Besides this, the retail grocers are contributing all tbe groceries needed, while every one is finding cast-off clothing. Over a thousand nrvivers are being housed and fed in Du- luth.and about 200 are in Superior.

The State has been appealed to, and tomor row Lewis will go to St Paul and endeavor to have a meeting held of the mayors of the principal cities of the State. the citizens' meeting this afternoon the plan formulated was to call on the State for permanent relief that 'the burned-out people might start oat in life again. If this were found not feasible it was planned call on the Federal government. The idea is vague and it is not known if the laws will permit of any move pf tbe kind. is certain other States will be called on.

The most important thing now is to seek ont the living and dead back in the woods. The dead along the tracks are being rapidly buried where they fell by relief parties from Duluth. Careful note is made of every article on the persons of the dead so that they may be identified afterward. WEST SUPERIOR OPENS IT9 HEART. Hundreds Refageee Being Fed aad Clothed la That City.

Wast Superior, Sept 3. Special Telegram. This city is the scene of great excitement tonight The citizens have been horrified at the loss of life and' property to neighboring towns. Meantime they are caring for the distressed fire sufferers and watching at present the slow encroachment of the fires on this city. A gale from the south would surely send the fires into the south or east ends of this city at least The woods and fields are vast tinder boxes which need but a spark and a breeze to produce instant and destructive conflagration.

The fires are already within a short dis tance of the outskirts of town, and the smoke Is so thick as to cause suffering to many people. The relief committee, selected at a mass meeting, is doing all in its power to alleviate the misery among the suffering and exhausted survivors of the various towns that were swept away by fire. The City Hall has a general recruiting station, and pilesof clothingand boots and shoes are surrounded by men and women known to wealth and society in. many cities, who deal them out to the unfortunates who have escaped with their lives only and are glad even for that There were 165 persons fitted out with comfort able clothing and forty-seven are in the hospital. Even those who are stretched upon cots in the hospitals have not been forgotten by the committee having clothing to distribute, and the measure of each was roughlv taken so that when they are able to get out they will find new clothing throughout to put on.

The committee appointed to raise funds reports over 3,600 subscribed already. The better the facts become known the greater is the horror of the situation. The report at first was that seventy were dead then it was slowly increased, and no one now dares to hazard a guess. It is safe to say that 400 human beings perished in that awful sea of flame. It is not probable that all of the bodies of the dead will be recovered, for many are known to have ran panic-stricken into the woods ahead of the where escape was impossible.

MI LIT ART FORTg-wiTHPRAWM. Mo Fnrthex- Need of Soldiers at Hinckley aad Pine City. Pins Cm, Sept 3. All military force has been withdrawn from Hinckley and Pine City, everything that could be accomplished having been done. This morning a detail of twenty regular army troops from Fort Snelllng, under com mand of Captain Hale and Lieutenant McCoy, accompanied by an army surgeon, arrived from St Paul, with tents, but found the National Guards' tents ample.

The physicians were nearly exhausted, with their long service, and the army surgeon rendered valuable assistance. The tents were delivered by Captain W. H. Hart, brigade quarter master. Fifty of these tents were set up in City Park, and ten more were held in reserve.

Eighteen tents wero deliv ered at Hinckley, of which ten were set np. and two were delivered at Mission Creek. General Bunker had the St Paul sdusi on duty at the ar rival of the train, and Captain Hall's brigade assisted in the setting up of the fifty tents here in tbe park, which went Into place with regular army expedition. The St Panl squad assisted in setting tents at Hinckley, after which it returned to St Panl at 8 p. m.

Tbe regular army troops remained nntil late at night, when they were taken back to St Panl by special tram. PREPARING FOR A MEMORIAL SERVICE Pastor Hudson, of Hinckley, Making I ra-urements Story of a Bible. Pike Cm, Sept 3. Arrangements are being made lor a memorial service, probably next Snnday, for the unknown dead. Pastor Hudson, of the Presbyterian Church Hinckley, has the in charge.

One of the pieces of personal property carried away by one of the dead, which was found near the body, was a large family Bible, printed in the Swedish lan go age, and while the body was shockingly burned the Bible was nn injured, save for a slight scorching of the edges of the leaves. GHOULS AT WORK AMONG THE DEAD Bodies of the Victim Being Despoiled of Jewelry and Money. Pura City, Sept o. There is a strong suspicion that among those who have been in Hinckley ostensibly for lief purposes there have been a lawless few who have played the part of ghouls and vandals. Many of the bodies had money and valuables on them and in cases whose number can only be conjectured from two or three which are known they were stolen.

