third floor to call them. He succeeded
In awakening them and started to re-
urn downstairs. but the fire had eaten
it's way To the spot when he then stood
and the floor giving way. he was pre-
cipitated through the floor to the floor
below. He was terribly burned in
passing through the fire. but retained
his presence of mind and found his
way to a window at the Broadway
front. He is about the last man taken
from the building. As he appeared at
the window he was seen and a ladder
quickly run up. IL was mounted by
Fireman George kessler and a miner
named Fred Russell. INC although the
ladder did not reach within several feet
of the window, they succeeded In bring
ing the man to safety. He was nearly
suffocated as well as being burned. and
was sent to the Sisters hospital. IL was
thought to die. but he soon recovered
from the effects of the smoke and last
evening was conversing with friends.
He was terribly burned about h head
and hands. but IL not in a dangerous
condition. The men whom Wilson went
to the third story to call We're Mike
Kelly and John Mckenzie. and he was
much exercised for fear they per-

came back when Carter seemed too
long i'm coming. and pulled him out OF
bed and told him to hurry or he would
burn up. He had only time to pull on
his ouser and tried to make his way
to the rear stairway. F1emming had
gone before. Carter found he could not
reach the stair n he ran to a win
dow on the west side and broke IL to
get air. The GROVE below shouted TO
him to go to the fire escape at the rear.
He tried it. but the fire was between
him n the escape and he again
turned back to the window. No help
was in sight from that quarter. and
seeing his only chance for safety lay
in reaching the fire escape. he turned
and mad a run for Ii. He reached IL
and got to the ground in safety, but
had his head severely burned in run
ming through the fire. He is at the Sis
ters' hospital.
John Irwin, en- employee Of the Green
Mountain, was In room SO on the third
floor. He heard the cries OF fire, but
thought someone was drunk and laid
back to go to sleep again. The noise
continued and he finally decided to get
up and see IL there was really a fire.
When he opened his door the hall was
full OF smoke. md returning, he slipped
into his pants and coat and tried to
make his way TO the fire escape. He
found himself cut Off, and then thought
Of the windows on Broadway. Fire
was between him and the window at
the end of the hall, but he ran for ii
and reached the window. He broke the
glass mt got fresh air. and then stood
