96 8.95 860 eJ St. Paul, Sept. JS. -The limited passenger train from Duluth, bound for St. Paul, was caught in the fire near Hinckley Saturday afternoon and destroyed.

Two hundred and fifty passengers were saved from horrible death by the bravery of Engineer James Root and bis fireman, John McGowan, who remained at their posts and sent the doomed train flying through walls of flame until a swamp or lake was reached, where the passengers could find refuge. The ill-fated train left Duluth at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. the way down the smoke was so heavy that one could not see a hundred yards away, Daylight was shut out and the train proceeded slowly.

Bloated In an indiscriminate heap lay more than ninety corpses, men, women and little children. Some burned crisp, others only browned by the heat and none with a fragment of clothing larger than a man's hand to conceal their awful nakedness. Some were mere trunks, the extremities having been burned off. Some were bloated until the abdomen had been cracked open and intestines were protruding. Skulls were burned open and brains escaping; all were twisted and cramped in agony of death that had overtaken them.

A force of men were quickly at work digging shallow trench along, the south end of the cemetery. The sandy soil was hard as flint. It had been baked to a crust by weeks of drought and almost solidified by the fire. The work progressed slowly. Off in the corner of the clearing two smaller graves were being dug.

One was for Mrs. William Grisinger and her two baby girls, Caroline, aged 6, and Mabel, aged' 8. The husband and father had recognized them in grisly-heap and was hard at work preparing for them a final resting place apart from the trench designed for the unidentified, his labor dulling for the time the aouteness of his anguish. An Entire Family Dead. The other grave was for the Best family, whose numbers make their destruction notable even in this time of 'death.

John Best, Jr. was digging the pit with the friendly assistance of two neighbors. Laid In a row, deoenfcjy covered, were the bodies of John Best, Mrs. Best, Fred Best, aged 23; Bertha, aged 17; Mrs. Annie Wigel, a married daughter, and her 8-year-old daughter Minnie; Miss Annie man, of Diamond Bluff, a aged 26, and Victor aged 8.

Two other sons George, aged 25, and Willie, aged 21 are missing and are certainly dead. And of this whole family of three generations only the sorrowing grave-digger and his wife and child, who look aef uge in a dug-out, are left. They all lived together about two miles south-ast of Hinckley. WABASHA! 46 t5 40 45 85 86 18 80 fc 0 SO 80 80 7b A nice table syrap per gal 1 gallon white wins riaegat lib.

The fire started in the John Martin lumber yard at Mission Creek and swept northward to Hinckley and other towns, cleaning everything in its course. It was about 4 p.m. Saturday when the flames reached Hinckley.

The people became panic stricken. Many of them rushed to the river, where some were quickly drowned by people piling upon them. Others plunged under the water, as the flames darted down in great red tongues and hissed in their faces, singing their hair. Some of these escaped. Carried Away Frightened People.

A train on -the Eastern Minnesota road left Hinckley about the time the fire reached-there. The rushing of the people after the train caused the conductor to run back to the station.

Fires in the surrounding forests were still raging, and occasionally the cars would shoot through waves of flame. Not a man of the relief party bnt who sustained more or less serious burns and injuries. The sight was approached was appalling in the extreme.

On all sides could be seen the dead and charred bodies of horses, cattle, deer, wolves and other animals, and human corpses were almost as plentiful.

The 'committee divided and distributed themselves. throughout the town.

Then began their dreadful and heartrending discoveries. Dead bodies lay everywhere within their vision, and many a stout heart quailed when the shallow pond was reached and 105 dead bodies of human beings were found lying in one group, alongside great numbers of cattle and horses. In many places whole families were found, either burned or smothered to death. Some were found with their faoes buried in the gravel of the roadbed, having fallen as they were escaping. Others again were in a praying position, and were charred beyond recognition, First News of the Calamity.

The first news of the Hinckley calamity was given to the people of Pine City and the outside world by Mr. Angus Hay, publisher of the Hinckley Enterprise, who, with two other men, had reached safety after a number of thrilling escapes. They rushed into Pine City with a flying engine and caboose. Their faces were begrimed and scorched, their hair and beards were burned off and their clothing was literally burned from their bodies. Hay and his companions escaped the first violent fury of the flames in Hinckley by running to a neighboring marsh and burying themselves in the mud and water.

As soon as they saw their way partially clear they ran four miles between rows of burning trees and past the remains of burned buildings, reaching Mission Creek mcredeadthan alive. They were able to tell their story to the horrified people and give them warning of the oncreeping flames. They then secured the engine and caboose, ran to Pine City and gave the news that started relief to the stricken town of Hinckley. Med Into a Gravel Pit. The people who remained in Hinckley fared the best of all.

