FOREST FIRES BURN
MINNESOTA TOWNS
Winnipeg Scores of lives have been
lost in a great forest fire which raged
along the Canadian border In the
Rainy River country and in Northern
Minnesota. The towns of Beaudette,

have been wiped out and refugees
from the burning district who fled
into Rany River report seeing many
charred corpses along the roadside in
the ' burned district and the loss ol
millions of dollars worth of property.
The fire was entirely unexpected. In
the laBt summer , there were many
great fires in this same region, but the
fighters had about subdued them
when oft of the northwest of the
Rainy River country there appeared a
great fire which swept through the
dried timber, carried in its onward
rush by a heavy gale, and, soon be
yond control, it caught the unwarned
settlers in its path of death and de
structlon.
The Canadian Northern railway es
timates the loss of life between Rainy
River and Warroad at 40, all being
settlers and their families.
