Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-09-30

Firemen Rescue Six Men-Six men
were saved by fremen yesterday from
asphyXiation. Bewildered and blinded
by the smoke from the flames beneath
them the six roomers at 1924 East Sec
ond street, were unable to find the exit
of their room and were almost suffo-
Gated when they were rescued by
Dan Shire. utility man, Chief Denger
and Assistant Chief Moses. When the
firemen entered the room in which the
seven had been sleeping the men were
lying on the floor practically uncon-
scious. The men, one by one, were
passed from hand to hand of the rescu-
ing party to the outside of the flaming
building. They recovered within a few
minutes. With nothing but an ordi-
nary respirator as a protection against
the smoke, Dan Shire pushed his way
into the room, together with Chief
Denger and Third Assistant Chief
Moses. In the smoke choked air il
was impossible to make out any object
at a distance greater than a few inches. !
Chief Denger and Shire were forced
to locate the suffocating occupants by |
sense of touch alone. One by one the |
men were passed out OF the room and !
down the stairs. One member of the |
party, with more presence of mind than |
the others, made a rope of his bed /
clothing and slid out of the window. ]
The remaining six were discovered |
huddled over the sleeping pallets like /
frightened sheep. making no attempt /
to save themselves after not being |
able TO find the door. The origin of /
the blaze was in the grocery store of
Theodore THEODORE. below the sleep
ing quarters. whether from spontan-
eous combustion or a cigaret is not /
known. The flames were fiercest just
beneath the stairway. The damage
will reach $500.

POET CY WARMAN
DIES IN CHICAGO

Chicago, April 7.-Cy Warman, poet
and short story writer, died to-day after
long illness. He formerly was presl-
dent of the American Press IIumorists
organization.
Mr.. Warman had been with the Grand
Trunk for ten years as general assistant
and he has been siGnaly successful and
effcctual in one direction-that of lectur-
ing with the aid of magic lantern slides
and the movies"
Being a poet as well as a railway man,
he gave color and grace and fancy to
efforts which otherwise would have been
a bare collection of facts and figures.
Mr. Warman originally began life as
locomotive engineer in the southern
States. He early began to scribble; wrote
verses; and. after years of effort got into
the magazines. 1t was the Mcclure people
who got him to write "A Thousand Niles
in a Night" and other short railway stor-
les which, dished up graphically, drew the
keen regard OF the public Stevenson, ex-
President Roosevelt, and others praised
his poetry, which, though not great was
in many instances, true and sincere and
worthy Of the austerc muses..

SUPT. d. ID. CIRCUIT
IDENTIFIES BODY
AS ASYLUM PATIENT

Waterbury, April 7.-Superintendent d.
u. GTout of the Vermont insane asylum
stated to-day there is no doubt that the
man found dead ON the shore of the
Winooski river Sunday was Charles Il.
Evans, who escaped from the asylum on
November 3, last, with Charles Benoit.
The latter was captured at Burlington
and brought back to the asylum. lie said
that Evans went with him, after they
had escaped down a dumbwaiter at the
State hospital, as far as Essex Junction
and that they separated there.
Dr. Grout. who went to Essex Junction
and viewed the body, said there were
initials Of Evans on the clothing on the
mans body and also the initials of the
State asylum, V. 5. II. This identiiica-
ton was contrary to that of Mrs. Fred
Carpenter of Mortified. a sister of Evans,
who went to Essex Junction, and after
viewing the remains declared there was
little or nothing to make her believe
that the body was that of Charles Evans,
1t is understood that the remains will be
buried in Essex Junction
