Winnipeg, Aug. 23.—A disastrous forest fire is sweeping over the coun- try in the territory tributary to Grand Forks, in the Kootenay country, fanned by a brisk breeze.

Reports from Roseberry state forest fires also are raging in that nejghbor- bood. The conflagration licked up small buildings of that place and the whole town, with the exception of the Canadian Pacific roundhouse, has been wiped out. The steamer Slocan went from Almo to Roscberry to assist in saving the inhabitants of that place. The town of Hatton is in serious dan- ger and the women and children of that place and of Roseberry have been removed to a district not as yet threatened by the fir The fire war- den of Roscberry with all-the men of that place is fighting the flames and deeds of heroism are being achieved amidst clouds of smoke, sparks and scorching flames.

GUARDIAN IS FIRED ON Child Taken From the Home of Her Mother in Topeka, Kan, by Two Men and a Woman in a Sensational Manner—Party Drives Off in a Buggy and Manages to Get Away. Topeka, Kan, Aug. 23.—Marion Bleakley, the St. Louis world’s fair incubator baby, who was the cause of litigation extending over several years, was kidnapped in a sensational man- ner from the home of her mother here. Two men and a.woman were engaged in the kidnapping and the child was secured only after an exchange of shots, which, however, went wide of their marks. The kidnappers fled in a buggy. . Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, who was awarded the child by the federal courts two years ago, lived with her mother at 1027 Garfield avenue, which is a mile and a half from the business district. She worked down town as a stenographer. The little girl, who is five years old, had been carefully guarded in Topeka and had been constantly attended. During the morning a woman, osten- sibly selling soap, appeared- at the Bleakley home. She scon left and a half hour Jater a buggy in which were two men and the same woman ap- peared in front of the house, Fires on Child’s Guardian. One of the men alighted and en- tered the yard where the child was playing with a young man of the neighborhood, in whose charge she had been left. As the kidnapper ran toward her the young man attempted to interfere. The kidnapper shot at him, but missed. He then knocked the boy down with his revolver, car- ried the child to the buggy and drove off. Marlon Rleakley has had a stormy career. She was born in a hospital at St. Louis and was placed in one of the incubators shown at the exposi- tion there. While there she was for- mallj adopted by Mrs. James G. Bar- clay of Moline, Ill. Mrs. Bleakley signed a release, but she afterward sued to recover the child and was successful in the Illinois courts. She brought the little girl to Kan- sas and she was kidnapped from the mother in Montgomery county, but later was recovered. The fight for the possession of the baby was -fought through the state courts and the supreme court finally awarded the custody to Mrs. Bleak- ley. Mrs. Barclay then instituted a suit in the federal court for the pos- session of the child, but was again defeated. DEFICIT OF $82,000 FOUND Banker Convicts Go Over Books of Penitentiary. Pittsburg, Aug. 23.—Discovery has been made, it is alleged; of a deficit of §82,000 by a board ‘of auditors ap- pointed to fix the financial status of the Western Pennsylvania peniten- tiary.

Stockholm, Aug. 23.—The local street railroad company has scored a complete victory over those of its em- ployes who joined the strikers the be- ginning of this month.
