Winnipeg, Man.. Oct. 11 -Seven thou-
•and square miles of territory In uortb-
ern Minnesota Mtitl southern Ontario were
h smoking furnaee todiiy. Throughout the
night I lie fire raged, driven by a relent-
less wind. An area containing more than
fifteen thousand re*i«leut* had lieeu de-
ruatated. More than one thousand an* he
lleved to be dead and from twenty-five
hundred to four thousand others are miss-
ing. Fourieen towns and villages had
heen wiped out. Eight
____ _ thousand
women and children were lioineleaa. The
properly loss was estimated nt over $100.-
imnmmni and there wn no sign of the fire's
abatement.
SHOOT LOOTERS ON SlCillT.
l/neudurable suffering befell the people. |
panic reigned and In t!>e communities of
Rainy river In International Falls refugees
rendered desperate b.v the terrible situa-
tion, gave way to violence. On the « an-
ii d i it ti Hide the northwestern mounted po-
lice patrolled the stricken area with or-
ders to shoot till looters on sight ; oil the
Amerlcau side u regiment of Minnesota
national guard were split up lu detach-
ments for police duty.
ALMOST INSANE FROM FEAR.
The guardsmen were instructed only to
moke arrests and assist In the relief work.'
The meager details which came out of tho
living Inferno today brought nothing but
stories of death, disaster and suffering.
Stories of human suffering were beyond
conception. Men and women refugees who
had fled to this city to Ualny river, to
Warroad or International Falls, were
nearly Insane from fear and the ghastly
sights they had witnessed.
BODIES FLOAT IN STREAMS.
Dead bodies strew every road and every
line. The creeks and rivers are full of
flouting corpses. Near the site of the
burned town of Beaudette more than one
hundred charred and blackened bodies
were In Id aut In the temporary morgue
today.
Settlers who escaped passed through
the greatest danger. Some hud their cloth-
ing completely burned off. Others were
nearly parboiled by standing neck deep
In small rivers and creeks. Many who were
not killed outright were burned so badly
that they will die.
RAIN WOULD CHECK FIRE.
Only a good, soaking rain can check the
wall of fire, It was stated today. The
treacherous wind was au clement which
caused much fear. As this wind blew
mf:idlly in one direction until the flames
would surround a community and I lieu
slow off. then the fires would leap out In
some other direction. A mighty curtain
of smoke cloaked the sky. Live embers
were carried by the winds and started a
new fire.
Nearly n dozen communities are menaced
early today by the tire, which had eaten
a new swath throughout the night. The
communities utterly destroyed are Beau-
dette, Spooner, Roosevelt, Longwnrth,
Zlpple, Solal, Cedar Spur, Fngle, ('.ravel
Fit, Or ace ton, Pitt, Swift, llalnler and
Williams.
WINNIPEG IN DANGER.
Communities menaced: titration. Fort
Francis, Barwlck and South Junction.
Partly burned: International Fulls, Rat-
portage. Warroud, I'luewood, Sprague and
ltalny River.
It was feared for a time that the fire
would sweep Winnipeg. A wall of flames
was blown In that direction by the wind
but It was checked In time.
Governor Bberhardt and Adjutant Wood
of Minnesota, have gone Into the fire zone
of that state upon a special train to see
what relief measures the state should take.
Bed cross nurses have been sent into the
stricken territory nnd temporary hospitals
and morgues have been erected.
l'OOD FOR SUFFERERS.
Three carloads of tools and food have
been sent to the fire zone. Auother spe
cial train sent out from St. Paul cur-
ried food uud clothWig.
Traiukads of refugees have been taken
to llainy River, Fort Francis, Warroad
uud International Fal a. Practically all
were driven from their homes without be-
ing able to save a thing. All were content
to get off with their lives. Many of theui
were severly burned: others were more
than half naked. AH told inui\elous stories
of death iu Its most cruel form, of suf-
fering and miraculous escape. They said
that the droves of wild animals were driv-
en from the forests and sought the set-
tlements where they miuglcd with the do-
mestic animals.
LUMBERMEN DRIVEN OUT.
v-« Lumbermen from the north, driven from
their tamps by the encroach of the tire
took refuge in the settlements. The auth-
orities said It was mainly those men who
had brokeu into saloons when the panic
was at Its height and became drunk.
Telegraph and telephone lines have fal-
len uud sections of railroads are wiped
out. The Canadian Northern, the Can
ndiun Pacific and the Great Northern to-
day sent many relief trains.
ANIMALS A It E KILLED.
Practically every living animal has been
killed. The bodies of cattle, horses, dogs,
cats and even wild animals, litter the
trails and open spaces where they had run
for safety.
I a Spooner n horse hitched to a light
wagon was tied to a telegraph pole when
the fire beat down upon the town. When
the flames had passed over there was no
trace of either harness or wagon except-
ing the metal work and tightly gripped
between the uuiuiul's teeth was the bit.
HAIR BURNS OFF DOG.
A dog Belonging to P. Tonneberge of
the l'irst State hank heard his master
speak and come whiuing from the burning
bank, totally blind and with not a linlr
left on bis body to tell Ids color or breed.
Animals by the dozen .scorched and burn-
ed. have lieeu killed off to end their suf-
ferings. for in the face of walls of flames
not even the wild animals could escape.
Many are the pathetic sights seen in
the wake of the flames.
DEAD GIRL HELD DOLL.
Xenr a little girl was , found
Iving dead beside a trail and In her arms
was tightly clutched a rag doll. Then there
was found near Pitt the remains of a
mother and father of four chilli mi. Reside
thein was a basket containing some fond
and a picture f a little girl, nrrsumahij
a daughter, who had died. Wives and
daughters, fathers and sous are mourning
for "some relat ive either on the dead or
missing 11 -t. for today northern Minne-
sota' and New ontario are beginning to
realize the worst horror ever recorded
i.i this part of North America.
HEARD ROAR OF FLAMES
Ua nev River, Ont . Oct. 11.—B. F. Sim-
mons and his aged father, of Des Moines,
I«.wa. and Christ Jergenson were brought
here last night terribly burned and help
less They weie discovered in the burii'>d
distrct b'.v a rescue party In the nick
of time. After restoratives had somewhat
revived thein, the younger man told Lis
story as fellows:
"Shortly after dinner yesterday, M
McLaren, United States government ajrent,
warned us to get Into town as there wis
danger, but many people had been trying
to hoax one way or auother so we deter-
milieu to remain In the woods.
"We hail no Idea of the danger and t
was not until we heard the axrful roar
of fl: incs that we attempted to escape. 'Vc
rau at full speed.

