PERISHED 111
BURNED HOME
A MOTHER AND CHILDREN MEET
DEATH IN THE EARLY
MORNING.
A MOST PITIFUL CASE.
Bereft Husband and Father Returns
From Work to Find Only Ruins of
Home.
In a fire which destroyed the farm
home of Edward Ryal near Oak
Grove, early Thursday, Mrs. Ryal and
two children. Donna, aged 2, and Al
vlra, 4 months old, were burned so
badly that they died shortly after
ward. Another child, Olive, aged 6, Is
in a serious condition.
Ryal had gone to a neighboring farm
early in the morning to begin work.
About 5 o'clock Olive awakened her
mother with the cry: "Mamma, mam
ma, what makes it so light?" The
mother discovered that the flames
were roaring through the house.
She rushed through the flames with
the baby and placed it beside the
house. Then she went back for another
child and Olive followed her to safety.
Believing the children were now safe,
the mother started back Into the
house to save some of the household
goods. Donna, however, toddled after
her, but as they stepped Into the door
the floor gave way and both were pre
cipitated Into the cellar. With her
clothes burned from her body, Mrs.
Ryal contrived to scramble ont. The
girl's body was later found, badly
charred.
The two children outside had been
burned by falling timbers. The baby
was found dead not far from the
house.
Olive and the mother were taken to
a nearby farm house, where Mrs. Ryal
died In the afternoon. The other child
Is not expected to survive.
When the father came home he be
came frantic with grief and his mind
was temporarily unbalanced.
Climax Hit.
Yeggman invaded Climax some time
during the night and made an attempt
to loot the Climax Exchange bank, but
without success. The first knowledge
of their having been active became
known Thursday morning when Lew
Walters, section foreman of the Grand
Trunk railroad, discovering the car
house had been entered, and heavy
tools removed. At the door of the tool
house he found $11 scattered about
and Walters Immediately notified the
marshal, who, while passing the bank
building, noticed the window open and
trols scattered about, while marks on
the furniture and walls showed the
6afe had been attacked. Nitro-glycer-ine
was used, but without effect other
than to damage the combination of the
safe.
Lost on the Lake.
Patrick Hury and his wife and Pe
ter Swanson and his son, fishermen
living on North Manitou Island, are
believed to have lost their bearings
In the pall of smoke which overhangs
Lake Michigan and to have perished
in the gale which raged over the lake
Monday.
The four left their homes In a
launch Monday afternoon to take up
some nets. Up to this morning noth
ing has been heard from them. A gale
was blowing from the east, and it Is
feared that their 'launch was carried
out into the lake. In the heavy sea is
is said that it would have been im
possible for them to have reached the
Wisconsin shore.
Unreliable Reports.
Some most unreliable reports of the
forest fires in central and northern
Michigan have been printed. However,
the Metz district on the Detroit &
Mackinac line, Is excepted. The hor
rors of the forest fires there hardly
could be exaggerated. The losses In
the Soo-Macklnaw district on tlmbei
are pretty heavy. They . are more
than heavy. A great amount of tim
ber has been burned over, and If it Is
not cut within a year or so borers will
get Into it. But nobody has individ
ually suffered a loss that will reach
$5,000. This refers to the entire Chip-pewa-Macklnaw
district.
Clark Captured.
Fred. Clark, one of the four inmates
of the Michigan Asylum for the Crim
inal Insane, who escaped several
weeks ago, was arrested in St. Louis,
Mo. Clark's arrest was. caused by
William Rushford, a traveling sales
man from Toledo, O., who was former
ly a guard at the asylum. While stand
ing In front of the Marquette hotel
Rushford saw Clark pass. He called up
the police by telephone, followed the
man two blocks and pointed him out
to the officer. Clark admitted his iden
tity. He was sentenced In 1903 to 15
years in Jackson for burglary. Five
months ago he was transferred from
Jackson to Ionia.
It is Bald that deer hunting will be
nothing less than slaughter this year.
The deer are collecting in clearing
and unburned tracts in the woods.
Scores of stories are told of deer
coming into barnyards. Thousands of
partridge have been killed by the
forest fires and It Is said that a
season's hunting will exterminate
them. There is a movement on foot
among hunters to refrain from hunt
ing this fall.
Mrs. Laura Glvens, of Memphis,
Tenn., and Mrs. S. E. Kldd. of Lan
sing, two sisters who had been parted
for nine years and did not know each
other's whereabouts, met under pe
culiar circumstances. Mrs. Givens
came to Lansing with her husband,
who is a traveling man. and went to
visit a dressmaker's shop. Just as
she entered by one door, her sister.
While aiding Mrs. Albert Mclntyre,
a nrlgnbor. In her housework, Mrs.
Ethel Bauman, aged 32, declared she
was "tlrr d of life," as her husband did
not seem to cure for her any more.
Later she was found dead of parls
green In her bedroom.
Railroad Earnings.
Railroad Commissioner Glasgow,
commenting upon the financial show
ing made by the Detroit & Mackinac
railroad, said that it is not fair to at
tribute decreased earnings to this
road. He has figures to show that the
road passenger earnings during the
first nine months of this year were
$205,000 as against $201,000 during the
same period last year. The Pontlac,
Oxford & Northern, another three
cent road, shows Increased earnings.
As to the Pere Marquette, which
was placed under the two-cent law.
Its reports show that its passenger
earnings for nine months of 1908 were
$2,73C,01G as compared to $2,C51,785
during the nine months of 1907, when
It was permitted to charge a three
cent fare. The Wabash, Michigan Cen
tral and Lake Shore railroads all show
increased passenger earnings this year
compared to last.
Hoffman Wants Pardon.
The prospects of being pardoned
from the Detroit house of correction,
to which Institution he was sentenced
for a term of not less than one year,
appear to be very dubious for Fred
Hoffmann, of Huronla beach fame, if
the letter written by Circuit Judge
Tappan to Gov. Warner has any weight
on the state executive. In the letter
the Judge reviews the case, and plain
ly tells why he imposed a prison sent
ence instead of a fine.
The Judge closed by saying: "I am
informed that a number of business
men and our best citizens have signed
a petition asking you to pardon Hoff
mann for this offense. I have no recom
mendation to make In the matter. I
Imposed a sentence that I believed to
be just and would Impose It again un
der like circumstances."
MICHIGAN ITEMS.

