WAsuoE ENGINE COMPANY No. A.
This most effective engine company,
so prominent In the annals Of the Vir-
gini& Fire Department, has most I'M
justly fallen into some degree Of disre-
pute in the minds Of some people du-
ring the past week or so, owing to the
fact that Arthur Perkins, the murderer,
who is now, also deeply implicated as
an incendiary, was 4 member OF that
company, and % also wus VIM. Willis,
the Pipcr'S Opera House incendiary,
who duplicates n or two Others OF
the company now under arrest. A
few weeks ago, in order to fill up the
roll Of the company for the annual en-
Sineer's election, amid strong opposi-
ton from many of the best members,
by n small majority 4 few members OF
the diSbanded invincible Hose Com
pany, including Arthur Perkins, were
. admitted into Washoe Engine Com
pany. There are black sheep to be
found in all companies, therefore 1t Is
wrong to condemn this excellent and
most serviceable company indiscrimin-
ately. There are at least sixty Of its
members who are rs good men and
responsible citizens rs are to be found
in that or any other community. As
to those aforesaid "black Sheep" they
will be summarily ginned out at the
meeting of the company to be held this
evening. When properly ~regenerated
Washoe Engine Company will be rs
good rs ever. Their machine is one
OF the best in the observation-disclosures
out Of service, but always promptly on
hand, actively handled and we'll
manned. All the good, responsible
members Of the company are earnestly
desired to be ut the meeting this even
ing. We tespeak 4 better and more
prosperous future for Washoe Engine
Company, No. 4.

the ! o'clock train only the last two
days in over two months, by reason of
extra press OF important news matter.
If the Carsonites would only be n little
more liberal in subscribing for the pa
per, it would be n paying inducement
for Us to be more prompt and regular.
Try it.
