tap of the bell. The Mcclellan en-
gine arrived in nine minutes fat, fol-
lowed only thirty-five seconds later
by the Eagles. All of the apparatus
was on hand in less than ten minutes,
which is excellent time, considering
that it was a two-mile run, a large
part of which is over hills and hard
grades The Eagles claim that the
McClellans had proceeded several
hundred yards from their house when
the alarm sounded, but the McClel-
lans deny this.
Sixteen hundred feet of hose were
laid and the Mcclellan engine was
pumping in eleven minutes and few
seconds, so that if the streams had
worked properly, water would have
been secured in that time. But the
steamer had not been properly prim-

delay of half hour was caused, MAX

use of advancing movement to In
Clce the employers to close their
stores three nights week at s

way we must figure it,
If the engine had not been dry wa
ter would have been obtained at dis
tance of 1900 feet from the pond in
less than twelve minutes. AS it was,
1t took forty-twO minutes. The
stream was played on Jacob Wurg-
ler's saloon for few minutes and
was then taken about hundred
yards further down Inslee street and
put on several houses. Jacob Wurg-
Ter, by whom the firemen were en-
tertained after the test, was acct
dentally given. drenching, the full
force of the stream being turned on
him for a second or two.
About 8 o'clock the test was called
off and the firemen adjourned to
Wurgler's Grove, where refreshments
were served. They arrived home be-
fore 10 O'Clock.
Mayor Bollschweiler said this
morning that, although it was un.
fortunate that the steamer was not
working properly, he considered the
test successful, as it showed that the
firemen could get to that district in
less than ten minutes and it also
gave them an idea of the conditions
existing there.
