FIREMAN REWARDED.
Mrs. Haldeman Sends Check in Recog-
milton of His Services

Chief Engineer w. T. Belt Of the District
Fire Department, today received n letter
from Mrs. Christina Haldeman, 1913
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, inclosing
a check FOR 80 payable to the order OF
Private John H. Nangle, the fireman who
rescued Mrs. Haldeman and her daughter,
Mrs. Reagan, from the flames during the
fire at the formers place of business on
October 1G.
In her letter to Chief Belt Mrs Haldeman
says:
Il desire 70 express my deep appreciation
and thanks for the very prompt and effec-
tive work of the fire department in pre-
venting the total loss OF my property at
the fire which occurred at my place of bust
ness, 1913 Pennsylvania avenue northwest,
on the 18th inst.
Fortunately, the fire originated in and
was confined to the store and adjoining
room, where most of the goods belonging
to customers were Kept. Had it not been
confined to those two rooms, and had it
been allowed to spread to the rear apart
ment, or work rooms, where gasoline is in
use, the damage and destruction might
have been very great
Il am also conscious of the great heroisin
and bravery displayed by Private John H.
Nangle in saving my life. well as that
of my daughter, Mrs. Reagan. l was COM
pletely overcome and FRUSTRATED by the
smoke, and have no recollection of descend
ing the ladder with the brave fireman until
he placed me safely on the pavement.
Every good and noble deed deserves it's
reward. and in addition to requesting you
to express to him our most grateful obli-
cations for his heroic and manly act l
irclose a check for 50, payable to his order,
which you will kindly hand to him. as an
incentive to others to emulate the noble
characteristics displayed on that occasio
The check will be handed to Private
Nangle.
