West Superior, Wis., Aug. 15, - Forest fires are raging extensively along the South Shore railroad east of this city. The extent of damage done cannot be definitely learned, as the wires are down. Citizens here who are well informed as to the nature of the burning country say the loss of standing timber will be heavy. Bruce Crossing', a little hamlet 100 miles from here, was practically vviped out Sunday night. Mucli railway rolling stock has been destroyed. The wife and child of a lumberman are missing and are supposed to have perished in the James. Special trains have been sent out on the South Shore road to render assistance to the inhabitants and care for the company's property.
