ONE.

residence of Mr.. Wheeler on West
Main street The alarm proved 10
be false one, however, and there
was no need for the apparatus.
The auto was ont of the house and
started for the fire before the
horses with the other engines and
hose wagons were in the harness.
II was not a severe test of the ma
chine, as the roads were in good
condition, and nothing interfered with
the run, but II served to show the
readiness OF the auto for an alarm.
Chief Slaughter says the machine
is working nicer every day and runs
more smoothly than when first tried
out. Driver Ritter is getting familiar
with II and is able to run II a great
deal better than the man who came
with the machine.
