SWENIE NEAR DEATH.
Chicago's Veteran Fire Fighter
Overcome by Smoke in
Burning Factory.

Chicago, H., Feb 2.-Fire Chief Swe-
pie had a narrow escape from death early
today i'll the burning factory of the
Rauch Furniture Manufa curing COM
pany The veteran head of the depart
ment was overcome by smoke and fell
unconscious in the rear of the Office on
the first floor The members of engine
company No. 3 bore Chief Swenie from
Inc building just in time to save his life
The chief had gone into the building
alone and it was several minutes before
his men knew Of MS peril. The structure,
which is four stories high and covers
large area was burning tercely from the
second floor, where the first originated,
to the roof, but the blaze had not pene-
trated downward to the first floor when
the chief arrived in response to the alarm
that was turned in soon after the fire
was discovered.
Four companies were directing streams
of water from leads of hose upon the
blaze. While waiting for the summoned
reinfOrcementS to arrive, Chief Swenie
seized an axe and broke in the front door
of the factory. He went within almost
unnoticed. After some little time elapsed
and his absence was noted number of
firemen went in search of him.
The chiefs face had a deathly pallor,
his eyes were closed, his breath was COM
ing family, and his arms hung nerveess
by his side when he was carried into the
street. There was excitement and con-
sternation among the tiremen
Never before had the veteran been
overcome and never had there been neces-
sity for rescue of him by his own men.
The group that gathered about him felt
sure that some serious injury had been
sustained by Chief Swenie. but an exam
nation disclosed that smoke alone had
caused him to lose consciousness.
After a few minutes the unconscious
chief was partially revived. He was then
removed to a nearby engine house. A
physician who was called said the chiefs
condition was not serious.
This is the first time III over half a
century of fire fighting that Swenie had
been compelled to retreat before his foe.
Lately Chief SVenie has been subjected
to fainting spells and it is supposed that
he was seized with one Of these when the
cloud of smoke settled down on him.
The damage to the Rauch Manufacture
ing company will reach $4,000.
