NOT VET SATED.

The Fire Fiend Renews His Attack on Wisconsin Forests.

THE FLAMES BURST OUT AFRESH.

The Town* of Port Wing and Bruce Reduced to Afthen Ftreg Surround Alii land, Washburn and

Other TOKDN.

GIIEATKH DESTBUCTION IMMINENT. ASHLAND, Wis., Sopt. 8.—Port Wing, a small town at the mouth of Flag1 river, 40 miles east across the bay from Duluth, accord injj to reports received, was totally wiped out by the fires Tuesday afternoon. It is a town of about 200 population, and is the headquarters of the Cranberry Lumber company. As there is neither railway nor telegraphic communication with the place the report cannot be confirmed. The report did not say whether there had been any lives lost.

Fires In All Directions.

Fires are burning on all sides of Ashland. The same is true of Washburn, and, if reports brought in by trainmen are true, Ironwood. Hurley, Odanah, Bayfield, Sanborn, Marengo, iienoit, Iron River and a dozen other impoitant centers of life and commerce are in a situation equally dangerous. A blanket of smoke envelops this entire region, and it is as dense as the proverbial London foff.

Incendiaries at Work.

To increase the terror caused hy tho forest tires the ofiicials of many places lmve to contend with incendiaries. These fiends on several occasions, it it, said, have tried to destroy Washburn and Ashland, and it is said tliey have started fires in other towns. The police at Washburn arrested three suspects Tuesday. Sunday they arrested three. None of them is known in this region, and it is said by some of the people they are anarchists from the coal fields of Illiuois and Pennsylvania. An insurance adjuster said he had learned from an ofllcial source that the suspected incendiaries were almost without exception Italians or Poles. Seven men are looked up iu Ashland on suspicion, but the police, like those of Washburn, are reticent about saying anything as to the character of the men they have arrested.

Fat* of a Family.

The first fatalities reported in the vicinity of Ashland came Tuesday from Agnew Station, 8 miles west of here on the Wisconsin Central railway. Tho report came in the form of a telegram asking for eight coffins. The family of Isaac Tawney was wiped out in the fires Sunday morning. It consisted of Mr. Tawney, his wife and three children. The other three coffins were for the unidentified bodies of a man, a woman and a boy.

The story of how the Tawney family lost its existence probably will never be known. From the positions of the bodies, however, it is probable they were overtaken in the dead of night. The remnants of clothing that oling to the charred remains of Mrs. Tawney would indicate that she had just left her bed. The body of her youngest child was clasped in her arms. The bodies of the father and the other two children were a few rods away from the mother and baby. Close by were the remains of the other unfortunate victims who have not as yet been identified. It is believed by those win have lived here for many years nnd who have experienced forest fires before that the number of persons who have lost their lives in the settlements around Ashland and Washburn will surpass even that given by the wildest (fuessers. Many of the homesteaders are strangers who have settled in the woods within the last year.

Relief Train Carries Coffins.

With the report of the deaths of the Tawney family came a report of great destitution in a settlement 4 miles south of there. Tuesday night a relief train with the eight coffins left Ashland. It carried provisions and clothing, and a physician went along to care for any of the destitute who might be suffering from burns or other injuries.

Twenty-flvo families of refugees reached Ashland late Tuesday evening. They are all in a destitute condition, but the city authorities have, so far, provided them with shelter. Mayor llubbcl organized a relief oominlttec, which at once opened up head' quarters. The mayor will issue a proclamation asking the citizens of Ashland to cinlrib.te to Ihe sufferings of tho unfortunates.

Dreakfl Out Afresh.

Tuesday morning there was a heavy shower of rain. It cleared tho atmosphere and temporarily deadend the fires, but the warm sunlight soon evaporated the moisture. Then the imbers began agalu to smolder and smoke. This was kept up until about 1:30 p. m.. when a strong breeze began to blow from the northeast. Before the people could realize what had happened the forest fire had broken out afresh with redoubled fury in hundreds of places. The first fire noticed was almost directly across Chequamegon bay, 2 or 8 miles south of Washburn. Hy sundown there was a territory fully 4 miles square roaring like a cyclone and with the terriflo heat of a blast furnace. The favorable direction of the wind was all that saved the town of Washburn from the fate it so narrowly escaped Saturday, Sunday and Monday. At dark the fire was moving towards Sanburn, a town of 250 people on the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantlo road, 9 miles from the point where the fire started. Owing to the fact that all the bridges between Ashland and Sanburn are down and the wires broken It was Impossible to obtain any Information from that point.

