Immense Swamp Fires in Wisconsin.

Appleton, Wis., Sept. 24. Sunday night’s gale fanned the big swamp fires into a sea of flame, and swept away a strip of timber a mile and a half long and a mile wide. The loss will reach $20,000 if the remainder of the swamp goes, as is now likely. Swamp fires also are reported in the towns of Black Creek, Freedom, and in Grand Chute, within two miles of Appleton.