signed as chief clerk of the railroad

W. W. Wedemeyer. receiver of the
defunct Chelsea Savings bank, has

The supreme court has ordered a

ing the prisoner.

Alpena, Presque Isle and Montmo

tated by fire. There is not a county
north of Bay where there are not
from a dozen to 40 farmers who have
been burned out. In Gladwin county

titute families. The situation will be
brought before the fire relief com
mission appointed by Gov. Warner.

wealthy farmer four miles from Ma
son, placed an "Infernal machine," de
sicrned to set fire to his barn, in the

Lighting Forest Fires.
"In many ways this year's forest
fires have been tho worst I have ever
known," said Gifford Pinchot, chief of
the forestry bureau. "The whole north
ern half of the country has been at
tacked and the losses represent a
great drain on our timber supply.
"Fires raging during the last fe
weeks In the east have caused an al
most incalculable loss to watersheds
of important streams supplying power
for countless industries. In the Adir
ondacks the destruction has resulted
in marring one of the most useful
playgrounds.
"There is little or no difference be
tween the fires of 1908 and those of
other years, so far as causes are con
cerned. Unfortunately there is little
difference in the way people have met
them. In most states the fires have
been allowed to run until they threat
ened valuable property and only then
efforts were made to check them.
"The fire warden system has been
fairly successful in places but its
fundamental weakness is that it Is
not a preventive system. To begin
work after a fire has gained headway
means that chances are against check
ing it after it has done serious dam
age. "No fire fighting system has shown
itself really effective that did not pro
vide for ranger patrol."
Hard Times in England.
The English government's scheme
for immediate dealing with the ques
tion of the unemployed, which is daily
growing more urgent, while apparent
ly pleasing to a great portion of the
Liberal party, is condemned by the la
borites as Inadequate.
Premier Asquith frankly acknowl
edges that it is only a temporary ano
dyne, promising that the government
will later go into the root of the causes
of unemployment. The pith of the gov
ernment's proposal amounts to
doubling the grant to the central un
employed fund, making it $1,500,000
for this year.
