way relief train, which was carrying
tho inhabitants of the little village of
Metz, twenty-three miles north of
Alpena, to safety from tho forest fires. (
which were sweeping away their j
homes. Tho III fated train was ditched
by spreading rails at Nowlckl siding, a '
few miles south of Metz, and the ter
rified refugees were forced to abandon
tho cars and rush for safety, either
down the track, with' burning forests'
on either side, or into the plowed
fields near the siding. Eleven of the
victims were women and children,
who were unable quickly enough to
leave the gondola car which they were
occupying. Their charred bodies were
found thero when rescuers reached
the scene. Two of the victims were
men of the train crew. Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Wagner died from heat and ex
haustion near the scene of the wreck
and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nowlckl, Jr.,
lost their lives In their burning house
near where the wreck occurred
Following Is the list of dead lu the
wreck: William Barrett, brakeman;
Arthur Lee, fireman; John Konieczuy,
Mrs. John Konieczny, Jr., Joseph Kon
leczny, Helen Kollnz. KonleczUy, aged

Margaret Cicero, George Cicero, aged

Mrs. Emma Hardies, Pauline Hardies,
aged nine; Mary Hardies, aged three;
Minnie Hardies, aged eight months.
Delay Proves Disastrous.
When the forest fires closed in
about the little village a special train
'of thre'e empty boxcars and two coal
gondolas was rushed to Metz la
charge of John KInvllle, conductor;
William Forster, engineer; Arthur
Lee, fireman, aud William Barrett,
brakeman. As rapidly as possible the
people and their goods were loaded
Into the cars. Some refused to aban
don their goods or the train might
have left earlier and have reached
Alpena In safety. When the train
finally started there were about 100
frightened , people aboard. The flames
were already sweeping through the
village. Engineer Foster started his
train for Alpena. Nearlng Nowlckl
crossing, ho saw blazing piles of ties
on both sides of the track. Opening
wide the throttle, he tried .to dash
through at full speed, but tho heat
had loosened the rails and they had
spread and the train left the tracks.
The blazing piles of ties surrounded It
and In an Instant the cars caught fire.
I The Jterror stricken people, caught by
City, Omaha and St Paul, as It was
not known over what lino he would
travel to the east.
The papers are returnable Oct. 26,
