MYSTERIOUS ALARM Is
TURNED IN BY HORSE
Animal, Attached to No. Company,
PIttsburg, Causes Flremen and
Operator to Be
Puzzled

PITTSBURG. Pa. June 7.-While a
confIagration was raging in Woods run
yesterday morning and the fire whistle
announced another across the river in
McKees Rocks trained horse attached
to No. engine house, Northside, sent
in an additional alarm of fire.
The firemen of the western North
side district were fighting spectac-
ular fire at the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany's work near Cass avenue when
the ticker tape in the fire alarm office
at city hall wheeZed and the big fire
bell on Sandusky street struck 3-4-5.
calling an additional detachment of
the department to the car works.
The fire was under the firemen's
control when they heard of the Sec
ond alarm They were in quandary.
Then it occurred to them that someone
had sent in an alarm from the Cass
avenue box for the fire on the McKees
Rocks side, which was illuminating the
landscape.
Two of the flremen ran to tele-
phone and asked Operator Harry Pink
erton concerning the second alarm.
The operator was told that there was
no need for assistance-that. the nre
was about extinguished
Then the firemen went to the box
IN investigates. They learned that an
old horse that had been detached from
No. SIS engine and hitched to tele--
graph pole bearing the fire box had
nulled down the lever inside the open
box with his mouth and sent in the
second alarm.
The firemen yesterday were of the
opinion that the horse knew what he
was doing when he turned in the alarm.
They point out the animal has been
in the department for twelve years and
is familiar with all its workings. What
then was more natural, they ask, than
that this veteran. seeing the Mckees
Rocks blaze, should turn In an alarm!

DETERMINATION
OF DEER RAPID
wHoLEs SLAUGHTER OF AMI
MAILS AT WATERING PLACES
IN THIS STATE.

CHARLESTON. w. va, Nov. 24.--
Agitation for better game law has
been started in this section owing 10
the wholesale slaughter and probable
exterm!natEn of deer. West Virginia
deer are now restricted to sections
along the, Greenbrier river in the
counties OF Greenbrier, POcahontas
and Randolph. Since the court de.
cision prohibiting deputy wardens
from receiving remuneration from the
fines collected from violators, they
have quit work.
1t is said that hunters are pursu.
ing deer with hounds and killing then,
at their watering places contrary to
law. while the forest fires have burned
out their natural coverts and have
given the lawless huntsmen com.
parattvely fair and open field.
1t is thought that unless something
is done quickly the deer will soon be
eXterminated.
