miss Ham-
‘ mend of Hinckley, who occupies a bed
near her, is in a similar condition. Mr.
Albright, the bookkceepr of the Brennan
Lumber. company, was with Secretary
Hart while the registry of those needing
relief progressed and rendered valuable
assistance in identifying those who ap-
plied for relief.

_ - Relief'Measures Proposed.

ST. PAUL, ‘Sept. 5.—Elaborate relief ar-
rangements ’ are being carried out by the
people 'of this city and every town and
city in the northwest for the sufferers by
the great forest fires. The relief train that
left here had a “pick up” car in which to
store such supplies as might be ready at
the various stations along the road, and

'the‘ car Was, filled long before PineCity

was reached. Various commercial bodies,
and all churches have promptly seconded
all efforts of the authorities.

‘At ameeting here of all interested in
the relief measures it was decided to call
in the governor to appoint a central com-
mittee to have general oversight of relief
and the distribution of all donations.
Anything sent to Governor Nelson or
Mayer Smith will be promptly forward-
ed. Governor Nelson has issued a procla-
mation appealing for contributions for the

relief of the fire stricken localities and ap~

pointing as a committee to receive and
disburse the same C. A. Pillsbury, Min-

The American Express company
has announced that it will carry free any

«in '« northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The railroads are getting in shape as rap-
idly as possible. The employees of St.-
Paul and Duluth, the Eastern Minnesota,
the Omaha and the Northern Pacific com-
panies have been busy repairing roadways,
scheduling trains to meet emergencies,
cenncCting lost wires and carrying provi-
sions for sufferers. The Wisconsin Cen-
tral,‘ which is but slightly aflected, has
vbiuntarily agreed to transport free of
charge provisions to all points on its line
where relief is sent.

Many Narrow Escapes.

IRON MOUXTAIN, Mich, Sept. 5.—-In the
Ontonagan division of the Chicago, Mile
waukee and St. Paul road trustworthy es-
timates place the number of feet of pine
scorched at 200,000,000, which will have
to be'made into lumber at once or prove a
total loss. Trains are operated with great
difliculty and danger, the flames having
attacked the road bed and warped the rails.
The fires seem to be abating. Homestead-
ers are arriving here constantly with
thrilling tales of narrow escapes, having
lost everything but the clothing on their
backs.

Many of the best tracts of pine in this
locality are owned by nonlogging capital-
ists who have withdrawn them from the
market and are holding them as ' an in-
vestment, realizing that pine ‘timber is
increasing rapidly in value:,‘ Agents for
these lands claim that the fires are started
for the purpose of forcing the pine into

more hundreds of men than were contem-
plated’alid a great increase over the wages
paid in'the pinerics last season. "

Wdodsmen familiar with the'te'tritory

coiinties of Anson, Ontonagon and Peer-

THE ENGINEEB’S STORY.

 

A Grppliic Account of Scenes In the 111
., Fat-ed Town of Hlncklcy.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 5.—Engi~
neer William Best of the original rescuing
passenger train on the Eastern Minnesota
says that he felt in as serious 3 frame of
mind last Saturday afternoon as it would
be possible under any circumstances.

“We were brought face to face with
death,” he said, "and that is all there was
of it. If a man could keep his head un-
der the trying circumstances of that
dreadful holocaust, he need not fear for
Soon after
leaving Superior I had to light the head-
light, owing to the dense smoke, which
The heat as we
approached Hinckley increased. I expected
that. when we reached that point we
would get in the open and escape the
smoke. My surprise was great, therefore,
when we found the fire , right upon the
town. It took but a glance to see that the
town was doomed. The wind blew with
great velocity, and the flames fairly leaped
through the air. The people, taken by
surprise, were helpless. The coming fire
seemed more like a stroke of lightning.

