Oct. 9.— lJeudette. Spooner. Pitt and Gracetown. Minn., \u25a0were wiped off the map by a forest nre. The bodies of 75 victims have been located, and it is thought the death rate among settlers will be up ward of 300. Wagonloads of human bodies are be brought Into the railway station , at Beaudette. It is reported that many settlers," crazed with grief at the loss of fam-' Elites and property, are roaming the woods and searching parties are look for the injured, the dead and demented. One family of nine, one of seven,' and one of five perished on Friday night A tornado of fire struck Baudette and Spooner at 8:30 p. m. Saturday, and within three minutes after the first alarm every building -was ablaze. "Within half an hour they were heaps of ashes. The people of these two towns had just enough»time to get out of their homes wjth what they had on their backs. They were loaded on a passenger train that was standing at the depot and taken to Rainy River, Ontario. WHOLE COUNTRY ABLAZE The whole country east of here is on nre. Roosevelt, Swift, Williams 2nd Cedar Spur are in great danger. All the women and children are be- Jng rapidly removed to places of B&fety. The Canadian Northern rail way has stationed trains at every sta tion, and is doing- everything in its power to relieve the situation. The people of "Beaudette and Spooner f.nd the settlers all through the north central part of the state have lost everything.

WIND SAVES ROOSEVELT "The wind shifted tonight and carried the flames away from Roosevelt and ;;r.less }t changes again the twon will bp saved. Canadian Northern trains have been ?tai!c-d here since Friday night, when .1 fre!g-ht train went through a bridge neat" Pitt. The crew was saved and Conductor Monahan walked into Beau detie, which he reported as destroyed, ••r.ly the water tank, the schoolhouse walls and the depot standing. Mona han says he walked over dead bodies on the way, but could not say how many. Many settlers took to the woods and have not been heard from since. . A mother and five children are known to have been burned. The fires are still rag-ng and the smoke is dense. Sa loons in Roosevelt were closed by the mayor. The dead, as far as known, are: Katherine Jasper, 55, domestic for Al bert Berg, Baudette; John Golvin, 45, homesteader, four miles from Beau dette. wife and three small children, two g-irls and a boy. Katherine Jasper fought her would be rescuers with a butcher knife and I-erished in the home of her employer. The missing include 2,000 residents of Beaudette, Spooner and Pitt, some of whom are dead, but the most of them are safe in Rainy River and the adjacent towns on the Canadian side of the line. Many homesteaders and farmers are in the brush for a dis tance of 100 miles east and 20 miles south. Of these nothing can be learned for some time as searching parties dare not penetrate the smoking forests. COLMA AND VISTA GRANDE HAVE TWO BAD FIRES Five Laborers' Cottages and Bakers' Building Destroyed [Special Dizpatch to The Call] COLMA, Oct. 9. — Owing to a shortage of fire apparatus two sections of this district were threatened with general conflagrations Saturday night. Only the quick work of volunteer bucket bri gades saved the surrounding property. A coal oil stove exploded in the home of a laborer in Hillcrest drive, Vista Grande, at 11 o'clock. Within a few jr.lnutes five buildings were burning and In half an hour all were destroyed. Men. scantily dressed, rushed from nearby houses and prevented further loss. .."."::\u25a0-; .. \u25a0\u25a0 : Seven DunUlea were left homeless by the flr« at V'Pla Grande, but they were given temporary refuge in the vicinity. Two hours later the unoccupied two story frame building of the Colma bak ing company in Werner avenue was In fames. Here, also, buckets were pressed into use, but 1t was found impossible to prevent the destruction of the bak ing; company's building. This fire is thought to have been of Incendiary origin. . \u25a0--.-;;-. ARMED MEN r ROB BANK IN PRESENCE OF CROWD /Managers Forced to Lead the - Bandits to the Vault VANCOUVER. B.

At high tide the tugs were ' ordered to go full speed ahead.