One body was found in whleh the trousers were intact and the pockets had been turned inside out ST. CLOUD TO THE RESCUE. A Car Load of Merchandise Sent to Poks- gama Sufferers- St. Clodd, Sept 3. Special Tele gram.

Railroad Men Giye: Reason for' the Destructiveness of the Fires-? -Authorities Careless. Asblajcd. Sept 3. Special Tloram. The anxiety felt at Ashland for safety of Northern Wisconsin towns was somewhat eased today reports of rain at nearly locality where the fires have been worst has been a to this country.

Queries sent out from Ashland have brought back many responses regarding the rains, which, though have been insufficient to more than temporarily dampen the fierv furnace. The heat has been stifling' all day, but the atmosphere has been much clearer. From Antigo, which place was queried this afternoon, came the response. It commenced raining here at 11:80 and con tinued until 1 :30. considerable moisture falling Again at 1:45 it began raining and continued for an hour longer.

It has checked tne names in this vicinity to a great extent although they have not beea entirely exUagnlahed. From Ironwood came the following re sponse: This city Is now no longer in danger from for' est fires. Rain fell this afternoon for nearlv two hours. Yesterday the (Ires crept up over the Gogeble range, around the orris mine, and ad' vanced oa the city from that direction. Several small buildings in the outskirts of the city were burned, but the fire department which is a very efficient one.

prevented the flames from getting up into the city. The rain this afternoon practically put Ironwood out of danger. From Hurley came the response Rain fell quite generally over the Gogeble but is almost too light to be of much con' Hurley is In no danger. Hard Fight at Bwienwr. At Bessemer there was probably the hardest 'fight made of any town of the Gogebic range.

The flames came pouring in over Colby hill, backed by a strong gale, County Clerk Nelson's fine residence Is located Just at the base of this hill and Is somewhat isolated from the main portion of the city. The citizens turned ont en masse and fought the flames back all day long. Tbe fences of the residence were burned, and everything combustible about the yard, but the house was saved. It was this determined stand taken at Nelson's residence hy the- citizens. that kept the ttrejout of the city.

It rained at Bessemer also this afternoon, but not long enough to drown ont the flames. At Poplar, ont on the Northern Pacific, everything Is in ashes wlthle exception oawu-iTEiporiant buildings. Passen gers on tne northern racino passenger train which came through there this afternoon report the village a sorrowful-looking sight The Northern Wisconsin towns tnat nave been burned are as follows i BENOIT.

HIGHBRIDGE. partially. ASHLAND JUNCTION, scorehee. WASHBURN, scorched. Every possible source of information has been closely watched for details regarding loss of life, bat none has occurred for an absolute certainty.

The woman who was picked np along the Central line near High-bridge by bridge repairers is still bemoaning the loss of her They were separated in the rush from their home. Many Persons Missing. There are large numbers of persons miss ing, but It is known that there were many avenues of escape open to them, and they are believed to be in safety at some point It will take several days to gather exact details. The numerous clearings and small lakes are being utilized by refuges. and a great number are being picked up along the rights of way of the railroads.

The Ashland Iron and Steel Uompany is a heavy loser at Spencer in the way of a large quantity of cord wood that had been ent and was piled np for the use of charcoal kilns. In explaining the reason that fires have burned so generally and so fiercely this year a prominent railroad official said tonight that it was all owing to the great amount of brush and rubbish left In the rapid construction of railroads and also the great amount created in logging. No pre cautions have been taken to clear up the stuff and burn it A vast amount of the territory burned over by the fires this year has not been visited by fires in years be fore and the accumulation of dead material has given a lasting existence to the flames which it will takedays of rain to effectually extinguish. Where Railroads Suffered. The railroads have been damaged mostly along their spur tracks to mines and short branches to various mining and milling towns.

Brush was left along these tracks. Every town damaged by the fires been remarkably negligent in the matter of cleaning up around the suburbs. Stumps and brush heaps had been left along the streets and in vacant lots. Ashland has had but one Western Union wire in working order all day, and it has been crowded to its utmost capacity to handle the business. Railroads have patched up their wires on stumps and sticks, and in fact any way to lift them from the ground.

Fifty poles are out along- the Northwestern wire, and along the whole distanee tbe wire is not lifted over two feet from the ground. Double crews of linemen are out night and day and section men are being pressed into tbe service to keep Ashland's communica tion with the outside world in working order. Arrivals from GUdden tonight say that the city is ont of danger, and confirm the statement that the -wild reports sent oat were the result of the nervousness of the operator at that place.

No one was burned seriouslv who. was not la tally in jured.

