They were Captain Kane, Lieutenant
Volkert, Amos Therian and Ed Llewel-
Ign Of Engine company No. IA; Captain
Price, Matt Spittle and Charles Craigie
Of Hose company No. and Lieutenant
Nick Loye of No. 2 truck.
AS the men were fighting the flames

DOG LIVES, THO GIVEN
SUPPOSED FATAL DRUG

One tablespoonful Of prussic acid is
enough to kill the average dog. When
a dog takes two spoonfuls and then
wags his tail and whines for more there
is something the matter, either with the
acid or the dog. An incident Of this
nature has caused the Humane Society
to start an agitation for gas chamber
and in the meantime to equip it's official
killer with a gun.
Not long ago tender hearted
woman telephoned to the society IS Of
fee that she had a. dog which was find
ing life a. burden and requested that a
man be sent to put it out of it's misery.
The agent used prussic acid. Instead
Of writhing in his death agony, the
brute showed all the signs OF revival
It is still living happily in his old
home, but the society's agent is Ill at
ease. The only theory by which he can
account for the unaccountable action Of
the deadly poison is that he has been
the victim Of substitution and from
faint suggestion Of departed spirits
which hangs about the vial is almost
persuaded that the drug clerk, suspect
ing him Of designs upon his own life
gave him whisky -.
