R PIRATES ACCUSED OF
ARTING THE FLAMES.
TO COVER UP ALL TRACES OF FRAUD.
The State Senatorial Investigating Com-
mit tee Said to Have Strong Evidence
to I IiIh Effect—Lumbermen Fired
the Fine Kenuianti to ltender
Measurement of Ntump-
s i;e Impossible.
St. Clovd, Minn., Sept. to.—There
are strong intimations that the state
senatorial committee, which has for
months been estimating* the frauds
against tlr -J in the cutting1 of
pine from the school lands, will be
able to show that not only tin "tim-
ber pirates" appropriated millions of
dollars worth of lumber belonging to
the state, but that in trying to cover
up their stealings they started the
fires which have resulted in the terri-
ble loss of life and property in Vine,
Kanabec, Carlton and other counties
iu the pine belt.
The charge is that the lumbermen
have fired the pine remnants on the
lands which they improperly clcarcd
to render measurement of stum page
impossible and thereby shut oft' any
suits which the commission might at-
tempt to bring against them.
A man employed by the commission
to ferret out cases of lumber thieving
declares that he has secured sworn
•evidence that millions of feet of lum-
ber had been stolen and that as soon
as it had been cut the lumbermen had
instructed their employes to burn the
ground over and "make a good, clean
job of it." This is a possible explana-
tion of most of the fires that have
swept this region.
The lumbermen, in cutting their
timber, leave great piles of "top-
pings" all through the woods. A
torch thrust here and there into the
piles of toppings in such a dry season
as this starts a tremendous tire that
cats the stumps from which lumber
has been cut down to lumps of char-
coal,and when the gaugers of the com-
mission come to measure the stump-
age on the ravaged school lands they
are left with absolutely no basis for
calculating the amount of lumber
stolen.
The fires have spread over 1,000
square miles of country, have de-
stroyed nobody can tell how many
hundred of human lives, and $20,000,-
ooo worth of property. Whether or
not it can be proved that these tires
grew out of the little ones kindled by
••timber pirates" there is loud demand
all through the pine country that tli2
manner of cutting timber be severely
regulated.
A Duluth carrier from the Rainy
river brings news that the fires on the
Canadian border last week caused the
death of several families, nearly
twenty-five persons altogether.
CARDS AND CHIPS BURNED.
A Georgia Evangelist Converts Four
(•amblers and Destroys Their Articles.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 10.— While
Evangelist M. B.Williams was preacn-
ing at Columbia, Ala., lie converted
four gamblers who were in control of
the place. Then lie ordered them to
bring to him all their gambling arti-
cles. They did so and before an im-
mense congregation, cards, chips and
other devices were piled upon each
other so as to make quite a heap.
When the pile had been completed,
and while the reformed gamblers
were standing around it, the preacher
struck a match and,applying it to the
pile, soon had a bright tire burning.
Meanwhile the congregation sang
hymns and prayed until the tire died
out.
One hundred and seventy-seven
joined the church, the number of old
men in the list being notable. One
hundred families in the list promised
to establish family altars.
•'It was the worst hole I ever got
into," said Evangelist Williams, "but
I now feel that it will be one of the
most sanctified places on the conti-
nent. Straight talk is what appeals
to the people."

OUT CF DEATH VALLEY.
A Surveying Party Iteturos After Ilecld-
edly Unpleasant Experiences.
Sax Francisco, Sept 10.—Special
| Agent H. 1 . Martin of the United
States land oftice at Washington has
returned from Death valley, after
four and a half months' absence.
He went in to do some survey-
ing of claims of private citizens
to a portion of the region, lie
and his party entered the valley by
way of Tulo canyon and examined
the country for sixty or seventy miles
to the south. They were at Town's
pass and camped for some time near
Furnace creek. Sand storms pre-
vailed almost daily and the heat was
intense. Part of the time they could
not get water and they had to
bring it a distance on pack horses.
"Our main stock of meat was ba-
con," said Martin. "Wo could not
get a particle of fresh meat, so we
ate the big lizards of the desert which
the Digger Indians eat They tasted
a good deal like frogs. All our pota-
toes rotted as soon as we got into the
desert and we had no vegetables of
any sort. The only thing that helped
us out was canned fruit. The ordeal
was so severe that each man lost
some fifteen or twenty pounds of
flesh and all grew weak. Before 1
would go into it again I think 1
would resign. There are many
strange insects there—things I never
saw before. There are also ^ many
horned rattlesnakes «r side winders.
We killed sixteen of them. There arc
also many poisonous scorpions in the
valley. At a lonely place in Mesquite
valley, we found an old wagon bed, a
tire and several old irons, relics of
the famous emigrant train of
forty people of which lost their lives.
