FIRE LAOOIES IN
NEW ENGINE HOUSE
Moving Day Comes on the
18th and There Is Fear
Of Hoodoo.

The central fire department bid fare
well to its old quarters last night
by making a last run from the old city
hall building to the Columbia avenue
bridge, one of the longest runs that
they have had in many months.
The boys took possession of their
quarters on Truman avenue, last even
ing, the 18th They will always be in
position to blame the hoodoo here
after when anything goes wrong. The
advisability of moving on a 18th was
fully discussed by the old quarters
were almost unbearable and so the de-
partment took the chance.
Chief Dnschneider hoping to chain
the hoodoo in the old station, re-
mained alone at the old quarters last
night under the pretense of watching
the Indicator in case an alarm should
be turned in. The fact that the de-
partment has had no fire up to noon
today indicates that the chief shackled
the hoodoo quite securely.
Boys set Bridge AHre.
Everybody is working and on the
job in the new fire station today. Elec-
tricians and telephone men are work
ing hard to put the department in
spic and span order.
The old place looks deserted with the
exception of privileged mouse or a
stray rat who scurry across the floor
when an intruder enters.
The change for which the depart
ment had patiently waited a year has
come at last and while everybody re-
joices with the department. the boys
are the ones that really appreciate
their new fire house.
The fire a the Columbia avenue
bridge yesterday afternoon was not as
serious as it might have been Depart

trail station and within short time
the fire was under control
