ard at Cleveland Park, which was burned
to the ground Saturday afternoon, did con-
siderable damage to the uniforms of the
police. who reached the scene of the con-
fiagration before the engines, and who rem
dered excellent service in saving personal
property. While engaged in this task Har-
ry Lehman and Messrs Murphy and Neale
Of the force suffered each the loss of an
overcoat, flying pieces of burning wood
igniting the garment and burning large
holes in it. The uniforms of a number of
other policemen were covered with dirt and
water as result of the battle with the
flames. 1t is matter of conjecture whether
or not the destroyed uniforms will be re-
furnished by the department out of a fund
recently created for the purpose. or if the
men themselves will have to stand the loss,
the damage being done while in the line of
duty.
