FIRE THREATENS POLK
 STREET BOOMING HOUSE
Only Good Work on Part of Depart ment Saves Old Time Structure

Fire from causes not determined up to q late hour last night, threatened the destruction of The Home, formerly known as the Polk Street Rooming House. on Polk street, between Second and Third street shortly before seven o'clock last evening. In the excitement, attendant upon the discovery of the fire, there was confusion in turning in an alarm, none thinking to use tele- phone and another running past the nearest fire alarm box in order to reach another three blocks distant When the alarm was finally sounded, the ent.e roof was ablaze. and there seemed lit tie hope of doing more than preventing the spread of the flames to adjoining property.
 Two auto fire trucks were on the scene almost before the second round of the alarm had come in and the third was close behind. Four streams of wa ter began playing upon the flames,
Arizona republican., 1914-11-29

while the chemical tanks were emptied at the front of the building, giving the firemen an opportunity to mount to the balcony and enter the second floor with stream. In few minutes every semblance of fire had been extinguish- ed. Under all the circumstances it was as good piece of fire fighting as could be desired
 The building is the property of Louis Killeen and was occupied by Mrs. Taylor, who conducted it as general rooming house. There was little saved from the upper floor and but little re- moved from the first floor, although it is believed that there will be small damage to the first floor other than that caused by the flood of water poured into the building Killeen car ried enough insurance to probably cover the loss which may reach about S2000. He also owned portion of the furniture and the remainder was the property of Mrs. Taylor.

SAYS COSSACK BRAVERY
 KNOWS NO BOUNDS
Count Leo Tolstoy Writes Of His I'm pressions of Russian Cavalry
 men.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 2S.-Count Leo Tolstoy, son of the famous novelist, writes in the Novoe Vremya his inn pressions of the Cossacks:
 "Cossack bravery he says. knows no bounds. Their little horses are just like their masters, and they are performing wonders I know the case of a Cossack who, meeting a German patrol much larger than his own, gal loped off at full speed across the track where the German officer was about to pass, with the object of meeting him. In this he succeeded, and at the critical moment he whis pered to his horse the sacramental Cossack expression, 'Kshe, Kshe,'
 The horse came to a dead stop. but the German could not pull up so quick ly, and he brushed past As he did so the Cossack. with perfect self-pos- session and calculation, rose in his stirrups and drove his lance through lying wounded in one of the Polish hospitals. His horse is dead. The wound he considers a small matter, but the death of his horse has nearly broken his heart.
 "The stamina and endurance of these men are scarcely less wonderful than their bravery. I have seen at this same hospital a handsome young trooper with a shock of raven black l hair who is recovering from terri | bly, mangled chest. He was not
 wounded by the enemy, but fell down a steep ravine He was hurled down | the steep side to the bottom with his l horse, the pair rolling over and over. Tined octors say that nobody but a I Cossack could survive such an experl-
 ence.
 What is death to such men? It IS nothing Only deeds count with them.
 In the heat of battle Cossack feels
 throughout his whole being that for him nothing is impossible. There IS | no obstacle he cannot surmount, no , enemy he cannot vanquish. With such
 an army Russia is bound to march {, to victory"

players were unable to be there. 1t
is hoped that return game can be

ing through with a second victory.

there necessitating his being at Che
beague for only a short time.
Miss Henrietta Harris is giving a
series of talks at the various cottages
on the subject of first aid to the in
jured. These talks, which will be
twelve in number, have already been
given at the Albion, Robbins and
Harris cottages, and have been most
| interesting to those fortunate enough
to be present. Miss Harris became
interested in this subject last win
ter, when she took the Red Cross
Course in Aid to the Injured in con-
nection with Y. w. C. A. work at
Springfield.