Ten ipinuteB after the fire to the west of Washburn was discovered smoke began to rise at intervals in every direction. A huge gray column arose beyond the hills to tho north of Washburn. Then another appeared

to the east of Ashland, and another to the southeast In the direction of Odanah, an Indian settlement 8 miles through tho tipiljer from here. It has a population oi 800 tbdians aDd about fifty white settlers in the vicinity.

Another Town Wiped Out.

CmiTEffA FALLS, Wis., Sept. 6.—A late report from Bruoe says the little village was oomptatoly enveloped by the forest fire that has been surrounding the place for several days. The people esoaped by running to the creek, covering themselves with wet blankets, iflhd allowing- the flames to sweep over them. D. W, Blackburn's mill camp and 1,000,000 feet of lumber were burned. There was no insurance. Mr. Arraoe's house, barn and thirtyfive head of stock burned and the loss is total. His loss is 97,000, with no insurance. All Mr. Arrance saved was ths clothing he and his family wore. His loss on house, stock and crops is estimated at #8,000. Stickney, McPherson & Stlckney lost 8,000,000 feet of logs by fire at Cartwright. Bruoe is a post settlement on the Chippewa river and on tho Minneapolis, St. Paul fc and Sault Ste. Marie, 8 miles north of Chippewa Falls. The population was 100.

Rain Abates the Fire's Kury. ISHPRMXNO, Mich., vSept. 6.—Foar of

Those who escaped saved nothing but their lives and enough clothing to wear, and few have any Intention of remaining on the burial ground of their fellow citizens if they can possibly make a living elsewhere this winter. In this way the railroads have lost one of their chief sources of revenue and will not recover from the shock for years. Their immediate losses, probably 8100,000, aro scarcely worth specifying in view of the wlde-spred destruction of everything along their respective lines.

General Remarks—In the westoru portion of tho cotton region there 1ms been too muoh rain for cotton, and the staple has sustained considerable injury from rust, shedding and boll worms. While wet weather has reduced the grade of cotton In Texas, the crop Is reports.". as doing well, and with favorable weather conditions a lurge crop will b« gathered. South Carolina. Georglu. Alabama, Mississippi roport more or less damage from rotting, rust or shedding, but more favorable reports are received from Arkansas and Tennessee. Picking Is now general throughout the northern ponton of the cotton region. Corn Is maturing rapidly In North ikota aud Wisconsin, and cutting has beg in in Missouri, lowa and Minnesota. Tho crop has improved In Tennessee an.! In portions of Illinois, and lowland oorn Is doing fairly well in Ohio. In Michigan a large part of the crop is beyond help. In Indiana corn Is maturing slowly. Drought conditions generally prevail throughout tlio northern districts etist of the Kocky mountains, and owing to the dry and baked conditions of the soil but little plowing for fall seeding has yet been done. Pasturage Is generally poor, rendering it necessary to feed stook, and lack of water foi stook exists In many sections.

THE DEATLI 1.1ST GKOWI.VO. PINE JUNCTION, Minn., Sept. 8.— Every hour that crawls by adds to the list of horrors in Pine and Kanabeo counties. The cyclone of flames that swept these two counties 1b dying out, and as relief and exploring parties begin to go over the gound it scourged the first estimates of the destruction it did seem more and more inadequate. Tuesday night the relief committee, which has headquarters at. Pine City, announced that at least 450 persons have died hideous deaths 1,200 more are left absolutely destitute, hungry, shelterless and half clothed.

