FOREST FIRE DEATHS TOTAL 122 Northern Ontario Conflagration is Now Under. Control. Toronto, July 14.—Reports from northern” Ontario points are to the effect that the forest fires, which for several days have swept over a sec- tion of the country extending 300 miles northward from North Bay west, have either been ‘extinguished or are under control. -No further extensive damage or loss of life is ex- pected. The town of Cochrane, South Por- cupine and Pottsville have been ob- literated. The fire swept clean the townships of - Langmuir, Eldorado, Shaw, Daloro, Ogden, McArthur and Cripple Creek districts. The known dead total 122, a majority of whom lost their lives at South Porcupine. There are believed to have been many other fatalities and estimates, based upon unverified reports, run as high as 400. A relief train left North Bay yes- supplies. Plenty of funds have been subscribed in this city for immediate help. Refugees from the burned area say that it covers 10,000 square miles, comprising a district that housed 20,000 people. From every quarter have come refugees who es- caped the flames, many,of them badly burned. It will be some days before any accurate idea of the total number of dead is available. Many of the terror stricken fled into the interior of the woodlands. They have not been heard from since. Others, who possibly survived the storm of fire, are believed to have died of exhaustion. Supplies goin forward cannot possibly be sent to sufferers across the charred area. MRS.. E. H. DONOVAN IS DEAD Passes Away as Result of Heart Dis- ease in Hospital in Rochester. . Mrs. E. H.

Dr. D. F. Dumas of Cass Lake was in Bemidji today. 5 Yes, he did see his attorney, Judge Marshall A.

Dr. Dumas’ parting shot was-a hot ohe. Here it is: Going to Duluth, “I am going to Duluth tomorrow to see the publisher of the Duluth Herald about stuff that paper has printed regarding my ‘pnst career. I am not certain yet as to whether I shall bring suit .against the paper, but I am going to demand a square deal.” A few days ago the Herald quoted Detective Fielding as saying that Dr. Dumas was compelled to leave the University of Minnesota.

WANTS A NEW NAME Mr. Barker Discovers an Odor of Per- fume for Which he Can Find No Name. HAS A “DISTINCTIVE ODOR” “We need new word; one that can steer a safe course midway be- tween psychology and human nature. Psychology is too likely to suggest to us something dry bookish; something that has absolutely nothing to do with our daily and especially our business life* human nature, on the other band, is a term so commonly used to describe the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of people, as well as their naturdl actions, that it has no definite or vital meaning for us.” ‘When asked what he was talking about Mr. Barker declared that he had discovered a new odor of per- fume, but could not find a word in his vocabulary that would do it jus- tice. : In his advertisement on "page 3 he calls it a “Distinctive Odor”. One that is not too loud. Today the store room of the Barker Drug and Jewelry store was filled with a highly refined odor of perfume, and in odor to get what you want you mun ask for what you smell. on bail, implicated Young and Dr. Dumas, the latter being charged with . engineering deals in which Young was principal. It is asserted that Young had noth- ing to do with. the burning -of Dr. Dumas’ house at Cass Lake or the blowing of the safe of the Bank of Shevlin, but that he was close to Le- clare and Mike Davis in their vari- ous operations in this section. A Be- midji man who is close to the work of the officers who are in charge of the case against Dumas is authority for the statement that there is every indication that Young has been con- vinced that he was thrown down by his “pals,” and that he has “coughec up” some valuable evidence at Du- luth. Think Davis and Leclare Located. This party also says that many yeggmen are at Superior and are conferring as to what to do to as- sist the “soup” men who have got- = ten into the toils of the officials. Al- though no one with authority wlll‘ admit it, there is a general belle that the Pinkertons and the state fir~ marshal know the whereabouts o Mike Davis and Ed Leclare and wil} arrest them when the men are reallr necessary for the carrying out .of the plans for prosecution of the cases.
