Chief Isermann Of Fire De
partment Has His Muscles
Wrenched by Fall.
no LOOK INTO CONDITIONS

Chief of the fire department. Henry
Isermann is confined to his home today
as a result of injuries received while
attending to his official duties at a fire
on North Maple street on Friday after
noon and it may be some time before
he RECEIVERS entirely from his injuries.
The fire was in the basement Of house
and the entrance to it was through a
stairway just inside the front door of
the building. Chief Isermann opened
the door to the building and being IN
aware of the opening to the basement
plunged to the floor below. He fell in
such way that the muscles of his
right shoulder were separated and to-
day he is carrying his arm in sling
and it will be some time before he is
able to use it. At first he thought that
the injuries amounted 10 little more
than slight sprain Of the shoulder
but an examination slowed that the
! hgaments had been tom and the injury
| is proving a very serious one.
Conditions brought to light by the
fire have been ordered investigated at
once and it is probable that the police
will take steps to have better housing
conditions established. The basement
in which several people were living
and in which the fire broke out was de-
clared by the Chief to be unfit for the
use Of anyone. He declared that his
Investigation showed that the owner
of the house was living in the basement
and renting the two upper floors Of
the house to other families. The en-
trance to the building was of such a
nature that several of the firemen mar.
rowly escaped injury. Chief Isermann
ordered the entrance nailed up and
the people to get out of the basement.
| 1t is claimed that similar conditions
prevail in several other houses on the
west side of the city and just as soon
as the Chief is able to work again he

and make a trip through the district
and if necessary appeal to the state
to secure better conditions.
