Chief Robert D. Cline, of the fire de-
partment, has Just completed his re-
port for the past quarter, embracing
the months of January, February and
March, and it reflects great credit upon
the chief and his efficient force. Dur
ing the. quarter there were sixty-nine
calls, and the total loss was only
s., 1892. Three of the calls were to
the old court house and the majority
of the others were caused by defective
fiues and resulted in little or no dam
age. The largest loss was to the Scha-
fer & Driehorst building, on Main
street, 81, 1000, but it will be remembered
that this had gained considerable head
way before it was discovered.
