ALL BUT ONE DIE.
''E1u'' Almost Wipes Out Entire Tire
 Company In Denver,

Denver, Col, Feb. 13.-A week a go F. P. Snider was simply the driver of Engine Company No. 20 of the fire department Now he's the captain, lieutenant, driver and pipemal-in fact, he is Engine Company No. 20.
 The ''f1u'' is the reason.
 John Glenn Atkinson, lieutenant of the company, died of influenza a week ago. The day after Atkinson's death Captain William Lindsay was strlck- en, and the next day Pipeman Abe Coopersmith was taken home, leaving Snider alone in the house. When Snider goes to his meals he locks up the house and reports the company out of service.
 When an alarm comes in from his district he hitches up the team, climbs on the seat, trips the harness hangers and Is off. If on his arrival at the ire he finds it necessary to lay out hose his only recourse is to call for volunteers to assist him.
 Chief Healy is unable to give him help, because several other companies are almost as bad off for men on ac- count of the epidemic and the normal