Thereas no attempt to care for dead, whoTay scattered with irregu larity through the streets of the town. Everything inflammable at Sandstone was destroyed, and today's investigations brought the number of the dead at that place up to sixty-two. with twenty-one people Using. Mr. Webster, the father of Mayor Lee Webster, in this town, was among the dead.

and this afternoon Mr. Webster went to Sandstone to bury his father and mother. The scene at Sandstone, as described by Webster, was heartrending. The streets of the town, were only lines sana between'" neaps of ashes. Within these lines lay forty bodies scattered at.

The bodies were lying exposed to the sua and rain alike, and were rapidly becoming decomposed. They were identified, as far as possible, and will be buried tomorrow.

Saturday's fire was the worst dis aster ever known in tbe history of this place. Fifty-three dwelling-houses are in ashes, besides the Catholic Church, which was valued at $3,000 and uninsured. A great many barns, sheds, and outbuildings were burned. Tbe loss, it Is estimated, will foot np between 160,000 and 175,000, and there will be an insurance of perhaps 120,000. The loss comes particularly heavy upon the place, as most of the losers are poor and laborer-.

For a week people have been very uneasy, owing to the fires in close proximity to the place, but no serious apprehension was felt nntil Saturday morning, when a heavy gale sprang np from the southwest This favored the flames, and at o'clock a large hay field next to town wss discovered on fire. De spite the efforts of citizens the fire crept np to the edge of the town, but by heroic efforts the main body of the flames was subduea. While all attention was turned to this quarter a marsh on the western outskirts of the town caught fire, and in a twinkling the western part of the city was on fire. Men, women, and children became panic stricken and fled, about two hundred of them going to Spooner, where they well cared for by citizens. After a sharp fight the fire was brought under control, and the business portion of tbe town was saved.

Bnt one life was lost. that of Andrew Erickson, who perished near Baronette. He was brought here for burlaL The burned district here will be rebuilt Lumber is being hauled upon the ground today. At Baronette. eight miles south of here, Saturday the entire village of 900 in habitants and tbe Baronette Lumber Com pany's big mill was burned.

All tbe build ings in the town were owned by tbe lumber company, and were occupied by their ployea. Captain Bourne, manager of the company, estimates tbe loss at $250,000, with only about $10,000 insurance, which was ou the lumber. The people fled to this place and to Cumberland. Hardly a thing in Baronette was saved and tbe people are in a deplorable state. It is thought the mill will not be rebuilt which means that the town will be abandoned.

BRINGING IN THE DEAD. One Wscoa Load of Kino Bodies Reaches Hinckley from th Woods. Pins Crrr, Sept a Special Telegram. About 7 o'clock this evening a searching party in a wagon returned to Hinckley from tbe woods near by, bringing with them nine dead bodies. They reported twenty more bodies lying in the woods, and were unable to haul them in because of the alreadv heaw load.

The rough ground makes it impossible to drive fast or to haul a bis- load. Warons ana searenmg parties will ra out tomorrow to bring in other dead. At the place where Pokegama stood there are twenty dead and fifteen missing. This was a village of 100 inhabitants, located on the Eastern Minnesota Road, eight miles east of Hinckley. W.

W. Braman and thirty-five others found refuge in a puddle of water. A relief party went to their assistance on a handcar from Hinckley The lone woodman's shanty between Pine City and Hinckley is a curious sight The brown paper covering is loose at the ends and the martin box on a pole beside tbe shanty still stands. Neither of them are even scorched, although tbe timber and rrass within a few feet of them were Dense clonds of smoke still hang over the territory, and is still looming up from tbe burning timber and the swamps. The stumps of trees are lyinr above ground about Hinckley, the ground having been literally burned from under them to a depth of two is accounted for from the.

fact that. the. timber stood in swamps, and the grass and peat having burned away lowered the surface of the land. Occasionally a green sapling is left with Its leaves almost fresh, while about them the bushes and trees are stripped and blackened by fire. Thousands of small trees are broken aad twisted as if a cycloae had swept over the eountry.

Destruction Confront Relief Parties. STORIES OF SURVIVORS. Citizens Powerless Against the Hurricane of Flame. Thirty People Picked Up at Finlayson Where They Had Taken Refuge in the Lake. DOLOTH, Sept.

3. Special Tel- cram. As more detailed accounts of awful disaster of tbe past two dsys come ia the horror of whole thing becomes more apparent, and first reports, rather than having been ex-' sggerated. see at hardly to have given an lakliog of the extent of lose of life and property. Those who have been oat oa the relief trains since tbe bureed territory was ia condition to permit systematic work, realize fully tbe utter inadequacy of the relief corps equipped as those have which bare gone out to the scene of the dUaster.

