from under the fatal canopy just as it
crushed out the lives behind him
I'm all right, chief" he told the assist
ant marshal a few minutes later. Black
ened and blistered, he was the only man
left of his crew.
Steady streams of water from one whole
fire company, which Seyferlich directed.
had somewhat cooled the fallen wall an
hour after It had buried its victims, and
Seyferlich declared at 1880 a. m. he heard
voice.
A shouted command brought another de-
tachment of fremen from nearby posts,
who tore at the pile of debris with bare
hands, axes and poles in the hope that
some OF the men were still alive Four
bodies were recovered in a few minutes.
They were those of Joseph Muraweski,
pipeman: Patrick E. Collins, engine cap
tain: Dennis Doyle engine captain, and an
unidentified pipeman.
By II o'clock the news OF Horan's death
had reached all the firemen, and many OF
them sobbed aloud they heard IT. Those
who were detailed to recover the bodies
wept as bits of clothing Of their lost COM
rades came to light. A crushed helmet
brought up in a scoop Of the big scraper

their labors with tears streaming down
their faces.
A graphic story Of the collapse OF the
east wall which carried the men down
TO death beneath the wood covering, Is
told by Lieutenant Joseph Mackey, who
was leading a company CT f1remen from
the top of the canopy.
Mackey said as he locked up he saw
the walls bulge and he Immediately
shouted a warning. At the same time he
Jumped from the platform himself and
was followed Immediately by ten Or
twelve of his men. None Of those lost
their lives but their escapes were miracu-
lous.
II knew Marshal Koran and Burroughs
were beneath me with at least two COM
panies of men, said Mackey. and I
shouted to them that the walls were COM

Immediately after 1 jumped L heard
the groans of the men who had been be-

. Rescue Beyond Human Power.

1T was beyond human power to do any
thing for the moment, as tons of brick had
come down. When the bodies are found

mortar"
Hope of the firemen and the hundreds of
admirers of Fire Marshal Horan. that the
freighter and his men had not perished,
was practically lost when Battalion Chief
Lacey. who is in charge of the stock yards
division. told of seeing the marshal and
Burroughs, together with eighteen or TWEEN
ty men. go down beneath the falling wall.
Chief Horan was in front of the pipe
men," said Lacey, "and Burroughs short
distance behind him directing the work Of
pipemen when the crash came. [ know
just where they were, and am sure they
had no chance of escape. Dozens of fire
men saw the same situation, and many of
the men ran to the pile almost frantic and
began throwing the bricks away with their
hands. They were like so many Goals of
fire, and any work of that sort was use
less.
Il ordered them back to fight the flames
with their lines of hose in the hope that
the fire might be stopped in time TO find
way to rescue the poor fellows we had all
heard go down 10 what seemed certain

Il was determined to make every effort
within human power to save the men, but
the condition of the building made it sui
cidal for the rest of us to try TO enter it.

osTEoPATHY IN
NERVE TROUBLES

AS Osteopathy deals with nerves
very largely, and makes more thor
ough study of their duties and their
,ufferings than any other school, it
s not at all strange that it has
achieved better results in the treat
nent of nervous diseases than old
nethods have ever attained. No
slim ulant is administered to whip
he jaded nerves into action, no sed-
ltive given to make ii seem as If
pain and suffering had departed
rhe actual cause of the arrangement
is hunted down and made normal
again. So that cures wrought by
this method, although not always
rapid, are permanent cures every
line. And usually very speedy re-
lief is secured.

TIMBER SALES ON
NATIONAL FORESTS

Washington, and they show timber
sales of over SO million feet, for
nearly $114,OOO, during the last six
months of 1909. This compares with
sales of about II million feet, for a
total of $4,000, during the same
period in 1908.
The local officers of the depart
ment are much pleased with the
fact that the demand for national
forest timber Is increasing so decid-
edly. The prospects for the coming
six months are regarded as promis-
ing even better than what has been
realized in the period just past. This
increasing timber sale business op-
ems the way to management Of the
national forests along the best lines,
by permitting the removal Of over
mature and decadent timber which
has practically come to a standstill
in point of growth, and allowing re-
placem emit CT these trees with a
fully stocked stand Of rapidly grow

strange story. l did not believe him,
for 1t cannot be true. He said that
in America people buy dogs" And the
mere suggestion of so ludicrous a
transaction sent the assembled group
into paroxysms of laughter.
"They do" l replied.
