fire department. After a short con-
suitation the latter ordered out engine
company No. 8 and a line of hose. Su-
perintendent Bingham also ordered
every man to cooperate with the fire
men, and finally the mob slowly fell
back before the water. One of the
strike breakers was assisting the fire
men in holding the hose, when a well
directed brick hit him on the head and
