Department Has Run.

The fire department was given lit
tie run through the sand yesterday
when some one turned in an alarm
from the east end of town. Investi-
cation found that the prairie grass had
taken fire and had to be extinguished.
This was effected after some difficulty.
Assistant chief of the department,
Paulson, who evidently had charge of
the run. failed to ascertain whether the
boys had sufficient hose for an emery
ency and had the fire been confined to
a house in that locality, destruction
would have been its fate.
