CiMCAiio, Sept. 3. —Reports from tho portions of Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin in which tho forest, tires aro now raging show that the condition of affairs there is inoro than terrible. Tho loss of property, at a low estimate, has already reached

$12,-

not including the stand­

ing timber that has been destroyed. Hut even worse is the loss of life which, it is feared, will reach as high as 1,000. Nearly 400 cases of persons huving perished have already been received, while the reports as they continue to come in are increasing1 the list. The best information is that about twenty towns have already been destroyed, driving thousands of families from their homes in the face of flames. orat Suffering I» Kt llinekley.

The worst suffering is reported from Hinckley, Minn., and vicinity. The estimate of the loss of life there and in the surrounding towns is being increased by every report. It is said that strewn along on one street of II ncklev the bodies of twentvnine victims were found. while in another spot the charred and unrecognizable remains of 10 persons were counted. A low estimated of the fatalities in that town alone are now placed at :i00 persons. Scores of others were discovered severely injured, while the list of missing was in the hundreds. It is believed that at least 100 victims are on the farms and clearings throughout the burnt district. The loss of life in and about Hinckley, Sandstone, l'okegama, Skunk Lake and Mission Creek will not be known for weeks, if ever. The survivors have been taken to fine City, whore physicians cared for the injured, while relief trains from DuluUi, Minneapolis and St. I'aul carried in tents, clothing, food and everything necessary to cover the wants of the suffering survivors. Very few persons are left in Hinckley.

TOWIIH IN LIANGER.

Good news came Sunday night that the town of Washburn, Wis., across the bay from Ashland, had finally been saved, lfut other reports aro that the flames elsewhere are increasing their fury, and are now advancing into tho vast forests east of Ashland and towards the cities in the iron belt, leading to Marquette. Many other towns were reported in danger late Sunday night. Cadott, near Chippewa Falls. Wis., was among them. The town is surrounded by llames, and the people of Chippewa Falls had gono to the rescue with steamers.

Supplies for SuffcrerK.

The extent of the sufferingcan hardly be described, but already the hand of charity Is at work, and the cities of the three states are sending aid to the sufferers. Hut railroads have been injured by the fires, and in many cases traffic has been entirely suspended, thus preventing the starting out of relief expeditions. There seems no hope for a cessation of the progress of the llaiues save an end of the great drought. No such hope is h.'ld out, for while much-needed rain is promised for other points "dry and fair" is the prediction for the burning districts by the weather bureau.

The Loss of I.lfo.

I'p to last reports the estimates of the lives lost in the fires at different points in the two states are as given in the following list, and it is feared the list is far below the actual destruction of liuman life: HI noli ley.

Destruction of Hinckley.

V\ S

CITV,

Minn., Sept.

8.—fl

he town

of Hinckley has been wiped out by fire and not less than 200 people perished in the llames. The walls of tlu schoolhouse, the iron fence about the town hall property, the bank vault and o.ie absolutely uninjured outhouse are all that is left to mark the site where on Satur* day stood a sore of st re buildings aid a dozen times as many dwellinghouses. The story of the catastrophe is a short one. The town was built of wood. The schoolhouse erected last year at a cost of SI0,000 and one-half the Duluth roundhouse were the only brick structures in the city.

Fire Leapt Into tho Town.

About 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon the lire literally jumped Into the town. Its approach was not gradual, it did not eat its way along, devouring everything in its path, but cainc in liugli

leaps, as if to overtake everything fleeing before it, and then burned back at its leisure. It la described by those who witnessed Its onward progress as if it woro forced along by ovclones of its own generation.

The Are first struck Hinckley ou the east side of tho Duluth track and the brave Are-fighters for the first time gave up the unequal battle and, already too late in many Instances, turned their attention to tlioir personal safety, Tho Eastern Minnesota train from tho south had just come in and tho people of the panicstricken olty flocked to It for safety. A number of box cars were coupled on and filled and covered with men, women and children. Some wore bareheaded, some were coatless, some few clutched a pitiful bundle of the more precious of their portable possessions. Families were separated. Children Joined the throng and left parents. In all there was a motley crowd of about 430or more people. The train pulled out just ahead of the fire and succeeded In ultimately reaching Duluth.

