From Alfred E. Taylor, Haileybury
druggist, who was driven from his
store when Haileybury fell prey to
the flames yesterday afternoon,' comes
a graphic description of the, holocaust
of the northland.
Raged Two Days
"The fires have been raging in the
bush for two days, but it was believe.d
that Haileybury was not endangered,"
he told The Star on the train last
tight. "Suddenly the wind veered
art:quid and swept over the town, and
with it came the smoke. I was it my
drug store when the smoke began to
fill every building in the towt, and
by four o'clock it time almost impos-
sible to see. The people started to
get out of towel hecaude the smoke
finally got so thick that the doom of
the place seemed inevitable. If the
wirtd had not changed direction so
suddenly and become so strong, Hail-
eybury veould„probahly not have.been
destroyed,
"At three o'clock when things start-
ed to get serious, the people from Co-
balt etarted to come to the town in
their motor ears, rigs and everythirig
else on wheels, to take the people
away, The Cobalt people were won-

"Then the sparks started to come
and before long Haileybury was
ablaze. Fires were breaking out ell
over the town from one end to the

over the place. As the people drove
along in their motor cars, they didn't

"Two men who deserve great credit
for their work., are Dr, W. D. Arnold
of Haileybury and A. P. Kuechtel of
Liggett's Drug firm. They helped get
the patients out of the hospital and
worked like Trojans. I don't think
there was one of the patients harmed.
Mr. Taylor's wife was staying in
Toronto, visiting relatieres, when the

pressed thank-fidness that she happen-

Ori the eight o'clock train from
North Bay last night, other refugees
from the flames reached Toronto.
Weary, with eyes black -ringed from

I reached. an open space near the
Catholic hospital and with several
others helped to prevent the fire from
destroying the hospital. We fought it
for two hours. There was no water
speak of. We broke the pipes and
got two 'bucketsful out of the boiler
and mixed it with clay which we put
about the 'building. Partly disabled
patients helped to. We thought the
stone building was saved, and sat
down to rest. About eight o'clock
we noticed fire on the roof, but with
no water we were helpless." '
Speaking of the sisters at the hos-
