FIRE ENGINE
IS ORDERED
Splendid Fire Fighting Machine
Expected Next Week
fire BOYS ORGANIZE
Engine Company and Two fire Hose
Companies Fleet Officers
Thrty-three Men

Fort Pierce is making arrangements
to protect her property from fire in II
manner that is truly substantial by the
purchase of combined chemical and
pump fire engine.
Some weeks ago the town council
authorized the purchase Of this excel
lent fire fighting machine, and the same
was ordered without delay, and should
be here by the first of next week
With the machine will be two hose
reels and 1850 feet of hose. The Pax
ton building has been secured as tenn
porary fire headquarters until the town
builds a permanent fire hail. This is
good location for the safe keeping of
the engine, and will be easy of access
to all members of the fire department.
That our people are not tagging be-
hind the enterprise of the town council
is evidenced by the fact that an eilii-
cient fire department has already been
organized, is well differed, and now
needs only few members to complete
the rolls.
At meeting held some weeks ago
W. E. Tylander was elected chef; and
H. |. Klopp, secretary and treasurer.
The full list of officers was completed
at a meeting held last week. At pres
ent the fire department is composed of
80 men; Is men being on the engine
company and men on each of the two
hose companies, which will be differed
as follows: r. +. Minis, Jr., foreman
of engine company; C.. l.. Fabor, assist
ant foreman; w. r. Goldsmith, fore
man hose company No. /; c. f. Killer,
assistant foreman; A. B. Lowry, fore
man, hose company No. 2; r. w. God
frey, assistant foreman.
AS soon as the fire engine arrives our
boys will begin to practice and put
themselves in shape to protect the
buildings of the town from fire. 1t Is
hoped that their efficiency will soon be
recognized by the fire insurance COM
panes so that Il considerable lowering
in insurance rates can be installed with
out delay.

them, but, alas, they seemed unable to

The afternoon game was good exhi-
ton of ball playing, for the home team
seemed to settle down and work. The
lineup was strengthened for this game
by Racey, Tricc and Hendrix, of Jensen,
who had come up to see Cocoa get her
drubbing. While several costly errors
were made on both sides which ran the
score higher than it should have been,
everybody was pleased with the game,
which resulted in a score of 10 to 8 in
favor of the visitors.
During the last three innirgs the ex-
element was intense; the locals needed
one run to tie the score, but both teams
had settled down and third base was as
far as any runner was allowed to go.
Throughout the game the ladies in the
grand stand stood staumchly by the
home team, generously applaudng ey-
cry good play, and not only did some
of them blister their hands but others
actually wore holes in their gloves in
their efforts to cheer the boys ON to
victory.
The home boys realize their weak
points and will now settle down and
prepare to meet all corners. Practice
is all that is needed to develop some
good ball players among our boys.

Fatal Avalanche f!
TWO MINERS SWEPT
INTO ETERNITY.
0NMT T.6STES
Others Narrowly Escap-
ed Death.

Our Yankee Fork correspond
ent informs the MESSENGER that
at 1 o'clock on Tuesday, Jan. 16,
a snowslide came down from the
top of Mt. Estes, and ran over
the boiler room of the Montana
Development Co.'S. tunnel, and
killed two men and filled the
boiler room with snow, carried
away the smoke stack and scat
tered the cord-wood at the works
down the hill to the fat. The
men left the boarding house af-
ter dinner and were near the
boiler room when the slide came.
John West, the engineer, had
just entered the building, and he
was thrown out and against a
post and pile of cord-wood, but
he managed, by aid of the timb-
ers and wood, to keep on top
until the slide had passed. The
two other men were crushed
down by the snow and killed.
The body of Peter Mccullough
was recovered in about an hour,
but the body of VIM. Mcmahon
was not found until Friday after
noon. Harry Bellamy, the Supt.
of the works, and another man,
were detained at the boarding
house a few minutes, or they,
too, would have been victims to
the slide
The men at the mine brought
the bodies down to Jordan creek,
and parties at the Lake Hotel
and Sunbeam mines assisted in
bringing them to Bonanza, on
hand d-sleds, arriving at Bonanza
the afternoon of the 22nd, after
a very fatiguing trip. The bur
ial will be in the Bonanza ceme-
terry the afternoon of tomorrow,
the oath.
The storm began Monday, the
18th, and showed for four days
without intermission. The slide
extended around from the Double
Cabin to the vicinity of the
boarding house, nearly half q
mile, and started at the circle OF
the mountain, about 1900 feet
above the mouth of the tunnel
At the time of the slide it was
not thought that snow sufficient
had fallen to form a slide.
The two victims of the slide
were practical miners and hac
worked in various mines in thi:
section and in many camps o.
Arizona, California, and othel
sections, and were highly respect
ed by all who had formed theil
acquaintance since they came
here.
William Mcmahon was abou
So years of age, and was nativ,
of California. His parents, anC
other relatives reside in Lo:
Angeles, that State. Peter Nc
Cullough was about 33 years o
| age, and a native of Indiana.
About all that is known of tn,
two unfortunate victims is wha
, was learned through converse
ton with their companions, a.
there were no letters or paper
among their effects to throw an,
light as to the exact location o
, relatives.
There has been no mail in o
out for about week, but it i
believed the road will be opeI
again today. There is abou
three feet of snow.
