about half past o'clock upon false alarm
A telephone message was received from par
ties who feared that some grass burning on
South Fair Oaks avenue below bei'eioh-
tame drive might set fire to houses Inc
occasion proved disastrous to two members

horses. "Nellie" and Joe" One horse was
harnessed and the other not when the team
started Wiley was caught in the stomach
by tho shaft Of the wagon and forced
through the iron chain which bars the en-
trance to the engine house. link Of the
chain, which Is three-eighths OF an inch
thick, parted luckily for Wiley. who 9TH
trwise would have had the life crushed out
of him. As 1t was. he was too nearly dead
to hold his team. which dashed out and
eastward on Dayton street. John Jones,
driver Of the engine, jumped on the wagon
and attempted to stop the horses, but in
vain. Seeing that the team was about to
crash into pole on the corner of Vineyard

shaft square off and smashing all the spokes
out of the front right hand wheel.
