TOWNS BURNED IN FOREST FIRES IN MINNESOTA

il $00 Lives Lost and Property Damaged to Extent of ; $1,000,000 Thousands Are Homeless. DULUTII, Minn., October 14 With probably 500 persons dead, thousands homeless and without clothing, and I with property damage amounting to millions of dollars, whole sections of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota timber land today are smoldering, fire- : stricken areas, with only the charred ruins of abandoned, depopualted towns to accentuate the general desolatlon. The bodies of 75 victims lie in Duluth morgues. Hundreds more along the roads leading to Duluth and Superior lay where they fell when overtaken by the fire. Twelve thousand homeless and penniless refugees are In need of more or less medical attention and are quartered in hospitals, churches, schools, private homes and in the armory here, while doctors and nurses sent from surrounding communities attend them, and nearly every able-bodied man in the city has been conscripted to fight the flames, which now are reported to be dying away. Reports that the holocaust resulted from the work of enemy agents were circulated here last night. Definite confirmation was not available, but Incendiaries were driven away from a local shipyard when the fires in Duluth and Superior were burning at their height, according to F. J. Longren, Fire Marshal, and other city and state officials. Reports reaching here by courier told of widespread destruction, but it was evident that In most case3 the fury of the flames was spent. Duluth and Superior are In no further danger. Virginia is safe and Brainerd was untouched. However, peat bog fires now ire said to menace the latter city. Bemldjl reported only a small loss. ' Greatest loss of life and property damage is believed to have occurred In the Cloquet region, where a number of towns have been destroyed and all semi-rural settlements virtually wiped out. A special train of 20 coaches brought 1,500 refugees from Cloquet and Carleton. They confirmed reports that many persons lost their lives in those towns.
