II should be called to the attention Of
the young people who chase up the hose
cart and ladder wagon each time there is
fire, that because there is chance to
stand on the side of the wagon they
should not avail themselves the privilege
of riding, as 1t takes only a few husky
lads to make up half ton OF more and
this must of course cause some delay,
especially on such a grade az was the
case last Saturday noon, when several
lads, better able to walk than the horses
were to pull that extra load boarded the
ladder wagon up the hill TO Garfield ave-
nue. and il was necessary for the driver
to use severe language TO relieve his team
of the extra load.

uneasiness for at one time in the first
FIVE minute period Shimkus had mar.

men were professional wrestlers, as they
