The Story of Loos to Life end Property In crease# la Magnitude ae the Work Progresses- Heavy Rainfall has Extinguished the Flree. Duluth, Minn., September 5.—Not a single human habitation has been left standing except a section house at Miller in a stretch of territory twenty- six miles long and nearly as wide; and in every part of the track of the flames, bodies of men, women, children, horses and cattle were found. The position of every body found outside of Hinckley shows that shelter of some kind was sought by the agonized sufferers, and the dead are found in holes, behind overturned stumps, trees, msrshy de pressions, and in every water course. The general shape of the fire-swept dis trict is like a huge cigar, with a south western end about Mission creek and the upper terminal a few miles east of Finlayson or Rutledge. Settlers and Their Homes Gone. From this a number of branches ex tend northward to beyond the tracks of the Eastern Minnesota railway. The work of the flames has been complete and cyclonic in character. Where the fire held sway not a single tree Is standing except as a blackened stump. Thousands of overturned trees are lying prostrate and the roots were burning fiercely up to last evening, when the welcome rain fell. A careful canvass reveals the fact that seventy- two settlers' homes, outside of towns, fell. As near as can be learned about 500 people were in these homes. At Brookdale. a little town on the Eastern Minnesota railroad, south of Hinckley, about ninety persons took refuge in the water of a small creek. Out of this place sixty-seven dead bodies were taken and buried and some thirty liv ing persons were rescued, some badly burned. Hundreds of people, including those of the very highest social standing In the city, hare been working day and night since Saturday night, having or ganized thoroughly Into all needed sub committees, and have, in a systematic way, taken care of men and women, children and babies.

The rest of the family had gone to Sandstone.

The train picked up the bodies of Little and Elder, two operators of the North American telegraph company, who had been sent out to the scene of the trouble.

It was learned that Pine lake, a set tlement seven miles west of Finlayson, was untouched, bnt nothing has been heard of Sand lake, a settlement away from the railroad, and it is feared it has gone up in smoke. The burial train reached Hinckley at 0 p. m. The coroner of Pine county said there were 271 bodies already picked up in Hinckley alone, with more to follow. They were piled up in boxes and coffins near the track like so much cord wood. PRESIDENT PHINIZY RETIRES. New O IB ears of the Weetera Railway of Alabama Elected by the Director*.