Conductor WeUmaa's train this morning brought twenty-nine refugees, whose stories, only served to confirm the first reports of widespread disaster. Most those on the train were from Finlayson, its immediate vicinity. O. Borjlin, of Sandstone, waa among the. passengers, and he confirmed tbe report of i the dUaster at that town.

The fire, he. said, began its work of destruction in taat 1 village at about 5 o'clock Saturday after- noon, tie citizens were powerless stay the flames and they were forced tom ee for their lives. At least eighteen are "mown have taken refuge in wells and i --ellara. and these have never beea se since. Some tried to escape from the turn and! were doubtless burned in the ods or along the track.

When the fire 'd sub sided and the survivors were abled to search for the dead forty-six bodies were found amid the ruins of the town. The village, with the exception o( jne building, was completely swept from; he face of the earth, and those who ha survived the awful dUaster were ab jtely destitute. Borjlin had walked across to FinlaysosLJ where he cauebt the train to Duluth. Tbe stories told by the refugees are of scenes which are impossible to Half a mile west of tbe wreck of the limit: is the ruin of what was once a happy; home and a prosperous farm. Everything: swept away, and in the cellar where once stood tbe house surviving settlers, found the body of Mra.

John and closely clasped in her arms her, 3-months-old babe. Weaterland saved himself by taking refuge in his well, but was badly burned, and is now in Duluth. In a' field near by was discovered tbe body of a young lady, a sister-in-law of Her name is not known, bat she is deacnbe4 having been of blonde type. or 18 years of age. and of very comely appears ance.

Willie Maekie. months old, was also found near the same point and nof far away his mother, Sophie Mackie. Mackie has a brother living in The bodies in the fields were removed and placed in the cellar with the others. Settlers re ported that half a mile front the point where the first bodies were found Alfred Johnson was discovered burned to death. Some of the bodies were in a horri ble condition and it was impossible to move them.

Settlers from Finlayson tell of a family named Bllletdoux, the members of which seemed to have suffered more than the usuej allotment, even in scenes of suffering. The father is reported as so seriously burned a to be unable to reach the tracks. Three the children are dead, three living, and the mother is left with absolutely nothing to eat. The residence is three miles east of Finlayson, and had tbe reports been rn ceived soon enough the relief committee would have attempted to send aid to these sufferers. Half a mile beyond here tbe Lafabe family is reported to have ner ished.

,1 Among those who came upon this train were Miss Estelle Hav. school teacher at Finlayson C. Harris, wife and grands children Mrs. James Carmen and children, who at first were reported lost; O. Berjlin, of Sandstone; J.

H. Willard, of Hinckley' R. H. Hall nostmaster of Willow Riverl William O'Connor and his family, H. Tyler and wife, William Strong.

Oust Her man, and Charles Ramm. Most of these were from a few coming front short distances from the town. 1 The relief party proceeded first to Fin lavaon. Here thirtv neODle soneht refurO in the lake during the. height of tbe fire, and the shallow water proved a veritable haven to them, for all survived.

Among them was Miss Estelle Hay, the school teacher at Finlayson, but who a resident of Pine City. A party of six or seven were picked up as Finlayson, who, when the fire hid themselves from its fury In a root cellar. Tbe atmosphere of their place refuge grew more Intense each moment nntil suffocation threatened. Just at the 1 LI.L 1 critical moment a mate, waica nu ocvii wandering aimlessly about in search of a shelter, lumbered up onto the partially, raised roof of the cellar and plunged through, giving the now hopeless refugees the little air thev needed, for the super heated air outside was preferable to the' oven inside. The mule was the hero ol that camp.

From Finlayson tne reiiei passea on to the ruins Of the abandoned St Paul and Duluth limited train. A thorough search. was made ol tne ruins ana one ooay ionna in what had been the rear of the Mlnne asolis chair ear. The' remains were gathered np in a backet There waa nothing to identify them by, and even the sex was cn disco vera ble, though one of phyaicians said it was probably tbe body of a person from 14 to 10 years old. Alderman Cox says that many people fear they must pay fare.

They have no money and are afraid they would be put on tne tram in a worse puce man mej At Finlayson Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Harris and grandson, a bright, pretty little babe, got on the train.

They apent the night In a blanket, and for several hours it was a question whether it was nest to tnrow it in the water and let it drown or have it burn. They came out all right, however, and are cheerful to think that though every thing is lost, they still have their Uvea. At Finlayson they tell a story of a pretty school teacher who. after a ntirht in the lake, eame ont grasping a curling Iroa tightly in her hand. IPEMTIFTIXQ THE CORPSES.