Bylug

From one cistern in Sandstone Tuesday they took fifteen corpses. A deep, blaolc pond near the sawmill just north of Hinckley was the refuge of scores of panic-stricken inhabitants. Ita shores are steep and slimy, composed of sawmill refuse anyone venturing near it would almost certainly slip into deep water and drown. Men of Hinckley believe that there are lifty bodies or more in the bottom of this pond. The edges of it are smoldering now with a fierce heat and uo one can approach it Along the south branch of the Grindstone river there w-vo over 100 settlers in little cleariug-s scattered through the forest. No one has seen or heard of a single one of these unfortunates yet. The worst of the hideous story is yet to be told.

Death Kverywhere Abound*.

Death Is everywhere. The sight of a living man In this oharcoal desert gives one a start of surprise. The wild deer, swift as they were in flight, were caught by this flying hell and burned as they ran. About the ash heaps that were villages fowls, dogs, cats, horses, eattle, all domestic beasts lie half eaten by fire. The sight of the hideous human corpses, unspeakable torture written in every fiber of the denuded, half-oharred muscles, is enough to make a man faint and slok, but these horrid fragments are handled at Hinckley like so many dogs. There is a surfeit of horror. People are going doggedly and sullenly about the neverending, heavy task of burying their dead. Their capability for anguish has been stunned.

Slckeblny Scenes at the Cemetery.

In the little, desolate cemctei-y at Hinckley there are three long trenches, dug tn the clay, eaoh 00 feet long, 0 feet wide and 4}tf feet deep. Two of thom are filled already. The other will be soon. Monday 184 bodies had been dumped in these trenches, sixty more were added Tuesday, and the clumsy pine boxes used as coffins are still staoked and corded about the trenches, crowding upon the heels of the gravedlggers, who toiled away, weary, hungry and homeless. The first bodies were put away unoofflned. They brought corpses Into this place of horrors by the wagon load, plied up like cordwood. They dumped them off In one great staok, a grewsome heap 10 feet high and to In diameter. One by one the things were taken from this heap and tossed into the hole, but as the grave diggers tolled the heap of dead grew upon them. To-day in the plaoe where that pile of bodies was there is a litter of halfburned shoes, of charred scraps of olothlng, of great wisps of women's hair—an unspeakable debris of the tumbled bodies. No one could tell who those dead bodies had been. Some shred of clothing, some trinket, by which tho body could be recognized, was kept by Frank Webber, who had volunteered the task of superintending the wholesale burial and making a record.

John Kodgers' body was in that box. Not one in 200 of the dead could be identified. Indeed, the survivors are just beginning to seek their dead.

Lone, Deep Trenches The Search for Victims Continued and Many Are Found.

Tuesday Lee Webster, mayor of Hinckley, went to the cemetery seeking the body of his wife. U» dug up nine corpses before he found one that answered in a genoral way to the appearance of Mrs. Webster and this one he had set In a separate grave. There are countless new graves In the cemetery besides the three trenches. Scores of people dug graves for their own dead. John Best, one of the once prosperous citizens of Iilnokley, with his own hands burled his father, mother, two sisters and three brothers, and then he went sturdily on digging yet other graves for the friendless.

MUoovery of New Rodte*.

Bodies are still being found. Fiftyseven of them were brought to Coroner Collins at Hinckley Tuesday, not counting others sent directly to the cemetery. There are searching parties out all through the burned woods, hunting patiently about, straining their eyes to find corpses that aro hardly distinguishable from tho charred logs among which they lie. They are burying the bodies where they found them in many cases, so there is still less chance for an accurate computation of the number of dead.

The Duluth right of way and the oountry within a considerable distance on both sides up as far as Skunk Lake has been scoured pretty thoroughly. A few bodies .were taken out Monday night and all the bodies wore picked up. It had been roported that there were twelve bodies, but the careful •earch that was made revealed twenty-eight. They were in an awful condition and could not be handled with any care. Five children of tho Qreonfiel 1 family were so badly burned that all were put In a box designed to contain

adult. The

mother and father were In Hinckley and were saved, but their family and home is wiped out of existence. Tho Robertson family of five persons, three of who were adulta, were brought in. Mrs. John McNatnara and her son, who were refugees from Hinckley, and who made their way farther up the track than their neighbors, were identified. Near Mrs. MoNamara was a saohel containing 9600 in currenoy and 98,000 in checks, which was reoovored. Not far away were the bodies of two unknown boys, presumably from Hinckley.
