time bv the local fire department.
Governor Hadley personally directed
the fight against tn" flames, which rapid
ly gained great headway. The pentten-
tiary fire department was called and the
conVlcts worked hcroicaIiE. scaling walls
and taking dangerous chances.
The local military company was also
summoned and formed n Gordon around
the building. driving spectators 1roln
dangerous positions and removing rec
ords. The fire soon spread to the rooi
OF the senate chamber, where the efforts
OF the firemcn 10 check IT proved unaN:nI-
Ing.
The records OF the present house OF
representatives, were DESTROYED "hiie
those Of the senate were saved. IN INC INC
