CREMATED !N
BURNING TRAIN
Many Refugees Are Roasted to
Death While Trying to Es
cape from forest fires.
By Cable tu The Daily Gateway
Detroit, Oct. 19—The forest fires
have destroyed several towns and the
people have tied for their lives. Refu
gees escaping from Metz boarded a;
train which was later surrounded by
llames, some of the passengers escaped
badly burned through tlie llames and
some being roasted to death. The
engineer lost both eyes and the fire
man jumped into the water tank and
was scalded to death. Three mothers
in a steel car were cremated. At least
fifty people are known to be burned to
death. The condition of many of the
people in the burned district is pitia
ble. Relief trains are hurrying aid to
those who have lost all, and to those
who are suffering. The flames are
now* believed to be slowly dying out.
Father Would Be Sorry
Rachel, who was four years old,
was admiring her baby brother, who
was three months old before his father
returned from a trip abroad. Looking
up at her mother she said, “Mama,
won’t papa be sorry he isn't any rela
tion to this baby?”
Steamer Corwin
The steamer Corwin arrived from
Nome reaching this port soon after
midnight, but owing to the strong
wind from the north she could not tie
up to the dock for sometime. All her
passenger accommodations were taken
when she left Nome. There are about
a half dozen passengers who will stop
at Seward. The Corwin had a rough
passage from Nome, and after remain
ing here for twenty-four hours she will
proceed on her way to Seattle taking
the inside route.

twenty-five miles from this port when
