LIVELY RUNAWAY.
6rockmeier G. cox's Horses Caused
Excitement at Noon Today.

The two one-horse wagons of
Brockmeier q Cox became mixed up.
in the alley in the rear of their place
on Gold avenue at noon today, and re-
suited in double runaway. One OF
the wagons was demolished and left
behind in the alley Then both horses,
one with a wagon attached. and the
other free, made a sensational run up
Cold avenue. The free horse stopped
running just beyond Second street, but
the other was terribly frightened and
went up Third avenue from curb TO
curb, making things look lively until
only one wheel was LETT, which caught
on tree and held the horse fast until
some one arrived.
As they came out of the alley on
Gold avenue they hit the curb and
scattered bicycles right and left. Both
wagons were demolished, but the
horses escaped without injury

THE FIRE CHIEF.
A Few Facts Put on the Question by a
Taxpayer.

Editors Citizen,
The important question of hrc chief
is receiving an unusual amount OF at
teution, and animated and lively dis
cussious are 10 be heard on every side.
The carnival of fires in the city in the
past months has been an incentive for
the people to give the subject some
consideration.
when life and property are at stake
Z; is a cause worthy of every citizens
serious thought The ideas being ex-
pressed rs to the proper and most eco
nominal manner Of improving the pres
ent FIRE system are various and many
worthy OF reflection.
It is acknowledge by every one that
the present FIRE department has been
outgrowu by the city Building after
building has gone up and the resident
portion has extended 20 such a degree.
that fire in many localities would re.
suit disastrously. a better lot of FIRE.
men would be hard to find, but when It
comes to three mcl taking care of
some of the fires that have recently
taken place. II Is impossible for them
to conform TO the ideas some of the
people have concerning FIRE fighting
But they have been most fortunate at
many of the fires in securing a number
OF volunteers. With one man handling
the horses. another stringing the hose
and the third making the coupling. ii
requires fast work to keep one stream
on the fire. Two streams would be i'm.
possible, and to do justice to c are, at
least two streams are necessary. WHAT
is needed is more men to work, and
better equipment.
A fire chief Is an essential factor In
large city where there forty or fifty
firemen under his supervision, but the
idea of having a fire chief directing and
overseeing three men is absurd. With
couple more firemen to get out and
work at the fire more effective work
can be done. 1t will be only a short
| time before Albuquerque will require a
larger wagon, better equipment, and
beyond doubt, another station in the
southern part of the city.
! When the wooden mills, lumber mills
new railroad yards and shops, are all
in operation, ii will be absolutely nee
essary for the city to put in better
fire system and on much larger scale
for even now the city has outgrown
the present system. Then 1t will be
necessary to have the fire system un
der the supervision of fire chief
If the money, which will he handed
over to a fire chief, was taken and
placed in the hands of two competent
experienced firemen, land there arc
plenty Of them in the city, who would
he stationed at the fire house, the city
fires would be handled with better re
suits. OF course, there are many opin
ions as TO what are the proper steps L
be taken in this matter, but when 4
comes TO a good common sense man
ageMent, such as outlined above. will
be more effectual In the long run.

STEALING A RIDE.
A Young Man Run over in Local Yards
This Afternoon.

A young man giving the name of w.
w. Cowles. of Denver, fell between a
west bound freight train nj the south
ern end of the yards this afternoon
about | = 80 o'clock, and his right arm
was run over and terribly mangled to
the shoulder
He was beating his way, when In
some manner he fell. His head was
lying on the rail when rod hanging
from beneath the train knocked lis
head of the rail. and left his right arm
so that the wheel crushed Il. He was
stunned by the fall and consequently
was not able 10 drag himself of.
o. W. Storing & Sons ambulance was
called and he was removed TO the san
atarium.
DR.. Moore, in the Jackson building

Cowles, were notified.
II is probable that there may be some
internal Injuries watch might result
seriously.