“Almost in an an instant the town was
swept by billows of flames. We could not
pass Hinckley, and there was no use to
look for orders, for communication was
cut 03. It was one of those cases where
men have to make up their minds in an
instant what is to be done and do it with-
out hesitation. Here were hundreds of
panic stricken people who were deemed if
they were not instantly rescued. On the
other hand, safety of the train and its
passengers lay in prompt retreat. To stay
and rescue as many as we could was our
duty, of course, but the great question,
and upon it hung the livas of many hun-
dreds, was, How long dare we wait? Ed
Barry was there with N o. 23 in charge of
the engine, and W. D. Campbell, the con-
ductor, as plucky and brave fellows as
ever passed a mile post. We knew we
were safe in making time, for we could
return on No. 23's time, and as this train
had the right of way we ‘knew that no
other train would dare to stay on the main
line without orders if moving south. We
hastily coupled a portion of Campbell's
freight train with the engine ahead on
to the rear of our train. The‘flame pur-
sued people rushed toward our train and
piled into the cars. Some of them were
aged, and then there Were the women and
children who had to be helped aboard. We
had to shift the positiOn of the train sev-
eral times to prevent it from taking fire.
We were all breathing fire as it was. We
saw many sights that would have filled
us with horror under other circumstances,
but there was horror everywhere. We saw
people fall down‘ overcome by the heat
and smoke. I saw mothers with their
babes make a last despairing effort to
shelter their helpless charges. It was a
sight to make men weep, let alone angels.
We saw people surrOunded by fire, but it
is impossible to describe it. ”

\VISCONSIN TOWNS SAVED.

 

Flames Checked by Rain—One Cause of
. the Conflagrations.

ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. 5.—The anxiety
felt at Ashland for the safety of northern ‘
Wisconsin towns is somewhat assuaged by
reports of rain at nearly every town about
which the fires have been burning. Ques-
tions sent from Ashland have brought
back many responses regarding the rain,
which has to a great extent checked the
flames. From Ironwood came the follow-
ing response: “This city is in no danger
from forest fires. Rain fell this afternoon
for nearly two hours. Yesterday the fires
crept up over the Gogebic range around
the Norris mine and were advancing on
the city from that direction.”

In explanation of the fires a railroad
official said that it was owing tothe great
amount of brush and rubbish left by the
rapid construction of the railroads and
also created in logging. No precautions
had been taken to clear up the stuff and
burn it. A vast amount of territory
burned over by the fires this year had not
been visited by fires in years before, and
the accumulation of dead material had
furnished such foodr-for flames that it will
take days of rain to extinguish them thor-
oughly. Every town damaged by fire has
been remarkably negligent in (the matter
of clearing up around the suburbs.
Stumps and brush heaps have been left
along the tracks and in vacant lots.

An unknown steamer and consort have
gone ashore in the dense smoke on Send
island, about 50 miles from here. N o in-
formation can be learned cencerning their
identity. The tug Britain left today to
go to their rescue.

about two-thirds belong to the Diamond

the Nestor estate. This timber is not all
destroyed, but the rest will have to be
cut this year to save-it from worms. This
, fact has already operated to raise wages of
experienced loggers about one-fourth and
will make this season a very active one in
the'woods.

will materially check the forest fires and
in general will put the whole section out

Forest Fires Laying Farms Waste In Chau-
tauqua and Eric Counties. '
BUFFALO, Sept. 5.-—Forest fires are
raging in western New York. In Chau-
tauqua county the flames are swaeping
through , meadows, woods and farms.
. Pickets are posted, but the velocity of the
fire is such that the ‘families have barely
time to escape before their property is en-
veloped in flames.
Near Falconer the farmers have organ-
ized a bucket brigade, but notwithstand-
4 ing this several farms have been laid
waste. In liric county, near Windom, a
threatening forest fire is raging. It has
spread withfrightful rapidity, and farmers
have turnmi out in a body to plow the
surrounding land to check the progress of
the flames. The weather today is extreme-
ly hot and sultry, with no sign of rain.

Has already warned us of the coming cold weather,when ,
the nights Will be long and chilly. That is the reason
why we have bought a. great many Blankets so early, as
we can buy them at auction prices every August, and
sell them to our customers at about 10 per cent. lower
than We can a. month later. Look at the prices. 10-4
Blankets, three different borders, at the lowest price a
Blanket was ever sold at, 490 a pair. 10-4, 11-4 ‘and
12-4: Wool Blankets, from $1.95 to $9.00 a pair. Look ‘
at them and you will say they are the best values you

ever saw.

Boys are now about tired of baseball and must get
ready for school. We have knee pants for them at 25c‘
and 4.90 a. pair. Made of good wearing cloth; ust the
thing for school wear. Swiss embroidered

We have a. great bargain in Swiss Embroidered Ladies

Handkerchiefs that costjbflc to import. We shall \ sell
them at 250 each. This is the best handkerchief, ever

offered in Nor walk at the price.
