The county as it stands, with a
length OF over ninety miles and a
width of about sixty miles, was all
right under old conditions. but the
rush OF settlers will make a demand
for smaller counties, and it is only a
question OF time until division will be

When the firemen reached the
scene there was a mass Of flame
bursting through the middle of the
roof. while the air was filled with
heartrending screams OF the women
and the curses of the men. Many dar-
ing rescues were made by the firemen,
who at times had to use violence In
their attempts to disentangle the mass
of writing human beings struggling in
vain efforts to reach safety from the
crowded fire escapes. One 3reman
climbed to the fourth floor, where a
window was filled with a mass of
people, jammed in and fighting TO get
out. He struck the heads of all the
men he could see with his fist, and
they fell back. He then handed down
to the firemen on ladders below three
women and a baby. Another fireman
performed a similar feat and rescued
two girls from the fourth floor.
