FIREMAN PROSTRATED
BY the Fight With the Smoke and
Cold,

The intense cold, together with the
inpenetrable and suffocatiug smoke,
proved difficult barriers for the fremen
to battle against, while the endurance,
perseverance and ultimate triumph of
the fire laddies were remarkable, and
freely commented upon by the thousands
of spectators who withStOod the pierre
ing atmosphere as they watched the
slow destruction Of one of the finest
church edificeS in Minneapolis. Over
twelve hours of steady work, however,
with numbed fingers, frozen faces and
ice-cOvered garments, proved too much
for some Of the boys, but not until their
lungs became charged with the sitting
smoke and intense cold and thoroughly
exhausted did they give up, and only
then, until they were picked up half
conscious by their comrades and car
ried into the residence of Mark w.
Lewis and restored to renewed life by
severe rubbing and administration of
hot whisky and coffee. Among those
who were the most thoroughly ex-
hausted and required medical assist
ance were Charles Mitchell, Charles
Horton, Kim Davis and w. f. Scham-
beck, of Steamer No. 6. and Charles
Brown, of Hook and Ladder No. 2. The
first two were threatened with cOnges-
ton and were taken home in the patrol
wagon, while Davis and Brown were
sufficiently restored to renew their
work at the pipes. BY o'clock nine of
the firemen had been so completely
used up that they were unable to con-
tinue at work longer. Chief StetSon,
who reported for duty from sick bed,
was also Frustrated, and was taken to

staircases from the basement. The au-
ditorium was arranged in the form of

mural decorations and large, illumi-

self actively with the church later on,

from Europe, and an organ which cost

dow of great beauty, in cOmmemoration

At $50 an alarm called the depart
ment to the small frame boarding house
on the corner of Third street and Fifth
avenue south. The fire originated from
an overheated stove on the ground floor
in the northeast corner, and when the
firemen arrived the flames had a good
start There were twelve bOarderS in
the house and all saved their personal
effects and some of the bedding The
house was damaged about 1850 worth,
or even less, and Carlson'S S loss on furni-

was insured for $500. The building was
also insured.