Through a Sen of Flame.

About the same time the accoinmodation on the Hinckley & St. Cloud branch left for the latter place with about twenty-five passengers. Its path lay directly across the path of tho firo and their situation speedily became desperate. The ties were burning, the rails were warping, and the trestles were sagging under the train. The smoke had increased so that the engineer was helpless. lie could not see the train behind him. Huruing trees lay across the track and were being tossed aside by the engine. Suddenly the track gave way arid the train toppled off to ono side. No one was injured, and they pressed to l'okegama station, a few rods ahead. They succeeded in reaching the clearing

of Sew Brighton, who had come up to look after his brother. Fato of Thouc Loft llehind.

The people who Were left in the city were in what seemed to be an almost hopeiess condition. Egress by the only means of transportation that could hope to distance the swiftly advancing flames was out of the question. Horses were harnessed to buggies and wagons. Women and children were hurriedly loaded hi some cases attempts were made to carry out' sonio household goods, but lu most in-1 stances the people had no thought for augnt but their lives. Probably 200 of them left town on foot or in vehicles, I plunging into the woods to the north. across the Grindstone river, which skirts the town on the north. They were literally flying before the pursuing demon of fire. Over the hill that rises beyond the Grindstone is a swamp, and to this most of the people with teams headed, but it proved no protection. The fire gave them no opportunity to go farther. Some abandoned their teams and ran into the lower portions of the morass, but the fire sought them out. Not one was left to tell the tale, and there, in a space of little more than four or five acr.es, were counted over 180 corpses. There were many families of five, six and seven, and there they lay, the men generally a little in advance, the mother surrounded by her little ones, cut off by the most horrible of deaths.

Mass of C'hnrred Kciimi n*.

Nearly all the bodies were nude, the fire having burned every vestige of their clothing and blackened and charred many of the corpses beyond recognition, and whole families were wiped out as they were and some of the bodies completely incinerated. Identification is absolutely out of the question. Those who fled to the north on foot followed the Duluth track, and so rapid was the progress of the llames that many of them were actually burned as they lied, falling on the right of way for a distance of 8 miles or more. Nearly thirty bodies were recovered along here.

S01116 Wore Drowned.

Just cast of the city limits of Hinckley is an immense gravel pit. covering at least ten acres. In its center was a pool of stagnant water 3 feet in depth. Into this rushed many citizens. There were probably a hundred of them, and in addition to the human beings quite a number of domestic animals, horses, cows, oxen, pigs, ohlckens, eto., sought safety here. It was really the safest place about Hinckley. The people went In here as the eastern train pulled out a few minutes after 4 o'clock and here they remained until .after ox, while the smoke and flames from the burning city rolled over their heads. They dashed water over each other and covered their heads with cloths to prevent suffocation. One unknown man succumbed to the smoke or the terrible strain and fell in the water and was drowned.

Others of the citizens sought refuge in the Urindstone river, under the abuttments of the two railway bridges and the foot bridge. The exact number cannot be known, as thev were scattered along a considerable stretch of the little stream. That many escaped and some were drowned is well known. Mrs. Martin Martinson and her four flaxenhaired little babes were taken from the water's edge Saturday morning, as pitiful a sight as man's eye ever witnessed. They were not touched by flames, but suffered the more merciful death by water.

Ilitiokloy Dontrnyeri.

In the meantime Hinckley was l-urn-iiig*. The Haines leaped from buildingto building with almost the rapidity of an electric spark. Everything was tinder dry. There was not even one brick wall to stay for a moment the work of destruction, and all went up in smoke. About two hundred and fifty dwellings with all their household treasures, twenty stores and all their stocks of goods, including the Immense general establishment of the Ilrennau Lumber company, two hotels, the Central and Morrison the railway

depots, and the new brick school, the town hall, the Duluth roundhoii.se, the thre, bridges and at last the plant of the I'.rennan Lumber company, sawmill. planing mill stables, lumber yard and all. This institution was the pride of Hinckley, and the backbone of its prosperity.

