Burned Over-Relief Train
With Death As the Engi
neer-Terrible Suffering
DETIiOlT, Mich., Oct. 1(1. It is ro
ported here that a tram bearing 200
refugees from Metz has been hemmed
in by forest fires nud that all are prob
ably dead. Metz has been entirely des
troyed.
After the flames had surrounded
Metz Pttempts to save the buildings
of tho place seemed futile. Tho inhab
itants gathered at tho railroad station
and boarded a train for Millersburg. 20
miles away.
Word from Millersburg says that the
train was ditched three miles from
Metz in the heart of the burning for
est. The fires nre spreading rapidly, ac
cording to dispatches, which give re
ports of the fire, received here contin
ually. It is believed that a number of
small towns have been wiped out.
ALPENA, Mich., Oct. lfi. The whole
of northwestern Michigan is burning.
The flames already have swept four
counties nnd the loss of life is heavy.
It is believed that if reports could be
ohtained the results of tho fires would
to the most appalling in the history of
this part of the country.
Fourteen women nnd children are said
to have been burned to death at Metz.
There is practically no hope for tho 200
refugees who left the city on the rolief
train that was wrecked in the burning
forest.
One refugee who arrived from Metz
today says that very few escaped and
that he believes practically the whole
pnpul.it ion of tho town, miiiilorinR mnr I

Among those known to have lost, their
lives on the relief train wero John Vin-
In, engineer; Arthur Lee, fireman,
and W ill in m Lee, brakeman. These
three men stayed by the train and tried
to get it back on the tracks white the
passengers fled beforo the roaring fires.
This city caught fire by sparks car
ried here by the winds, it was thoifgM,
is doomed nlso, but by desperate efforts
the flames wero controlled. Several
buildings were destroyed.

COMMITTEE
EXCITEMENT AS
E
Mrs. Hearst Runs Scream
ing Into the Aisle of Car
When Door Is Broken
. OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 10. William R.
Hearst was served with papers in a
suit for $000,000 damages brought by
Governor Charles N. Haskell of Okla
homa (lis he was passing through this
city enrly today.
A deputy sheriff with tho papers
boarded the train, but found tho door
to Hearst's stateroom locked. He
knocked on the door and Mrs. Hearst
said that her husband had gono to the
station to send a telegram.
The sheriff nnnounced that he would
force his way into tho stateroom if tho
door were not opened. There was no
response. The officer then, using his
shoulder ns n bnttering ram, forced the
room and almost fell into tho room.
Mrs. Hearst Frightened.
Mrs. Hearst, partially dressed, rushed
screaming into the aisle of the ear.
The officer wns not dismnyed by tho
sight of the freightened woman or her
screams, but, still convinced that Hearst
was in hiding, he made his way to the
toilet room adjoining the stateroom nnd
began kicking violently against tho
door. He probably would have broken
this door down in a few seconds if
Hearst had not appeared and accepted
service of the papers.
After the exciting scene, which nenr-
ly caused a panic among tho pnssengera
of the train, he advised that the sum- .
mons was unexpected nnd he had no
idea what the man wanted. He said
that he had refused the officer be
cause he and his wife had retired nnd -
that they were not prepared to receive
strangers in their private apartments.
Mrs. Hoarst Recovers.
M rs. Hearst quickly recovered her
nmposuro, but remained in tho state
room.
Hearst said that he had no idea of
avoiding service and asserted that tho
aggressiveness ot t he ott icer was en-
tireh unwarranted.
The suit was filed at 10 o'clock last
night nnd the papers were immediately
issued and put in the hands of the offi
cer.
The deputy sheriff went to tho sta
tion two hours beforo tho train arrived
and waited in order to be certain not to
miss Hnrst,
The suit is based on the statements
of Hearst thai Haskell was and is the
agent of the Staidaril Oil company.
The sensational scene on tho train was
sequel to the thrilling events which
led ti Hie resignation of Governor Has
kell as treasurer of the democratic na
tional committee and caused tho biggest
excitement of the presidential campaign.
