town of 1 'olcuma is wiped out. The
eastern Minnesota train which left St.
Paul at 1 :.*>0 o'clock Saturday afternoon
nnd arrived at Hinckley Saturday night
took 800 people on hoard and moved
westward toward St. ( loud. The train
has not been heard of since. It has not
reached St. Cloud nnd has not gone hack
to Hinckley. There has been a general
four that it has been burned with all on
board. There is no chance that they
are alive, unless they have found a
stream or slouch into which they could
go and escape the fire. Kverv family
in I'okoma is homeless and In danger
of starving to death.
Llw? Vet In Dancer.
A freight train is in a diteli one and a
half miles west of l'okama. Twentyfive
people are in the caboose and the
fire is all around them. If they are not
rescued soon all must perish. Hans
Nelson, section foreman at l'okama,
started away yesterday afternoon with
his family on a handcar to escape the
lire, and nothing has since been seen
or heard of them. It is certain that
they have perished.
A St. Louis special says the Creat
Northern road is doing all in its power
to reach fire-stricken Hinckley. Kver
since Saturday afternoon work trains
have l>een .. iiuuuiiift fnirne<t
bridges, and afl the men that can be
used are being rushed to the front.
Three large bridges were down. The
officials expect to get into Hinckley
about noon today. The scenes at the
front where the work trains are engaged
are frightful. One crcw-go'iorU
?d that They* saw Hmu(.s on
a house close to the track. The place
was enveloped in fire before the people
could escape. The workmen were powerless
to render any assistance although
thev were so close flint time
could hear the people screaming astb-.i'
were lieinff cremated.

Saturday wternoon.
Mrs. Aaurence says the first evidence
of t'r<" "re was notioealde about ten
,?/(es north of llickley when the air became
almost suffocating. One mile
north of llickley a number of persons,
Mrs. Laurence estimates the number at
fifty, rushed toward the train screaming
frantically. The engineer seeing
the danger they were in if they remained,
stopped the train to let them
aboard. The heat became intense
and the whole volcano of fire seemed to
burst, out in a michtv efTort to wipe
train and its occupants off the face of
the earth.
I'nnle With No Humanity.
Mrs. Laurence describing the scene
said: "At the first rush of. the Haines
toward the cars the window panes bust
with n loud report, and the train began
slowly to return toward Skunk Lake.
People screamed ami men jumped
through the ear windows. The wild
panic was horrible. There was 110 humanity
in it. Every person was
for himself and did not care how lie
got out of the swirling, rushing avalanche
of flumes. My dress caught lire
but I extinguished the flumes.
"I saw two Chinamen. 1 can remember
the scene as if before mc now. They
were pnralized by fright and made 110
effort to get away but simply hid their
heads under tlicir seats and were burned
to death. I stood it as long as I

The fire liad burned away and after
running until my strcnghl gave out
I fell down between the rails. I expected
every minute that my dress
would be burned from iny body. I put
out the Haines in my dress half dozen
times, and I had to hold my hands over
the baby's face in order to keep it from
suffocating."
Sunday morning Mrs. Laurence was
picked mip in the middle of the track
two miles from ilickley by a relief
party from Dulutn, which made the
trip on a handcar.
The site of Ilickley, says Mrs. Laurence.
is nothing but a blackened waste
with t he bodies of dead and injured
persons lying everywhere.
