The Fire Department.

To The Editor Of the Tribune:
In the issue OF the Times Saturday eve
ming great praise was bestowed upon the
No.. 3 hose company for the excellent
work performed IN answer to the alarm
for the Davis tannery fire. In giving this
praise an injustice was done another
company Of the fire department. Racing
to fires is to be deplored but when good
tim. Is made, accompanied by careful
driving and quick work, credit should be
bestowed. This would have a tendency
to increase the efficiency of the depart
ment, The No. company was not the
first company to arrive at the fire Friday
evening nor was IL he first one to get on
water. The hose company from the No. 2
house was the first company To arrive and
laid line OF hose down Lumber street
and the first water was played on the
building from the sonth side. This |
know to be a fact for was at the scene of
the fire before any company arrived and
gave a helping hand to the tiremen In lay
ing the first line. In connection vii b

to be sent IN, especially from the very

Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1893-08-31

On FRIDAY an accident occurred which
nearly cost the life Of Will, a fifteen year
old son of Cbas. Ebert, who lives six
miles southeast Of Webster. 1t had
been raining and was too wet to cut or
stack grain, so Will aud the hired man
thought they would go duck shooting.
They wenttoa little pond and succeeded
in knocking down a number of birds.
having gone up n on either side to
make sure the game could not escape.
They stood about forty yards apart when
one of the wounded birds arose and at
tempted to fly off. The man, anxious
not to lose a bird, threw up his gun and
fred. The charge took effect in Young
Ebert's body between his shoulders aud
knees. The gun was loaded with No. 4
shot, and some Of them penetrated the
flesh over an inch. When the accident
occurred grave fears were entertained
that 1t might prove fatal. but at This
writing the lad is getting along nicely,
sniis nothing unforeseen happens he
wilNentirely recover. 1t was a sad.pain-
ful accident, and Will has the sincere
sympathy of everyone in his sufferings,
though under the circumstances he IL
particularly fortunate il IS no worse
