Made Homeless.
Detroit, June 22.—Fires in North­
ern Michigan forests, fanned to great
proportions by the gales of the last
two days, have destroyed at least
three villages, rendered hundreds
homeless, swept over thousands of
acres of timber land and caused dam­
age estimated at about $21)0,000.
The heaviest loss has been sus­
tained in Presque Isle and Cheboy­
gan counties, although
Lelanau,
Charlevoix and Otsego have also suf-
fered.
In many towns today lamps were
lighted, as the sun was obscured by
the heavy smoke.
The village of Case, in Presque Isle
county, was destroyed today, A spe­
cial train conveyed rile homeless vil-
lagers to Onoaway, where they were
sheltered tonight.
Legande, a little town in Cheboy-
gan county, was also abandoned to
the flames tonight. Many women and
children were taken in wagons to In­
dian River.
While a big fire at Wolverine today
was being fought, a forest fire threat­
ened another section of the village.
While the Wolverine department was
engaged, a call for aid was received
from Rondeau, three miles north.
The firemen could not leave Wol­
verine. and Rondeau was at the mercy
of the flames. A hotel, several stores
and houses and the Michigan Central
station were burned.
In Lelanau county a great fire raged
near Fouche. All night the glow of
the fire could be seen at Traverse
City, 12 miles away. Several farm
buildings were destroyed, and Fan­
nett's big lumber yard was wiped out.
Much valuable timber was burned.
