War Road, Minn., Oot. 11. Desola tion and sorrow reign today over thousands of square miles which a few days before was a great timber belt, and thriving villages. ' Three hundred bodies must be cared for at Rainy River alone, according to pri vate advices. That town Is crowded with half starved refugees, many of whom' are badly burned and suffer ing from lack of sufficient medical treatment. The rush of the flames before a high wind today threatened the destruction of Ralnlner, ' Ragley and Clearbrook and back firing is the "only hope. The women were sent out but the men are remaining to fight. Aid for the rUugees which are crowding War Road is being sent from Winnipeg. The fire zone has been placed unde: martial law In the Beaudette district following the ar rival of the stite militia. Caloi and Clementson are reported burned. Stories of wild animals fleeing for safety side by side with human be iiig: of mothers burned to death with babies in their brensts, and of men cremated while endeavoring to shield their children, are among the tales of horror brought In. The Duluth express, when !t ar rived here yesterday, brought many refugees from the scene of the con flagration. The engineer of the train thus des cribed the situation: "If the fire keeps on the way It Is going there will be mighty little left of the population of that part of Min nesota. "For miles around Beaudette and Spooner. Wis., where there were largo traots of bush, it is now swept clear, "There have been forests In that part of the country for such a long time that the earth Is practically peat and when a tree fell It set fire even to the roots and the earth around the roots. "From my engine. It appeared that every timber mill In the country had been burned except that of the Shev lln Matthieu company, which Is safe. All the lumber In the yards, however, burned like a flash. When we passed through, all the territory near the trnck had been burned over and was still smoldering. "All the ties of. the road have been charred. "We stopped every little while to take-on people but most of them got off Just outside the danger zone so they could go back to what was left of their homes after the fire was down." One of the most thrilling stories of the situation Is given by Mrs. Townsend of War Road, a refugee on the Duluth train. She said: "Two train loads of people left War Road last night after midnight, but we do not know whether they reach ed a place of safety. The town of Beaudette is wholly deserted." Wants Big Race.

ROESCH N RANSACKED BY ROBBERS Opera Cloak and jlcwrlrv Are Amon Articles Stolen Believed Woman ...Implicated in Deed. ... ... . One of the most successful and daring dayllghfhouee burglaries ever committed in Pendleton occurred yes terday ' morning in the fashionable Water street residence district. Jew elery and clothing to the value of several hundred dollars were taken from the home of William Roesch at the Junction of Water and Lewis street, though the family have not yet been able to furnish the officers with a complete list of the articles taken. No member of the family was at home. That there may have been a woman implicated in the btrglary is thought possible by the fact that among oth er things taken was the beautiful op era cloak of Miss Freda Roesch. Rings and other articles of jewelry belong ing to Miss Roesch as well as some belonging to her mother were also taken. One of the most regretable fea tures of the theft is the fact that among the articles of Jewelry taken were some which had been presented by relatives and friends and which because of their associations were therefore worth many times as much to the owners than to anyone else. Though the officers have been no tified, they have nothing but a de scription of some of the articles ta ken upon which to work. They, therefore have small hopes of being able to apprehend the guilty parties, for It is believed that more than one person was Implicated in the crime. Hitchcock to 8cak. Kansas City. Mo., Oct. 11.
