HOSE COMPANY TURNED DOWN.

There is trouble in the North Shore
Fire Department, all because it is said
that the department has held up the
application of Rocky HOSE Company,
q company recently organized in Elm
Park, Staten Island, with eighty men,
bers.
Last month Mayor Mcclellan and
Fire Commissio on er Hayes gave a
charter to the hose company. They
ut onoe filed it with tho North Sh ore
Board of Fire Representatives, which
has charge of fire matters on that part
of Staten Island. To the a. %tonishmant
OF the hose company representatives
their application was referred to n
committee, for what purpose the
members of the new company do not
know.
The representatives of Rocky Hose
Company made another request to the
Board on Friday, which also was re-
ferred to the committee. The repre-
sentatives then told the board that it
was apparent that it did not wish
their company to become part of the
North Shore Fire Department aud re-
quested that the board t their
application.
The Representatives of the new COM
pany have sought counsel and intend
to fight fires in their respective dis
trict anyway.
The district in which the new COM
pany was formed was in need of more
fire fighting apparatus, and it was on
this account that the company was
formed.

AxLES AS WHISKY KEGS
One Method of Peddling Liquor in the
Indian Territory-Proceeds
Buy a Farm.

An entirely new scheme OF whlsky
peddling has just been discovered IN
the Indian Territory, says the Topeka
Capital, and it seems to have been go
ing on for months. The officers OF the
district northwest of Herbert have
known for some time that whisky was
being sold to various parties, but not
until recently were the peddlers caught.
They had travelled around the country
in an old wagon drawn by a poor span
of Indian ponies and were, presumably,
buying eggs and poultry. They would
sell small bottles of liquor to farmers
and Indians through the neighborhood
and one dollar a pint was the usual
price. The officers discovered that
both axles of the old wagon were of
iron and very large. These axles were
hollow and would hold about four gall
Ions each. The peddlers would remove
q small bolt and insert a pump and
draw the desired amount of whisky.
One of the peddlers admits having
sold whisky in this way for five
months, and has made enough money
to buy a farm In Texas. He says he
will serve his time in jail and then
buy . farm.