Collecting: tli« Dead.

As night closed in the people began to come out from their hiding places and made their way over the hot embers of their city. They were absolutely da/.ed by the catastrophe and the night was spent in an endeavor to find relatives or ascertain their whereabouts. When tho morning broke a few energetic spirits began to organize the work for the recovery of the bodies. The searchers were divided Into parties, ltctween the rivernnd Skunk lake forty-one were found. Citizen volunteers harnessed up the available vehicles saved in the gravel pit and went out to the swamp across the Grindstone. Tlicv brought in ninety six bodies, which were' carried out to the desolate burying ground I mile east of town. There was neither time nor opportunity to observe the sacred formalities usually surrounding death. The excitement of the occasion, the horrible experience through which the living had passed, and the more horrible form in which death had come to the lost had temporarily blunted the finer sensibilities and the dead were heaped high on tho wagons and laid in piles in the cemetery. The ninety-six bodies brought into this point were examined by many of the surviving residents of Hinckley, and but four could be identified. Those who brought in the bodies from the swamp reported that there were at learst thirty-five other bodies out there.

Out on the government road to the east was found the Best family of six persons—father, mother and four children. Hest was a prosperous farmer living just out of town. Here, also, were recovered tho bodies of the three unfortunate creatures who lived at the stockade.

Near Skunk lake was found a family consisting of father, mother and seven children. Of another family of which there were live children only the father escaped. There was a settlement of about thirty people near this lake and but two are known to be alive.

In the woods north of town was found a team of magnificent gray horses llarnesed to ihe remains of a burned wagon. 1'uder the wagon were the bodies of a woman and three children, but the horses were not harmed in the least and were ln-ouglit back into town.

Tiie total loss of life will never be definitely known. There were scattered through the woods settlers, clearings and lumber camps, with their watchmen, and many people were undoubtedly Intftied whose bodies were completely destroyed and will never be found.

I,OH# of Life Ht SumNtono.

From Sandstone comes appalling reports. The town has been almost completely destroyed, and fifty or sixty persons have been burned to death. Forty-seven charred bodies have be,en found. The survivors aro suffering greatly for food and shelter. The town of Partridge, across the river, was also burned.

LOAH«* t-U»c here.

In addition to forty-seven bodies at Sandstone there are twenty at Kettle River Junction. OnfTfamily is living in a root lioy.se and the father Is missing. All the settlers In the vicinity are probably burned to death. O'Neiil Bros, had twelve camps in the woods near Sandstone and all these are burned. Most of the inmates, however, are believed to have escaped with their lives.

There are about eleven homeless families at Mission Creek, but they have provisions for about twenty-four hours, llrook I'arlt, 2 miles west of Hinckley, is burned, and there are about 123 people there, many of whom are in need of immediate relief.

TOOK DKSJ'KRATE CHANCKF). PINE CITY, Minn., Sept. 8.—The St. I'aul & Duluth train No. 4, south bound with eighty passengers, ran into Hinckley at 2 o'olock Saturday afternoon and proceeded thenoe to Mission Creek, 8 miles further south, only to find that village In ashes. Conductor Sullivan Issued immediate orders to his crew to back into Hinckley, but before the train, running at 20 miles an hour, eouId reach Hinckley the place was In fia.nes. Tho train stopped at tho dopot ono fatal minute, during which the woodwork of the engine and tho baggage oar caught fire. The train quickly resumed its baokward journey toward Duluth, and the very motion of tho oars fanned the flames to a fury and they soon enveloped the sleepers, passenger coaches and the smoker.-,-..-

A Train on Fire.

While the train was stopping at Hinckley nearly 200 panio-strlcken people of the place rushed upon the platforms and into the cars. When they discovered the train on fire they began to moan, shout and pray, whioh, with the awful roar of the flames, made a horrible picture.

