Lie Guns For kiremen.

Had the fire department been equipped
with apparatus for throwing ropes to
great heights or distances, such as are
carried by all life saving stations, many
lives could have been saved from the
flames at the cold storage fire. Every
man who escaped alive did SO by finn
sy rope. With proper gun or cannon
q rope or numbers of them could have
been shot up over the tower and made
fast by the imprisoned men. The ropes
can be rendered noncombustible. No
new or expensive machinery would be
required. At the life saving station at
jackson park could have been found
huge guns with endless coils of lifeline
attached. The guns fire heavy spear,
which carries the lifeline out to wrecks,
helpless boats and drowning men. Twen-
ty such lifelines could have been fired up
and over the burning tower. Every shot
Of the gun would have saved the life of
brave fireman.
With the high buildings in the busi-
ness center such apparatus would be
most valuable and could be carried on
every hose cart. Individuals imprisoned
in the tenth story, cut off from all es-
cape, could be saved. A lance could be
shot into the window and the rope made
fast. Nothing would be easier. If the
gun, the lance and the rope are good to
save lives at sea, why not use fireproof
ropes to save men from death by fre?-

were rife ON the streets last evening and
today that mass meeting had been or
was going to be held somewhere in this

this responsible position remains to be
seen. The sheriff's office has been kept
busy the past few days looking after the
Redlands trouble with the heathens,
but now that the question has reached
this city they were compelled to stay up
till a late hour last night as q report was
circulated that an attack would be made
some time during the night. The
Chinese in this city barricaded their
doors last night, and it is safe to say but
very few of them slept much. They are
all well armed and bloodshed is likely
to result should the mob attempt TO ex-
pei them. An officer in this city in
formed the HERALD scribe of the plan
supposed to have been adopted at the
meeting last evening. He said that
they would wait till the attempt would
be made at Redlands. Should the citi-
zens be successful there they would
make an attack in this city. There are
over 20 Chinese in this city, and a fight
is looked for by the knowing ones. The
gun stores here have sold large amount
of fire arms and ammunition in the last
few days, the major portion being to the
