PAUL, Minn., Sept. 4.— Later reports from the fire-swept district of northeastern Minnesota and north western Wisconsin Indicate that the loss of life and destruction of property have not been exaggerated.

Ralil Falls.

Rains have cleared theuir somewhat from smoke, but were not heavy enough entirely to quench the flrus, which would break out on slight provocation if they had ought to feed upon. Of the fires across in Wisconsin less Is known here up to midnight, but there has been no loss of life reported and it is hoped the worst is over. Notwithstanding Monday's showers, however, the ground is dry and parched and all vegetation is so dr}' it, would ignite easily and burn with terrible rapidity.

Hurled at lllnckley.

Of the dead 828 have been burled at Uin'k'ey, most of them unidentified. Tlu- lemaius are burned and oharred beyond recognition. Wagon-loads of bodies are constantly being brought to the Hinckley cemetery, so that the list of dead will easily swell to 260 or 800 in the immediate vicinity.

Destruction of Broad Park.

Broad Park, near Pokegama station, new town on the 8t. Cloud & Hlnokley branch of the Great Northern, was totally destroyed. The flames burned 800,000 feet of lumber, a sawmill, hotel' stores, post office, Bchoolliouso and sen. tlon house. Twenty-five families in the iramedlat« vicinity are homeless.

The sufferers need .food, rainment and shelter for winter. Contributions from the outside are needed for their relief.

Gov. Nelson has issued a proclamation calling on the people of the state for contributions to aid the sufferers.

Two More Towns Burned.

LITTLH FALLS, Minn., ^ept. 4.—A forest fire destroyed Curtis and Cushing, 18 miles wast of here, Saturday. The loss at Cushlng was about $8S,000. i..

Dower's sawmill and luinbe* yard were burned loss, 526,000 Insurance, 0 U.000. The J. J. Howe Lumber company had $4,000 insurance. At Curtis William Long's mill burned, together with all the houses In town. Loss to Long, 926,000 insurance, £4,000. A great deal of timber was destroyed. One hundred persons are homeless, but no lives were lost.

Sixty Dud at Sandstone.

DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 4.—Early Monday a relief train returned to Duluth bearing 227 survivors of the burning of Sandstone. The train came up on the St. Paul & Duluth traok, the trip having been made to Sandstone by the relief party on foot The survivors were seoured and bates and small ohlldren oarrled baok over the 0-mile trail through the woods. One hundred and fifty persons were left and a second train was sent out for them. The party had to cross from Miller Station on the St. Paul & Duluth to Sandstone, miles distant Sixty bodies were found In the Uttl«

town, scattered about everywhere. No attempt has been made to bury them. One building Is all that remains at Partridge, on the Eastern Minnesota. Everything was burned, but as far aB can be leiirned only one life was lost.

All those saved at Sandstone were In the river, which the cyclone of flames passed, and managed to escape only by wading In the wate as far as possible and then throwing water over eaoh other's heads. The coming of the flames sounded like thunder and with such rapidity did they come that people who lingered to aave property or neglected to seek safety In the river perished in the flames

Pound Dead in the Well.

ST. OI.OTJD, Minn., Sept. 4.—Near Mllaca a family of five took refuge In a well. The fire extended to the woodwork surrounding it, and after It was burned off caused the well to oave In and all five perished by drowning. A farmer named Robert Barnes sent his son to town, a distance of 8 miles, and when he failed to return In time made a search and found his body lying a mile from the house.

A special from Mora states that many of those injured in the Pokegama fire are dying of their wounds and the number of deaths may exceed fifty. A carload of merchandise for distribution among the suffers of Pokegama was sent out from here Monday afternoon and Is being distributed there by a committee of the city council.

Many Hunters May Hat* Perished.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept 4.—It is greatly feared that many woll-known residents of St. Paul have perished in the forest fires that have swept over Hinckley and viuinlty sinco Saturday night Large numbers of sportsmen have left St. Paul within the last ten days to hunt prairie chickens near Hlnokley, Mora, Sandstone and other points in that vicinity, and few of these places have escaped the fiery flames. The fire covers a wide stretch of territory, and if these sportsmen were in the forests no power on earth could save them unless they were close to some largo body of water.

