AT PEAKS ISLAND.
An Insane Man Has Broken Into Num-
Der of Cottages.
relatives

An insane man has been on Peaks island
for some days and has broken into mum
her of the cottages and done some damage
by tearing down partitions. Up to late
hour yesterday afternoon, the. man had
not been captured, although it was re-
ported that an effort would be made by
the me-. ON the island to gather him in.
Mrs. Harriet Weaver of this city ,giveswhat
will probably prove the correct explanation
of the occurrence She says that Ler nephew,
George o. Fall, formerly OF Lynn, Mass,
has been insane, having several times
been confined in asylums. Mr.. Fall was
formerly man of property and was at
one time mayor of Lynn. AT the time of
the great fire in that city he lost his
property and since then he has not been in
his right mind. Mrs. Weaver last sum-
mer occupied the Colby cottage on the
island and in it she had some articles
which were given her by Mr.. Fall two
years ago. Some ten days ago, Mr.. Fall
went to the island and took the things
out of the cottage, later having them
brought to the city. II is Mis-. Weaver
belief that he has since returned to the
island and that he is the man who has
been in the cottages there. Mrs Weaver
had not heard of his doing any damage TO
these houses but others said that in some
of them it was evident that the occupant
was disposed to be destructive. 1t is be-
lieved that he sleeps in the houses into
which he breaks. Where he gets his food
is not known.

Tne firsmsn should be drilled. The
ercise regularly in practical work. They
need to be trained SO that when they go
into action they may he prepared to
meet any emergency that might arise.
A green man in the fire department is as
useless as new man on the street car
line, and his incompstency is as culpabls
and twice as glaring.
In country towns OF thousand or
two thousand inhabitants the volunteer
companies usually practice several times
a week, the drill being actual service at
a fire. A huge pile OF store boxes and
barrels is sometimes made up on the
commons generously sprinkled with coal
oil and set on fire, the alarm turned in
and the members OF the hose company
get down to business. They promptly
respond to the call, they hurry to the
scene OF action, the various fremen
spring to their respective places of duty
and work as though they were engaged
in extinguishing an actual conHagration.
They become accustomed TO the work
and as fire fighting grows familiar to
them 80 they learn to work with cool
ness, rapdity and precision, and the ef-
fectiveness OF their efforts is something
to be admired.
This constant training and drilling is
carried on because the necessity of it is
80 apparent, and such being the case in
q small town with it's scattered houses
and freedom from tall buildings, how
mucn more urgent the need OF proper
training in city OF the proportions of
\ Pueblo.
1t now dsvelopes that the consensus
OF public opinion is unfavorable to the
services OF the fire department at the
Central block fire, many eye witnesses
declaring that the action was abomin-
able. We suspect that there ia consider
able justness in the criticism, which
goes to emphasize what we have said
about the necessity Of Thorough train
ing The glaring lncompetency OF the
department at the burning OF the Mesa
hotel and the Citizens Exchange some
time ago should have been lesson enough
to the city, but it seems to have been
wasted.
II Chief Hurd would earn the graft

practice system among his men, fire the
lazy ones and those whom he may find
never can become good firemen, and
then enforce the training rule to the let
ter. Something must be done as it is an
outrage to submit the city to the mercy
Of lot of green hands, as many Of them
arc. The newly elected fremen
sadly need training, and those who have
had experience need constant drilling to
be Of the most use. We submit this
criticism to the judgment OF the public.

A little incident happened down town
last Sunday that caused Union avenue
to smile from the Santa Fs tracks to the
river. 1t was down on the programme
that General Booth Tucker was to ap-
pear at the Salvation Army Barracks,
and OF course large crowd was on the
qui vive for the great man. When the
time arrived to repair to the Barracks
the leader Of the Salvation hosts in
America crossed the bridge followed by
an army of now recruits and sight-sesrs,
and, keeping to the left side OF the street
he gave orders for the advance.
All went we'll, everybody keeping step
as best he could, until just as the van
reached the Savings bank corner there
was commotion. That "restless, quick
eye OF the commander that tho Chief
tain reporter loved to tell about, took in
the bright colors, the flags, the cannon,
the paraphernalia, the half dozen de-
iscted looking individuals and other
curious things directly across the street,
and, abruptly halting the column, he
wheeled to the right in truo military
style crossing the street at right angles.
Then, advancing 70 the door he was
about to enter when one of the indvidu-
ais mentioned nervously tugged at the
commanders sleeve and said in jerky,
frightened sort OF way: "This a-aint

What Can BE Done.

What Can BE Done.

do when properly looked after. AS an
instance take his orchard Of 90. acres.
In this there are 800 5-year-old ch rry
trees from which he has inst finished
gathering 200 crates of cherries Of the
finest variety. AS there are q boxes to
the crate, this makes a total of 4,S0O
boxes which he got off the orchard and
which is splendid showing for young
trees. Besides, there are 80 apple and
pear trees growing on the same tract of
ground. Mr.. Bartels found ready mar,
ket in Pueblo for all his fruit. which is

culture in view.
