FIREMAN GULBRANsoN's FALL.

thrust to make the rounds At the top
is an iron hook, which fits over the win
dow sill and holds it in place. Unless
one is accustomed to the work, climb
ing these ladders is a difficult task.
About l o'clock the drill was started
and Stab was the first one to go up the
hose tower, the ascent of which was
being made with the Pompier ladders.
Earl followed and when Stab was at
the third story window Earl was at
the Second. They climbed on up and
Gulbranson followed, reaching the sec
ond story window with Earl and Stab
above him. Gulbranson was about Is
feet above the ground, when suddenly
the alarm gong in the Office was heard
to ring, and the men and horses jumped
to their places. Stab and Earl climbed
in the windows and slid down the rope
in the tower, while GulbransOn at
tempted to go down the ladder.
The sound of the gong must have ex-
cited Gulbranson, for he attempted to
reach the ground too quickly. The
Pompier ladder is a risky one at best,
and in a hurry it is worse than risky.
In some manner Gulbranson lost his
footing and also let go of one hand.
The ladder swung to one side, on ac-
count of the unequal weight, and Gull
branson was thrown to the ground,
falling on his hands and knees. When
ne struck his head came in contact with
the ground and cut his nose badly Snd
otherwise bruised his face. His right
arm was broken just above the elbow
and the left wrist was broken and the
Joint dislocated. DR.. Witcher and Dr.
McKenna were called and dressed his
wounds. GulDranson was then taken
to his home to be cared for until he is
able to work. The alarm to which the
accident was due came in from an open
circuit and was not for fire.

Workman fell a distance of four feet

Dear Sir:
1 have read the article published in
the Salt Lake Tribune of this date, and

mine prompted it, and further, / desire
to express to you my unqualified APP
probation of YOUR work in the matter
so happily brought TO a close by the

You were a nervy leader on the trip;
you shirked at nothing where hard
work or danger entered into the mat
ter If 1 felt compelled to join another
expedition, 1 would rather have you
along as first man than any other man
of my acquaintance.
Some one pulled me in the Tribune
yesterday; doubtless it was a misguid-
ed friend. 1 was not responsible for
that, and I certainly repudiate and de-
ny the statements in today's Tribune
regarding you.
l do not know how to address you by
street and number so 1 ask you TO an
swer by a few words, informing me
that you have received this. as I can
not have a false impression conveyed
to you in this case, and I must know
that you have received this (Which, by
the way, you are at liberty TO use as
you please.) Please answer.
