DEVINE'S TOBOGGAN.
Slide for Life by Fire Chief En- Route
To Fire.

Chief Devlne OF the fire department
has a novel scheme for going down q
l50-foot hill to a fire. He put the
scheme into execution yesterday morn
ing and 1t proved successful so far as
going down the hill is concerned, but It
brought ruin to his Sunday trousers and
incidentally caused him the loss OF con-
siderable skin. His neck was also
sprained In the jolt he received.
Shortly before noon an alarm came
into station No. from Bishop o. F.
Whitney's residence, 1853 Fourth street.
Chief Devine quickly responded TO the
alarm but went up street Instead OF
going up Canyon road Just west of A
on Fourth street there is a very steep
hill. When the chief reached the top
he tied his horse and started down the
hill on foot. As before stated, he start.
ed on foot but he didn't stop on foot
lie had not gone many PAGES before his
feet utterly failed him and he struck
the ice with a joil that threatened to
loosen few back teeth, Then he be-
gan TO slide rapidly down the hill, en-
countering several rocks In the descent
Something stopped the chief he is not
certain what II was, but he knows he
came 10 a sudden step and managed to
scramble to his feet He got to the
fire on record time and soon had. the
blaze out,
The fire was caused by defective
nue and burned hole through the
floor into a clothes closet The loss Is
estimated at about $40.

Britt Is clever two-handed fighter at
long range, postmaster at defensive
tactics, and can walk In and swap
punches with the best OF them. II seems
10 be the opinion OF a good many OF the
wise ones out In Frisco that Britt will
not prove as hard for the champion to
stop, as Hanlon was. Well. maybe Britt
won't, but there Is one thing In Britts
favor which Is n big factor IN facing a
man with the puhThlng power Of Corbett.
Britt has never been Knocked of his
feet for the count: therefore. should the
champion happen to drop him Britt will
not lose his head and go up In the air.
II was the proud boast Of Hanlons
friends that Eddy had never been knocked
on his feet. This. In my opinion, was a
big handicap 10 Hanlon when going
against punoher like Young Corbett.
No matter how game fighter is his
first knock-down Is sure 10 rattle him

has been ut the business as long az
Young Corbett has knows this and will
take advantage by Keeping right after his
