was burned down last evening about
o'clock by an. incendiary. Tho vigilant
and Columbia companies were the only
ones in service, and the usual fight occur
red. The Columbia company were the
first to reach the scene, and the first to
lay the hose. When this was done
they began shouting insulting re-
marks to the Vigies. But their
Joy ended in sorrow, for before they
could attach their hose to the plug the
vigies were throwing stream on the
burning building and had the fire under
perfect control before water issued from
the nozzle of the Columbia's. A young
boy named Loudenberger, having hold Of
the nozzle by the COlumbias, turned tho
stream on the Vigie boys who retaliated
by knocking him down with their
stream. The excitement was intense
and a riot was prevented only by the
interference of the outsiders. As the
Vigilant was going home, the Columbia
hose carriage tried to pass them. Here
the Vigie were wrong as they had no right
to block up the whole street. Louden-
berger picked up stone with the inten-
ton of hurting somebody but he was
promptly Knocked down by Wash. Duck.
He then uttered threats OF the vilest char
acter.
