A NEEDLESS CALL.
Firemen Answer Alarm Friday Eve
ming, But Find No Fire.

The fire department responded Fri
day evening to an alarm which was
sounded at S.21 from Box 81, near the
factory boarding house on Water
street, but which proved to have been
a needless call as there was no fire.
The two hose teams and the hook and
ladder truck made a quick run but
the boys found on their arrival that
their services were not needed.
The scene of the supposed fire was
tenement house at 16 Bond street,
owned by the Edwards Manufacturing
Co. and occupied by Charles Colombo
and family. On the arrival of the fire.
men the only occupant of the house
was q little boy. the son of the CO.
lomes, and he was found under a ta-
BILE.
Upon inquiry by Chief Buckley 1t
was learned that Mrs. Colombo had
gone to the moving pictures and had
left the child alone in the house. He
had in some way upset a lamp, and
the outcry which he raised in his
fright attracted the attention of par
ties outside and resulted in the ring
ing in Of the alarm. The all-out was
sounded at $50.
