the Men Thrown on and Injured, One
Receiving a Dislocated Shoulder.
The Rock Island fire department
had two blazes and an accident to
contend with this morning. While
the fires were of little consequence,
the mishap was rather serious, re-
sulting in the injuring of four men
and the damaging of the No. ? COM
pany's hose wagon. The first call
came from the home of William At
kinson, 303S Tenth avenue, at 3 a. M,
where q window curtain had acct
dentally caught from a match in the
hands of a member of the household,
who had gotten up at this early hour
to administer medicine to sick child.
The Central and No. 3 companies re-
sponded. The flames had made con-
siderable Roadway in the room, but
were extinguished by the application
of several bucketsfull of water and the
throwing through a window of the
burning furniture.
At $50 the department was sum-
moned to the residence of w. b. Fer
guson, 702 Twenty-first street. Here
timely discovery probably prevented
a disastrous fire. A joist had caught
from the furnace in the basement.
The attention of the family was at
tracted by flames shooting up through
the register. The blaze was conquered
without the turning on of water by
the,department, a few bucketsfull serv-
ing the purpose. The damage was
nominal.
No. 2's Accident.
&c hn
partment, except in an emergency,
when a call comes from point east OF
the Central station, the No. compa-
nv shall move from its quarters on
Eighth street to the Central house,
and there wait for orders. This morn
ing on receipt of the Ferguson call,
the team of the Central hose wagon
was unable for service, one of the horses
having lost shoe in the earlier run,
and Chief Collier ordered the rs to GO
straight to the scene. The horses at
tached to the No. ? wagon were dash
| ing north on Sixteenth, with Henry
Dasso in the drivers seat. Reaching
the Central house, as they had been
accustomed to do. they attempted to
turn into Fifth avenue. The wagon
struck the curbing and was overturned
and the occupants, Mr.. Dasso. Capt
Charles y. Hastings, and Firemer
Joseph Exner and Charles Schroeder
were hurled to the pavement.
Dasso was the most severely hurt
DR.. ii. II. Chase, who was called tC
attend him, finding that he had re
ceived a dislocation of the left should
er. His face was also badly scratched
All four were more or less bruised
and Schroeder sustained painful cut:
in his left hand.
The wagon was considerably useC
lup, one axle being bent and the boz
land seat broken.
