 What was your vision?" inquired one of the elders

dozens of acts of the greatest heroism were performed. Man after man plunged into the blinding and suffo- eating smoke in the effort to reach the source of the flames, and not less than thirty-four members of the de- partment were carried out in an un- conscious condition from the effects of the smoke. Of these, three may die and Andy Hegg and Howard Kent are in most critical condition. Kent, half crazed by his anxiety to do his duty, fought his rescuers when he had once been overcome by the smoke and tho he was carri ed from the base ment in a fainting condition and guarded by his comrades, suddenly leaped to his feet and dashed back in- to the burning building. Several men followed him but for some minutes could not locate him in the smoke, finally finding him lying unconscious i the thic t of u 6 smoke and steam. After many hours work, In which the men worked in relays, the fighters staying in the building each time till human endurance could stand no more, the fire was gradually subdued, and adjoining buildings which were rapidly being vacated, were declared safe. The loss is confined largely to merchandise in the Hinckley building and will amount to about one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. A full and rigid investigation of the fire and the condition which made the fighting so difficult will be start de as soon as Captain Conrad returns to the city.
