A fire in this neighborhood is always
dangerous, as it is a locality in which
there are a number Of large buildings,
but all alarms are responded to with as
much speed as is possible
When an alarm is received at the en-
CINE house the performance is always
the same. Every man, horse and piece
of apparatus has it's particular place and
IS always in place. In a few seconds
after the gong rang out ''24" and he
fore it could be repeated twice, which
is always done, the whole brigade was
out on the street and racing toward the
box from which the alarm came.
Bigger BIaze This Time.
The fire was in a large brick building
at the corner of Fourth and jackson,
known as the Davidson block. AS socn
as the chief arrived on the scene he
saw that the fire was a bad one. and
Immediately turned in what is called the
All. This alarm called out additional
apparatus from the remoter part of the
city In a few moments they came DASH
ing up and took their places in the line
of battle which was struggling cour-
ageously with the enemy which was rap
idly destroying the interior of the build
ing. When the "4-11'' alarm was re-
sponded to, there were ten engines,
three chemicals and five hook and ladder
companies at the fire
Chief Jackson saw that the fire, which
was located in the fourth floor Of the
building, was difficult to reach. and he

needed rest.
At lis a. M, when the men who had
been relieved at the davidson fire were
just getting ready to sleep, the gong be-
gan ringing. This time the alarm came
from Box No 416 at Ramsey and Leech
streets Engines No. 8, with Cart No. 5,

night without interruption. But again
they were destined to be disappointed
The gong began ringing again at 2:20
The alarm this time came from box 49,
at Ramsey street and Pleasant avenue.
The brigade responding to this alarm
was made up Of Engine No. /, with Cart
No. 3. and Engine No. 10. with Cart No.

hard a life as any man. The day begins
at o'clock p. m. Jan. q, and ends at
o clock a. m. Jan. IS, covering a period of
fourteen hours, in which the men had
little chance to sleep or rest.
At l O'clock The men were all seated
about the engine house having just re-
turned from their dinners. Pipes and
stories We're In oroer and each man was
enjoying that ease that makes his life SO
attractive to the outsider who sees little
Of him. Conversation was dragging along
as it usually does among men who are
constantly thrown in each others COM
pany. Some Of the men had gone up into
the dormitory and were loungng or en-
gagged in games
Suddenly the large gong in the rear of
the building began to ring. Just two
strokes, but it told the men that a fire
was on and each one rushed to his place

brigade was dashing down Eighth street
in the direction Of the fire.
The alarm which came in was what is

the ice and cold, which increased the
difficulty Of protecting themselves, were
slightly injured, receiving sprains and
bruises from which they suffered for
many days. The great wonder, to those
who witnessed the scene and realized Che
great danger, was that some Of them
were not seriously injured in the battle
Another False Alarm.
While the flames were raging in the
Davidson block, the gong at headquar-
ters sounded another alarm. This, time
it came from box a. at the corner Of
Fourth and SibIey streets. Engines No.
Z and 10 and Supply Hose No. 5 respond
ed to the alarm, and Hook and Ladder
No. 3, which was at the other fire, picked
up and went to the box. When the scene
was reached it was found that the water
tower, in going to the big fire, had struck
against the box at Fourth and Crbley
streets and broken down the pest. In
doing this the alarm was turned in, but
there was no fire to be fought The en-
giTes and supply hose returned to quar-

wilson block
As rapidly as it was safe to do the an

extended to its extreme length, began to

The night was bitterly cold, the mer-
curry registering p degrees below zero.
The water froze on everything it struck
and the flremen in a short space of time
were literally covered with ice. The men
suffered a great deal from the cold. bur
they did not relax their efforts in the
battle with the flames Covered with Ice
and aching with the cold, they fought
on bravely for nearly four hours, when
1t was determined that the flames were
sufficiently under control to make it safe
for some of the apparatus to leave the
fire. Accordingly some of the companies
were relieved and allowed to return to
their quarters. but several engines were

the next day
The difficulty OF reaching the fire and
the extreme cold made it one of the
hardest experiences the members of the
department. have mad At the rear of the
building, where most of the water was
thrown, the ice froze to such a depth
that the hook and ladder wagon was
completely covered with ice and was not
dug out until II o'clock the next day
The entire building was covered with a
coat of ice several inches in thickness
and presented the appearance of an ice
palace.

