           Munising Threatened by Forest Fires.
           
        Destructive forest fires are reported from 
      several portions of the upper peninsula. The
      worst so far is reported from Ontonagon county,
      where several lumber camps have been destroyed,
      and great quantities of cut and standing timber
      damaged. From Munising, the new town in Alger
      county, comes a report that the entire populace
      is fighting fire to save the town.
        A dispatch from Newberry says "Munising was
      in danger of being entirely consumed by fire.
      Several houses burned from forest fires, but
      later it began raining. The authorities tele-
      graphed Marquette and Negaunee for fire engines.