A mile out of lllnckley people on tho platforms, rendered frantio lunatlos by the heat and their terror, began to jump from the cars and plunge into streams, Into sand heaps or into the smoke-encompassed forest. A little farther on those In the cars, stifled with smoke, begau to smash the windows of the coaches In a frantic attempt to get a breath of fresh air. Driven baok by the flames eating their way up the sides of the freshly varnished ooaohea, they stood In baffled amazemont for a moment, when dozens of them in •hoer desperation tumbled themselves out through the open spaces to the ground below, some being Instantly killed by the fall and others lingering in the horrible heat and smoke until suffocated.

Took Kefuffa lu the Lake.

In spite of the fact that the train was on fire from engine to rear end the crew bravely stood at their posts and ran t*e train back 0 miles to Skunk luke, where tho passengers rushed out and into the water. Some of them were In such a state of exhaustion that they were unable to walk, and half a dozen were entirely unconscious. All of these latter were rolled in the mud and laid on their backs just far enough out luto the lake to keep the water from miming into their mouths.

All around the lake the forests were roaring like the furnace of an Imaginary 1,000,000 horse-power engine. Many of the people in the water stood and offered prayers in aloud voice for deliverenco. The scene was one of the most remarkable ever wituessed.

Ilcro of the Throttle.

Engineer James Root, who had so bravely piloted the train through that awful 0 miles of fire, was found to bo fatally burned. He stood faithfully at his post with his clothes afire, and manfully battled to save the lives of those on his train.

Conductor Sullivan, cool and collected all through the awful journey, after It was all over, became a raving maniac. A little later he was put aboard a special and taken to a Duluth hospital.

CAl'RE or THE I.YNCIIINO. NASHVII.I.K, Tenn., Sept. 8. —A mob of armed and masked farmers intercepted an ofHcer on his way to Millington with six negro prisoners at 11 o'clock Filday night and shot tho handcuffed prisoners dead in the wagon in which they were being hauled to jail for trial.

Recently there have been a number of fires in the vicinity of MUlington under such circumstances as to indicate that they were the work of an organized gang of Incendiaries. Cotton gins, numerous barns and other outhouses, and oua or two dwellings have been burned and tho diabolical work culmlnatod in the destruction of the buildings ou the fair grounds at MUlington. Several negroes were charged with complicitycln these deeds of arson, and yesterday evening Deputy Sheriff Richardson arrested Dan Hawkins, Olenn White, Warner Williams, John Hughes, Ed Hall and Robert Haines, all colored, on warrants charging them with the crime.

Slaughtered ou the \V»y.

The arrests wore made at Keevllle, which is a station on the Chesapeake & Ohio, below Mlllington. The prisoners were to have had a preliminary hearing before a justice of the peaco at Millington. The deputy and ono guard, a white man named Atkins, started for that point with the prisoners, who were chained together in a wagon. As the party neured Lig creek bridge, a very lonely spot in a dense forest and cane brake, uluiost a jungle, a voice from out the thicket was heard to say: "Turn to the right —the bridge is down."

The deputy, who was on horseback, ordered Atkins, who drove the wagon containing the prisoners, to turn luto a narrow road leading to the forks. As they did so a baud of about fifty armed men appeared and demanded the prisoners. The deputy remonstrated with those who seemed to be tho leaders of tho mob and protested against any violence, but to no purpose. While the offloer was being held under cover of revolvers the rest of the mob drew their weapons and opened a murderous fusllade on the defenseless prisoners.

No Thought of Merey.

One of the prisoners, Ha wkins, threw his arms about the white driver, imploring protection, when one of tho mob, placing a revolver close to liia head, blew tho top of nis skull off.

The men were not masked, but neither the deputy nor tho driver, Atkins, recognized any of them. None of them lives in that community, and it was quite dark where the murderous work was done.

Deputy Richardson immediately apprised the justice of the peace of what had been done. A jury was summoned, consisting of four negroes and eight white men, and an Inquest held. The verdict wa» in accordance with the facts as detailed by the only two witnesses.