Everything in Place.
There are several things one will see
IN an engine house which are impressive.
One Of these is the precision with. which
everything is done. The oft repeated
motto "A place for everything and ev-
erythlng in its place. is the golden text
IN fireman's life. He observes it as re-
lglouSly as the Molaammedan regards
the injunction about praying with the
face turned toward Mecca. It will readily
be comprehended that it is necessary for
everything to have its place when enc
remembers that alacrity with which an
alarm must be answered. If there was
any hunting for tools or clothing after
the alarm comes in, it would not be pos
slble for the department to give salts
factory protection.
1t is a beautiful sight to witness the
movements of the men and horses when
the gong begins ringing. The doors of
the stalls open mechanically and every
horse rushes to his place. Every animal
is trained to perfection and never fails
to perform his part. He rushes to the
particular rig upon which he is to be
hitched and takes his place Immediately
beneath the harness. A man runs to the
head of each horse snaps the checks and
clasps the collar around the neck of the
beast. Then stepping back the driver,
who has already mounted the seat pulls
the cord which releases the harness. The
harness falls in place, the door of the en-
CINE house is opened automatically by
pulling a rope, the teams dash out and
the men mount the apparatus as it
passes them. So quickly is it all done
that the teams are all hitched and out
on the street before the visitor can re-
cover from the shock occasioned by the
ringing Of the gong.
The chiefs horse always stands hitched
to his buggy and ready for an alarm
From morning until evening the horse
stands there and when an alarm comes
in it usually happens that the chief is
the first one to leave the headquarters.
Another scene which is quite interesting
at the time of an alarm coming in is to
see the men come down from the upper
floor where they sleep. There are brass
reds extending from the second floor to
the ground When the gong begins riag-
ing, the men on the second floor rush to

space of three minutes the engines were
at the fire and streams of water We're
pouring upon the flames.
The fire was found to be a small frame
barn and it was but the work of a few
minutes until it was extinguished. AS
soon as the fire was out, the hose was
uncoupled and lcaded on the carts and
the brigade started back to its quarters
to await the next call.
When the engine house was reached,
the apparatus was placed in order, the
horses unhitched and fed and wet cloth
ing changed for dry, and the men resum-
ed their former attitudes as though moth
ing had happened. Pipes We're again re-
lighted, interrupted games resumed. and
the conversation was commenced.

Z IVES OF The 81 ~ 81
- TRAINED FIRE FIGHTERS

To the average man who daily passes
the various engine houses in the city and
sees the men lounging about in apparent
1dleness, the life of a fireman presents
an appearance suggesting of ease and
luxury. But a day spent in company
with them viii readily convince one that
there is something beside loafing and
pleasure connected with the life of those
whose duty it is to protect the city
against fire.
The following account of day spent
with the members Of engine company No.
8, stationed at fire headquarters at
Eighth and Minnesota is story of one of
the many days in a fremahs life that
is far from pleasant. The experiences of
the men on that are somewhat similar to
those OF many other days in a years time
and shows that taking everything into
consideration, a fireman has about as

a fire Of several hours duration. They
must have some rest and in order that
they may always be ready for long Aard
fight.
When all the work is done the men
spend the time lounging about the build
ing for they cannot so far away. They
must always be within hearing distance
of the gong. The time is passed in read
ing, talking, playing games and the like.
To a person who is not accustomed to
waiting for something to happen, this
would become quite tirescme, but to a
fireman who is accustomed to it day after
day, and month after month, it becomes
an old story and the time never drags.

ed toward the engine house, and in
few minutes the old routine of waiting
was resumed.
BY the time the apparatus was again
in order it was time for some of the
men to go to their suppers. They began
to go out. leaving enough at all times
to manage the engines and ladders in
case of an alarm while they were gone.
AS soon as man had time to eat he
returned to his post, and another went
out. Thus the supper hour dragged on,
with no alarm coming in. The men had
about all returned to their post when
another alarm came in 1t was just nine
minutes past o'clock when the large
gong began to ring. This time it gave
two strokes, stopped for an instant and
gave four more strokes. This told the
men that the alarm came from Box No.

THE WILD WEST COMING.
The Farewell Of Buffalo Bill for some
Time.

The event Of the season is close upon us.
Buffalo Bill is within hailing distance and
will arrive with his famous Wild West on
July 81.
There are not, in any other organization
for popular entertainment, so many hun
dreds OF mall performers and horses as APP
pear in the arena OF this Wild West, and
not in many mere shows" however pre-
tentious they may be, are there such a
number OF men engaged in ~re-enacting for
the public thrilling incidents Of real life in
which they themselves have been the heroes.
Genuineness Of personality in PRESERVATION
has been a distin gushing characteristic Of
this Entertainment ever since it's first or
ganlzation by Colonel w. F. Cody buffalo
BID. While the arenic performance is just
as full Of vivid stirring wild western scenes
as ever, 1t has been expanded to take in
a vast deal more illustrative of strong men
and their doughty deeds all over the world,
and includes som splendid spectacular eff
fects the like of which have never been
seen hereabouts. This is a sort Of hail
and FAREWELL visit of the Wild West. It
has taken some seventeen or eighteen years
to get here, is going next season to Europe
to be gone two or three years, and is hardly
likely to last long enough to get back here,
since its duration is necessarily limited
to the lives of it's men.
