Five hundred soldiers are on duty-this
preeaItion was necessary, for as remarkable
as it may seem, there were fends who still
sought to extend the disaster. Two men
caught in the act of firing houses on the
west side were seized and Immediately
hung to lamp posts, one ON 18th street near
the river and the other three miles away
on Claiborne Avenue on the north side.
This summary action has checked the

Fire Engines from other cities.

The arrival OF fremen and en-
gines from Milwaukee, st. Louis
and other cities has apparently re-
stored confidence. The Cincinnati train
arrived this morning with four engines,
three from that city and one from Dayton.
They were seventeen hours on the way,
having to change route twice. They finally
came via Piqua and LoganspOt. There
was an inexpressible pleasure in seeing
these experienced men 60 right to
work In business way, where work
was most needed. They are playing on
coal piles to save whatever of fuel is posi-
bic and preventing the spread of flame. The
vast plain is covered with people wandering,
but seeing the evidences of wealth that
has completely vanished in fame and smoke.
