Of iniuring themselves by bad falls on
the ice. but the lives OF the fremen
are endangered as wen"
In citing some of the false alarms
received lately Chief Ward said: "or
last Monday night a week while I was
out Of town. box No. 81 was struck. bui
at the Weccacie engine house box No
2e or S6 was registered. IN consequence
Of which that company went out Mary.
land avenue on a monkey run. on
+ last Tuesday four alarms were struci
and registered in two or three engine
houses. On last Saturday night No

by the linemen to be prepared, the!
claiming It had burned out. IL wa
