There seems to be q considerable

are the statutory provisions OF the
Code and the amendatory require
ments Of subsequent session laws in
relation to the free ranging OF cattle
in the winter season. To the end
that Record readers may better un-
derstand just what is lawful In the
premises, we give the following in-
formation from the statutes:
Section 1549 OF the Political Code
provides that sit shall be lawful for
cattle, horses, ponies and sheep to run
at large from the first day OF Novem-
Der to the fl5st day Of April, each year,
except within the corporate limits Of
any city or village. Provided, That no
stallion Or vicious bull, or any other
animal known to be vicious, shall be
allowed to run at large at any time.
But nothing Ia this code shall be con-
strued TO repeal any special act estab-

1t seems that about ten days ago u

pay him nothing unless he staid the

story Of our fight of last week. Of
course, there is at least one general
theory that can be followed in fighting
fire, and that is to surround it. How
to do that will depend entirely upon
generally formulated on the way to the
fire, and is completed Immediately upon
arrival, and when we learn exactly
where it is.- Then the chief takes some
central position, usually at the front of
the building, where he can be found.
Then he assigns his different chiefs to
ferent departments come up, as in the
case of q big fire, he tells them what
district chief to report to. These chiefs
make frequent reports to him, so that
he knows Just how the fight is progress
the the Battlefield @ and knows knows what M P5rd orders rs
to give and where to send reinforce
ments. .,.. ...
"If. the fire in the Peck building of
last week had started in the upper story,
the task would have been comparatively
simple We would have flooded the floor
from going down. But when fire is in
the basement, the task is different and
much harder.
When It Starts Low.
"When arrived at the Peck building
I found that the men had already made
openings in the floor and had inserted
curved end, enabling the fremen to
throw water between the, floors. But
the difficulty Of this kind Of fighting
is increased by the fact that it takes
only a small fire in a basement to fill
the story above with i smoke,
so that; remaining within +. the
room is certain death. Then there
are, as :. always, stairWays,zi" ele-
vator shafts, etc., which carry the
flames upwards, as was the case in the
Peck building. -. s.>-...
"Another difficulty Of the basement
fire is the fact that there are usually
few windows from. which the fire can
be reached. .".
9"In the. case of. the Peck building,
another popularity Of fires was illus
trated. At first it seemed like a harm
less affair, but, no fire is harmless un-
til it is absolutely extinguished. It
suddenly assumed terrible headway and,
do what we could, we could not stop its
progress. The battle then became one
/ for the salvation of surrounding prop
erty, one of the prime duties Of fire.
