 To avoid the collision the chief threw his wheel hard to one side but the momentum was so great that the rear of his car slowed around and hit the big steamer with a crash that rip ped off the back of the chiefs auto and bent the axle of the steamer. Fortunately both Chief Mooney and Mechanic Tracy who occupied the chiefs car were able to cling to their seats and neither was injured by the impact.
 The accident occurred near the cor ner of State and Myrtle avenue Chief Mooney in his car was speed ing west toward West avenue on the right hand side of the street and No. 3's engine was coming in the oppos- ite direction, on the other side of the street
 No. 3's steamer was in charge of Clifford Murphy, a substitute driver, who was evidently unacquainted with the location of the hydrants for he passed by one hydrant, and then, in.
 
 whirled the steamer directly across State street right in the path of the chiefs flying car.
 Chief Mooney showed on the brakes and tried to turn his auto, but to avoid the collision was then impos- sible, and the rear of his car, which is arranged to seat four men, was rip- ped off completely.

 The smoke was penned into the at. tic without method of escape and the firemen found the atmosphere so thick that it would bound like a rubber ball. The blaze gnawed part way through the roof and the firemen had to f1n- ish the job and cut a ten foot hole before they succeeded in reaching the root of the evil and ending the trou- ble Damage about $500.
