A DOUBLE ALARM
A Fire Horse That Knew His Duty
and Performed It

SAN BERNARDINO. Feb. 12.-There was
an alarm of fire rung in about o'clock on
Friday evning that proved to be from the
cottage of Mrs. Susan Folks, a widow, at
the corner of Eighth and l streets. Before
the fire department could make the run of
mile and half, there was but little of the
building left. The neighbors, however,
had assembled and saved the contents of
the house, but the cottage, valued at about
$1,000, was a total loss, with but light in
surance on it. AS the flames came out
first around the chimney it was evidently
caused by a defective f1ue, and caught from
the supper fire. The house was empty at
the time, as the occupants were down in
the city. This misfortune followed close
on the arrival of the news that the mother
of Mrs. Folks, Mrs. Susan c. Case, had
died the same day at Willows, in the north
ern part of the state. Mrs. Case was 81
years of age, and formerly lived in this
city.
A second alarm was turned in a $3.50 from
the same source, the flames, which it was
supposed were subdued, breaking out again
in the ruins. The run was made again,
and the fire completely deluged with water.
singular circumstance in connection
with the latter run was the conduct of the
old fire horse, Frank, who, since the death
of his mate, had not been used on the
WdSOili as ile Hlduc way IOi u Souh6ci
He was kept in a stable at the rear of the
fire department quarters, and whenever
there is an alarm he tries to make break
for liberty, and last night he succeeded in
breaking his halter and getting out of the
stable. The number rung in was "42''
and Frank took the lead of all the appa-
ratus, making the run in his best style, TAX
ing the shortest route OF that box, arriv-
ing far in advance of the regular team.
Reaching he box, which was still quite a
distance from the fire, Frank took look
at the surroundings, and, locating the fire,
he again started for the scene at his best
speed. He was just showing the young
team how the work ought to be done.
