.FIREMEN called OUT ON
EARLY MORN FAKE runs

Twice last night the Fire Depart
ment was called upon to respond to
false alarms of FIRE. First the district
companies were called 10 Box IS. at
Sixth and Spruce streets, and when
two truck companies and four engine
companies responded, they found no
fire and. naturally were correspond
ingly disgruntled at being hustled
out OF their nice warm beds in the
middle of the night to make what the
fremen call a monkey run"
Hardly had the companies returned
to their quarters and the firemen
gotten back into their little beds
when the clang of the gOngs routed
out every fireman in Wilmington with
a call to No. 313 box, at Second and
Lombard streets. Again the district
hremen speeded down there, while
the other companies awaited further
calls from the gOngs, to find that the
only sign. of fire was an open IRE
alarm box with a broken glass and
that there was none 10 be found who
knew anything about any fire.
Patrolmsn Donlon who was patrolhns
his beat when he heard the alarm, hust-
led down to the scene of the disturbance
and though he found no FIRE, he found a
citizen who informed him that the men
who struck the alarm had run into Lord
street DOnlon sprinted it down Lord
street. where he cav q man dodge
into yard. Donlon lodged IN there
also. and found two men and sent them
in TO the police station. In the City
Court this morning, Assistant City So
licitor Lynn requested continuance Of
the cases until tomorrow. in order to en-
able him to secure evidence, but Judgt
Churchman thought that the case should
have been ready for presentation, ans
dismissed both cases.
Some of the frernen, if they eatct
anyone sending in false alarms of fire
are determined that the guilty persons
shall be fit subjects for hospital treat
ment, and not for trial in courts, wheS
