Hundreds More Relived to Have Per ished la Ontario Forest Flames. A special to the Detroit News from Toronto says: As the result of the forest fires that are aweeping- unchecked thronph Northern Ontario at least 50 lives are lost, many have been injured, hun dreds are missing and it is feared scores of these will be included in the fatalities. Thirty lost their lives at Porcnninn. including- Captain White and familv at West Dome. Fifteen men were drowned at Rnuth Porcupine when they were driven in to the lake by the dense clonds of smoke and rolling wave of fire. Two wen were burned to death at Eldorado mine and another met a similar fate at the United Porcupine mines. Three towns have been wined off the map and hundreds of refuges are facing starvation. A train containing 600 women and children was rushed out of Cochrane this morning for the south, as the wall of flames advanced toward the village. The town of 500 inhabitants was soon a mass of fire and is entirely destroyed. South Porcupine and Fitteville are charred ruins. Golden City was surrounded hv flames for hours and is still in danger, although the suburbs have burned. Part of Tidsdale has been wiped out, the fire being controlled only by dyna miting a dozen house in the middle of the town. Two special trains have been sent to bring the 4,000 persons who are facing starvation or death by fire in the Tisdale district. Communication with stricken dis tricts is exceedingly difficult, Ihe names swept down on South Porcupine and Pittsville almost with out warning. The alarm came just in time for the people to rush for the lake, but they were forced to aban don all of their belongings. Attention, Veterans.
