Clin ago, Sept. 3. Reports to the
Tribune from portions of Minnesota,
Michigan anil Wisconsin, in which
forest fires are raging, show that the loss
of property at a low estimate has already
reached $12,000,OiK), not including stand
ing timber destroyed, but even worse is
the loss of life, which it is feared, will
reach as high as 1,000. Aliont 20 towns
have been destroyed, driving thousands
of families from homes.

Settlers.
Hincki.kv, Minn., Sept. .! Gentle
rains arc fulling today and quenching
the burning embers of the immense
forest (ires that did so much damage to
this city. The blackened ruins of two or
three buildings are all that remains
standing of the once prosperous town of
Hinckley, with 1700 people, and its
busy railroad and lumbering interests.
The town is the junction point of the
St. Paul and Duluth & Kastern railways
of Minnesota, and both of these roads
have suffered losses that cannot now be
estimated, w hile the loss to the limber
interest is something beyond computa
tion. This is today a place of mourning,
and the burial of the charred and un
recognizable bodies of the hundreds of
victims has saddened the survivors even
more than the disaster itself. The fire
was so overwhelming in immensity thut
none, in the TBrst terror of the moment,
could realize how great was the loss.
Kadi was so intent in saving bis own
lifu that little thought was given to the
disaster in general by most, although
many cases of unselfish heroism have
beon reported. Tho bodies thus far re
covered have been placed in rough pine
boxes for burial, and the majority bur
ied without a k nowledge of their iden t ity.
The wires that were down this side of
P'ne City have been to far put in shape,
and the Associated Press operator is
able to send his report as be sits on an
empty keg in the open air, there being
mi shelter of any kind in town. Most of
the survivors went to Pine City yester-
lay for food and shelter, and the women
and children ate still there, but many
men have returned to their ruined
homes to see if by any possibility any
thing remains.
The limited train that left Duluth at
t 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon hail an ex
i H-rierice north of this place that will
! plaen the entire crew on the roll as
, heroes. They came to within a mile
' ami a half of this place through the
i smoke, although Knginrer lioot could
not see 100 feet away. Fires were bear-
ing down on on them from every side,
and there seemed no chance for their
j lives but to go ahead. The number of
fleeing homefctnuders and residents of
) this place was so great that finally the
j engine was topped, ami as many as
could get aboard the train were taken
on. .Meantime the engineer s clothes
caught fire ns did-nlso those of the fire
man, and both men seemed overcome
with the fury of the flames, which had
seized on the engine. Fireman Mc
Gowan put out the fire on his own
clothes by jumping into the water tank
and threw water on engineer ltoot, who
staid at his poet holding the throttle and
nerving himself to stand to his duty,
though he perished. There eeemed to
be no chance ahead. The train was
backed at full speed as soon as the refu
gees were aboard nntil the swamp near
Skunk lake, six miles north, was
rea(.tjeai where t(ie pa,eengPrs ana CVer
o-q re.iuvnt8 of Him.klev. who bad
hoard"d the train, buried themselves in
mud. They remained there through the
night, and early tu the morning were
brought down the road. Many cars
were badly burned aud much shattered
j by the exierience. The windows on the
(.oa(.i1(!8 were burst by I he heat, and a
,,,r,vr ,.i .,, i.,.3,
by ex
citement and terror, and threw them
selves out of the w indows to their deaths.
The cars were all on tire before the!
sw amp wa9 reached, and the entire train j
was 9O0n in ashes, tt e tender being also j
burned. j
Kngineer Uoot was taken to his home j
at White Bear. His physicians hope he I
may recover, although inhaling the hot
fumes, smoke and air may lie too much j
for bim. The glass in the cab windows
broke and be was badly cut about the 1
head, while his clothes were nearlv !
burned from his liody. One piece of
glass laid bare his jugular and it Feetus
mi raculoos he escaped alive. His only
j thought w as for the safety of his passen
j gers. He said in reply to the remark
I thut he had heroine the hero of the
j country : "I only did my duty."

,B,.u I u tlinilch nn ilnlifnto rtou-s ta-aa
received. A remarkable thing connected j
with this uccident is the fact that only a ;
few feet in front of where the train w as j
ditched a bridge had been burned, which
would have caused a very serious acci
dent, with a certain loss of life. It is
not thought any other trains have been
caught in the iirtc. None are runnine
today. All the bridges have burned and
iu some places the track is useless, rails
being twisted out of shape and the ties
burned. Only one dead body has ls?en
found at this place this morning, and is
likely the dead here will not exceed 200,
the figure given last night. All the
bodiis w ill be buried today, as it w ill be
impossible to keep them any longer.
A call has been sent to the Twin Cities
for more shovels and men to bury the
dead, and they will get here on a relief
train during the afternoon.
Northwestern Wisconsin Ablase.
Cm item a F. M.S. Wis., Sept .3. North
western Wisconsin is one sea of flames,
and reports are coming to this city cons

from Caddot, asking for assistance. A
force from Chippewa was sent up, and
until 10:p.m. last bight 100 inhabitants
of the village struggled to preserve their
homes. At 10J o'clock the tire bad
abated in the immediate vicinity of Cad
dot. Two miles away, in a dense foreet,
which terminates at the limits of the
town, the woods are in a blaze, and the

No news has been received from the
party sent to rescue the village.