Indeed, this apprehension extends to all the cities of the country as far east as New York. Many sportsmen from Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York make trips every autumn to the woods of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Twin Cities Send Keller.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 4.—A relief train was sent to Hlnokly on Monday with a force of men and supply of tents, those being most noeded just now. Additional supplies were picked up at every station along the road. Philip Martin, of the land department of the Great Northern road, went in search of Thomas Fitzgerald, land examiner at Dellgrove, who, with a dozen workmen, was in the midst of the fire, and has not been heard from. The chamber of commerce raised 88,000 for relief at its meeting and adopted resolutions favoring the securing of Information from United States consular agents as to forestry management in foreign countries, with the object of preventing future forest fires.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 4.—The first relief train for the desolate region from Minneapolis left Monday morning laden with a plenteous store of provisions. It was followed by another on which went a staff of local surgeons and nurses. Rev. William Wilkinson, of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, is in oharge of the first train. A large local oommlttee has been formed to take the work in charge and the appeal for money, clothing and food being liberally responded to. Mayor Eustls is at the head of the movement, and his private secretary wires that Pine City is to be made the base of operations.

LAID WASTE.

MAKquKTTB, Mich., Sept 4.—Reports from all the towns along the south shore to the Wisconsin Btate line say that all is yet safe, though there are literally hundreds of fires in this vast belt of timber. The dense smoke which has overhung this city for two days has largely disappered before a brisk south wind. There have been no great calamities in this region, but soores if not hundreds of homesteaders have lost all they possessed, and the damage to timber has been enormous. Competent and conservative men estimate the standing pine over whioh fire h-ss run at not less than 160,000,000 feet Of this about two-thirds belongs to the match trust and about- one-sixth to the Nester estate. 1 his timber Is not destroyed, but the trees will havu to be cut this year to save them from the 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. Advices from Nestorla report heavy rains there and westward. This will materially check the forest fire, and if general will put the whole district out of danger.

Michigan Towns Threatened.

IBOX MOUNTAIN, Mioh., Sept. 4.—Tho entire country north and west of hero is in flames, and much damage is being done to. timber and farm crops, aud several towns are threatened with destruction. Norway was in imminent danger Sunday, and the inhabitants tnrned out and fought the fire for ten hours, when the danger was partly averted. Farmers have suffered severely by the destruction of their crops. A special train was held at Ainberg, about 20 miles below here, Sunday all day to take people from that place if it was found Impossible to suve the town. Alarm is also felt for the safety of Bessemer on the Gogebic range and numerous other small towns. On the Ontanagan branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul the forest, fires are raging so fiercely that trains are operated with great difficulty and danger. The track is badly warped by the heat, causing a wreck Saturday in which an engineer was killed and the fireman badly Injured. Along that division probably 20,000,000 feet of pine has been scorched, which must be cut at once to save it from total loss, and if cut the damage vill be 10 to Ifi per cent

AVlscousIn Towns Destroyed.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis,, Sept 4.— Northwestern Wisconsin is one immense sea of flame* and reports are coining to this city constantly of fatalities and deaths caused by the great conflagration. The towns of Rib Lake, Marengo and BradBhaw have been completely wiped out, and at the latter place three people lost their live*. Many others are missing, and it is impossible to estimate the extent of suffering by the inhabitants.

Cadott is in imminent danger of destruction. Almost 2 miles away, in a dense forest which terminates at the limits of the town, the woods are one vast blaze and the wind is carrying the flames with great rapidity toward the town. This is Cadott's greatest danger, and if no rain falls soon it will be certainly wiped out. The inhabitants realize this fact and already quite a number hove taken refuge in this city, while the others are prepared for flight at a moment's warning. li«*Mvy LOIDCI.

SPOON Kit, Wis., Sept. 4.—The destruction of Barronett was complete. Ono lone building is left of a town of 700 Inhabitants. One man was burned. The total loss was a quarter of a million.

The fires are now under control in this violnity.

Aflktt Help for tbe Suffercn. MADISON, Wis., Sept 4.—Gov. Peck has Issued an appeal for relief for burned-out poople at Barronett, Granite Lake and Coinstook, where 100 families arc suffering. No fatalities are reported to him. He goes to the scene to-day with a car load of food aud clothing.
