Hemmed in by Fire.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. Is, 1885,
At l2:35 O'Clock this morning fire was
discovered in the livery stable of Brett.
kreutz & Manger, PIT Milwaukee street,
and as soon as Chief Foley reached the
place he turned in a second alarm. Two
son, a cook, and August Froeming, a
buggy washer, were seriously burned
and both had to be removed to the Elmer
gency hospital, where it is stated today
that Jackson is in a very precarious con-
dition and that his recovery is doubtful.
FrOeming's injuries are not dangerous.
Twenty-nine horses were in the barn.
Two were gotten out, though one will
probably have to be shot. as it was bad
ly burned. The other twenty-seven were
burned to death The fire originated in
the rear of the second floor and was dis
through the ventilators. On the third
floor, which was used for the storing
of fodder and sleighs, and as living
room for the help, the two men who were
so seriously injured were asleep at the
time of the fire. They were aroused by
and Jackson succeeded in making his
way to the second floor. He was APP
parently engaged in untying the horses
when he was overcome by the smoke or
knocked down by the frightened animals.
He was found in a stall near the front of
dition. After the fire was out Froerning
was discovered lying under a table on
the third floor.
The fire was confined to the rear half
of the third and part of the second floors.
The building was damaged to the extent
of $500, covered by insurance. 1t is
owned by J. Meinke. The loss ON Tire
contents will reach probably $780,, COW
cred by an insurance of $4,000 in favor
of BreitkreutZ & Manger. Last winter
a fire in the Detroit street barn of the
same firm burned eight horses.
Milwaukee, Wis, Seut. is, 1885,
The statement that the firemen did net
rescue August Froenaing from the burn
ing livery stable of Breitkreutz & Nam
ger until the fire was out proves to have
been an error A few minutes after the
firemen reached the burning building
they were notified that two men were in,
the stable on the third floor. Chief
searched the second floor thoroughly,
but did not find anyone. On the next
trip through the second story. which
was filled to suffocation with dense
smoke, they discovered Jackson lying in:
stall and had HIM removed immediate
ly. This was about ten minutes after
the alarm had been turned in. Mean
while Assistant Chief Clancy and the
members of engine company No. 10 were
searching the apartments of the men on
the third floor. The smoke up there
was so thick that the lanterns carried by
the men would not burn more than
minute. A squad of men was kept busy
lighting the lanterns and handing them
to the men inside as often as they went
out. The man Froeming was discov-
cred by one of the firemen stumbling
over him. He was taken out of the
building ten minutes after Jackson.
At the Emergency hospital today both
August Froeming and William Jackson
are reported to be doing nicely and it is
stated that Jackson's injuries. which
were thought to be fatal, are not so bad
as at first stated. and he will very like
ly recover.
