FIREM EN-
ARE MAKING PREPARATIONS
LEADING TO FURTHER EFF.
ciENcY IN THE SERVICE

At n meeting of the Warren Engine
Company held Thursday night 1t was
the Wish of the Company that Ju.
nior Warren Engine Company be
formed in this city to consolidate
with the Seniors and to aid them in
the fire protection of Carson City.
A committee of five members OF
the company has been appointed TO
ready getting busy along the lines
laid out. II Is the desire OF the COM
mittee that ali young men between
the ages of IL and 90 who desire to
become members of the Junior COM
pany leave their names with Frank
H. Meder at his cyclery and the same
will be- given consideration by the
committee AT a meeting to be held
the early part of the coming month.
Carson City has number of husky
young men who are barred from the
Warrens owing to their age and who
would be of great service to the city
in time of fire. The city has recent
~ consolidated the Warren Company
with the old Curry Company and has
added to the equpmen, Of tne former
u chemical engine of the latest and
most modern pattern. With the as
sistanCc of the Junior Company the
additional apparatus acquired by the
consolidation of the two companies
could be handled with greater rapid
ity and much better results in time
of fire and would be of great service
to the citizens and property holders
living here.
II is the intention of the company
to give the Juniors certain apparatus
which they will control and the new
company will be governed by officers
Of heir own selection from their
ranks. While the new company will
be- under the direct supervision of the
officers of the Senior company the
two will be distinct from each other
and in time of emergency each will
have their own especial duties to
render.
The idea is a good one and should
meet with the hearty support of tne
young men of the city and should
also be given all necessary support
by the city authorities and residents
Of Carson.

system. In the safe in the quartermas-
ters' department Coleman left s3,4o0

coins dated back to 1878, the year
that Coleman entered Uncle Sans
service.
Coins ranging from nickel up to
a $50 gold piece were stacked in Cole
mans private box, each on its separ-
ate pile.
It would seem that every time Cole
man had money to deposit during the
last 36 years, whether in gold or in
in its regulation pile. Some of the
silver was jet black when discovered
and evidently it had remained just
as il was originally placed, as dust
had accumulated over the different
layers.
MONEY DISTRIBUTED BY WILL
Coleman was not 'close" in money
affairs, but exceedingly generous in
his own modest way. Every year he
sent Christmas cards to his friends
and last Christmas he was the recip-
lent OF 164 Christmas gifts.

bate in Oakland yesterday and it pro-
vided that a vein in his arm should
be opened TO make sure that he was
not buried alive.
The will consisted of seven type
written pages. and named the public
