Fires are raging on all Hides at

fctruttlon will spread. Should the fire
cross the rlvor and enter the town,
fis now seems likely, the entire place
will he doomed.
In Fertile the loss of life was great
est In the west end, where the flames
tqneud so rapidly It wan Impossible
lor the inhabitants to outrun the up-pro-idling
heat. Searching parties
lime been sent out for those who
were overcome In the bush. Bodies
nr being ro tight In every hour.
Apcordlng to a competent author

nnd the dinth Hut total will never be
known.
Loggers .o the number of eighty in
the camps of the ISlk Lumber com

several settlers with their families,
who lived on the line of the railroad
between Fernlo and Michel, have dis
appeared. When the flames were consuming
Pernio all the prisoners, with the ex
ception of live Dlackhand suspects,
wero released. Later they were re
capturod and sent to Nelson.
That the Slavs at Fernte are mak

could be sent Immediately. '
Havoc at Fernle.
In Fertile the only buildings remain
ing are six small shacks on the batiks
of the Elk river, the ofllces of the
Crows Nest Coal company and the
Flkcs woodwure house. The ofllces of
the Canadian Pacific railroad and the
Great Northorn are gone, together
with all of the rolling stock in tho
yards. One hundred ears of coke, the
property of tbe Great Northern, are
gone and the stock piles of coal ami
coke, holding about 500,000 tons, are
In flames. It Is now feared that tho
tire may get Into the mines them
selves, several of which aro open in
the neighborhood. This will mean In
calculable damage, as tho whole of
the valley Is underlaid with coal.
At present tho fire Is following tho
crest of the mountain chain above
Sparwood, eating down Into the val
leys ou either side. It Is traveling
at a tremendous rate, and unless
there Is a change of wind It will
cross the boundaries Into Montana
within the next twelve hours. There
are thousands of mines uiul prospec
tors' claims In the truck of tho fire,
nil of which are In peril. A slight
change of wind tins occurred and
Michel has been taken out of tho di
rect path.
Fire fighting apparatus Is of no
avail, for the air Is filled with frag
ments of burning wood nnd sheets of
flame seem to leap ahead of the con
flagration as though the air Itself wa3
in flames. The heat Is Intense and
many of the Are lighters have gone
down ahead of It.

nent San Francisco People Occurs
Near Suburb of Burllngame.
The second auto accident within
forty-eight hours, Involving prominent
San Francisco people, occurred near
IJurllngame, the fashionable suburb
near that city, when a huge tonneau,
occupied by five women and two chil
dren, plunged down a steep embank
ment as tho result of the stinppltig of
the brakes and caused tin1 death of
five of the occupants and Injuring of
two others.

McCormlck, shoulder sprained.
Tho party had been on a visit to the
home of Prince Ponlatowskl, In tho
hills ueur Burllngarao, and was re
turning to San Mateo, where both
families have their summer homes.
Coming down a steep grade near
Crjstal lake, Miss Ethel McCormlck,
who was at the wheel; endeavored to
check tho speed' of the car by apply
ing the foot biake. It fulled to hold
the automobile, which was rapidly
gaining a dangerous headway down
the hill, and Miss McCormlck hastily
threw on the emergency brakes. They
snapped almost Instantly.
Fearing that she could not guide the
huge car in safety to the bottom ot
the grade on account of tho sharp
turns In the road, the young woman
endeavored to steer It against the
high bank on the right. The front
wheel, however, struck a largo rock,
swerved to the left, and the next mo
ment the car plunged down the steep
embankment, striking head-on thirty
five feet below against a large tree.
f3o terrific was the force with which
the automobile struck the tree that
the occupants were shot out of the
car as from a catapult, landing on
another road' twenty feet further
down Mrs. McCormlck, her daughter,
Clara, and Infant son of, Mrs. O'Brien
struck on their heads and were In
stantly killed. Mrs. Ira O'Brien and

Chicago and Cincinnati Police Search
ing for F. J. Blair.
The search for "F. J. Blair,"
who abducted Veronica Cassldy from
her home at Chicago and took
her to Cincinnati, is at a standstill,
so far as the Chicago police aro con
cerned. Acting, however, on the
chance that "Blair" might attempt to
return, the authorities kept a close
watch of all railroad stations, al
though their chief hope now Is that
the Cincinnati police may be able
either to apprehend the man or fur
nish a clew to his whereabouts.
The Cassldy home at 184 Peoria
street was the inecca for hundreds
of curiosity stimulated persons. The
news of the girl's return and her story
of the treatment "Blair" accorded her
aroused the neighborhood and the
fi lends and acquaintances of the fam
ily were augmented by visitors from
all parts of the city. The throng
about the house became so great
that a police guard was stationed
there.
