A year ago the department was not much
superior 10 what Is found in many country
villages. 1t only had about two thousand
feet Of hose, or hardly that, a hose wagon
and q steamer. The ladders that were
used at one time by the volunteer depart
ment were decayed and falling to pieces
with age SO the fremen were entirely with
out the aerial equipments necessary in q
city of large business blocks and other
structures. Since Mr.. Rhodes assumed
the management Of the department, by
strenuous efforts he has succeeded in plac-
ing it on the equal with cities much larger

wagons, chemical engine, several thous-
and feet of hose, and lastly, an aerial truck

FOOTBALLS AT WORK.
The festive footpad and burglar abounds
not only in Salt Lake but Ogden is now
getting her share. AS has been stated, the
holdups evidently followed Marshal Young,
who has been in the city several days, with
the idea that where he is there also is
safety for them to be found. The latest
victim is William Harrison Foster AS
that gentleman was returning home from
his work yesterday evening about o. clock,
he was confronted by two men who de-
manded his money. One of them held a
gun to Fosters head and remarked that
the least movement on his part would be
the signal for perforation. The scene of
the hold-up was on Twenty-second street,
between Adams and Jefferson, where the
sidewalks are held up by retaining walls,
and Foster, who thought the men were
fooling him, began to back away. In doing
this his feet slipped and he fell down the
embankment, sustaining severe injury TO
back Seeing that the mon were in earnest,
the victim began to yell Justify for help.
and the footpads took to their heels, leay-
ing Foster lying on his back in the street.
