Dan Noonan Of Engine House No. 2, Receives Fatal
Injuries in Collision Between Fire Wagon
and Street Car-Dies Without Regain
ing Consciousness.

As result of collision be-
tween the hose wagon of engine
house No. 2 and inwardbound
Epanaway car No. 146, at 6
pollock last evening, Dan Noonan,
relief fireman, received injuries
from which he died at 3:45 this
morning. J. w. Taylor, relief
driver of the hose wagon. was
also hurt in the accident, but his
injuries will not prove serious.
Skull Fractured.
Noonan, who was standing on
the rear step of the wagon as 1t
whirled down the steep Twenty
third street hill in response to an
alarm from a building near the
st. Louis Single mill property on
the tidefiats, was thrown to the
pavement when the car and wagon
came together, and was caught
between the overturned wagon
body and the curb. His head was
split open and Doctors examina-
ton proved that he suffered a
compound fracture at the base of
the skull. He was taken immedi-
ately to the Fannie Paddock hos
pital, but did not regain conscious
ness, gradually sinking until he
expired this morning.
According to statements of Cap
tain q. N. Whitaker and w. T.
Bing, who were on the hose
wagon, they had proceeded from
the engine house on Twenty-sev-
enth street along Jefferson avenue
to Twenty-third street, owing to
the blocked condition of Twenty
fifth. At the top of the Twenty
third street hill they noticed the
car at Twenty-fourth street, but
believed 1t would stop and allow
them to pass. When the wagon