"My father and myself would have die 1
were It not for the thoutfbtfulnesj of
Christ Jorgcuson who clung to Ills blanket

he plunged the blanket hi the water end
we all hung to It nnd after reman.in.; In

hie ordeal."
Robert M'Tnnes of Winter Road River
Blid his son, John, with a hired tnu'i and I
a German neighbor were twelve hours iu
tlie water, and telling of his experience,
says :
PRAYED I OR HEATH
"God Almighty could not send a strong-
er wind than that nor a more terr hie ex-
perience As I lay in the water with a
blanket over my head, stones blown In 1
the air caused these wounds lu m.v f ice

foie the fire would burn me"
The tug Lobster turned turtle Inst night
on the Ainer.can side of the river picking
up refugees. Nine passengers, including
five women, were on board. They esi-autd
with nothing worse than a wetting, ilie
rescue being comparatively easy.

Malcom, a village settlement east of
Try gyle, lias not been heard from since
the outbreak of trouble. All the land about
there has been taken up and homesteaders
and their families have been snared. It Is
feared. No report can be heard from that
place. Ail around It was a furnace at Instr
accounts. Camel Is another village. It bad
a postoffice and a group of stores and a
few scores of Inhabitants. It has not been
heard from. No one knows what the fate
of the people there has been. The fire
swept through the district nnd by the
villages and is raging now ten tulles be-
low it. There ure a score of other post-
offices In this sectlou. No reports have
been received from them.
It has'been conservatively
estimated by local theatre men
that more than ten thousand

Paris, Oct. 11. The etunloyes of the
Northern France Railway have suddenly