The Eastern Minnesota tracks mark the eastern line of the city proper. Just beyond the road owned a tract of land, probably embracing at least ten acres. It was purchased for a gravel pit to furnish material for the fill which approached the company's bridge, across the Grind-Btone and other points on its line. To the fact that it had been used far this purpose almost to exhaustion about a hundred Hinckleyites owe their lives. The whole area indicated had been excavated to a depth in the center of about thirty or forty feet.

There was a stagnant pool of rain water in- the center three feet in its greatest depth. The pit was wide and deep, and to it fled those of the citizens who were willing to trust to its friendly depths. Buna Beings Thrown In With Cattle There were probably. a hundred "of them, and in addition to the human beings, quite a number of domestic animals, horses, cows, oxen, pigs, chickens, sought safeey here. It was really the safest place about Hinckley.

Three or four hundred trunks, which were rolled only half down the sloping bank, passed through the Jlre unscathed. The people went in here as the Eastern train pulled out a few minutes after 4 o'clock, and here they remained until after 8, while the smoke and flames from the burning city passed over their, heads. They dashed their heads with wet cloths to prevent suffocation. One unknown man succumbed the smoke or the terrible strain and fell in the water and was drowned. Many Horned, Many Others of the citizens sought refuge in the Grindstone river under the abutments of the two railroad bridges and the foot bridge.

Eau Claire, Sept. 8. The Omaha train arriving here at 5 p. m. Saturday came through Bashaw, took 12 men, women and children from the burned village to Bice Lake, the conductor backing the train up to Bashaw to get the refugees, after he had run through without stopping.

The Northwestern Lumber company has report, of fresh breaking out of fires along the Eau Claire river. One of the company said they had already sold 50,000,000 feet of pine on the Eau Claire and did not believe there would be a green tree left when rain came. One of the Eau Claire owners of the Baronette Lumber company plant says the loss there is $250,000. from it, and the men one by one grew frightened and weak. The passengers were gasping for breath, and the train men, realizing how serious the situation had become, passed through the coaches imploring all.

The mothers sank to the floors of the coaches and offered up fervent prayers for deliverance from the flames. Rushing Into the Flames.

The train was within a mile and a half of Hinckley when flagged by peo- from town. The fire was then advancing with railroad speed towards the train. At first Engineer Boot thought of putting on all speed and rushing through the city, but an instant of. reason caused him to abandon the idea. The fire was coming with the speed of the wind, and such an effort would be worse than madness.

The roar of the fire became more distinct, So the train crew hurried all the people on board and Engineer Boot sent llie train spinning back over the track at a rapid rate. The fire now became discernible. It was coming like a whirlwind and Boot could see that it was going faster than the train. He increased the speed of the locomotive. It was no use.

The fire had caught and surrounded the train. Bui Engineer Boot did not hesitate. He held the throttle open and sent the train faster to the north, hoping to reach Skunk Lake before the cars and their loads of human beings burned. And he succeeded with the help of Fireman MoGowan, who pail after pail of water from the tank over himself and the engineer, to keep their hodies from roasting. Belief In the Swamp.

At last the train reached Skunk lake, and the order was hastily passed through the coaches to abandon the train and fly to the swamp close by. The train was on fire from the tender to the last coach. The passengers fled to the swamps, to await death or relief. After he had saved so many people from being roasted alive.

Provisions Sent by Hand Car. At Hinckley the provisions were loaded onto a handcar manned by Judge Nethaway and a volunteer crew, and a start was made across the shaky bridge to Miller, nine miles further north, where a dozen or more are dead and three or four times as many hungry and homeless. From Miller they expect to work east to Sandstone, about five miles across the country on the Eastern Minnesota railroad, where there are between forty-five and fifty dead and a couple of hundred living who were saved in Kettle river and in the great sandstone quarries.

About 11 o'clock the bridge was sufficiently repaired to admit the passage of a train, and an. engine, freight car and caboose, with a plentiful supply of food and a meagre store of coffins, was sent north. "At Hinckley the visible situation had not changed over night. The thirty or forty caskets and boxes'with their gruesome contents still lay alongside the track, where they were placed Sunday night. No attempt had been made to dress or embalm the bodies, and they were already growing very offensive.

Fortunately Monday was cool and cloudy, and grateful showers fell at intervals during the forenoon, The remains of the dead, however, were in such a horribly blistered and burned condition that decomposition rapidly set in. Undertakers advised that the bodies be put under mother earth as rapidly as possible. All Attempts at Identification Futile, From these bodies by the track the officials of the Duluth road had removed and carefully preserved every trinket and article of jewelry, and even shoes and scraps of clothing, placing those from each body in a receptacle numbered identically with the casket, so that possibly when the refugees return thev recognize them and Prompt Measures Takes, in St. Paul to.

The tents were brought up on the afternoon Milwaukee train and left on the Duluth road Monday morning. Accompanying' this relief train were twenty-five of the regular soldiers at Fort Snelling.
