THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE,

Last Sunday Chicago celebrated the 5Oth an
niversary of the historic fire which almost wiped it
from the map, and which stands as one of the great
est CONGREGATIONS of modern times. An interesting
story Of the fire was written for the Chicago Tribune
by Michael Ahern, who at the time of the fire was
asreporter on the Chicago Independent, and who re-
ported the story of the fire for his paper at that
time. Mr.. Ahern is said to be the only survivor of
the group of reporters who covered the great fire
for the daily press.
The main facts relating to the fire have been re-
hearsed many times, but Mr.. Ahern in his present
story brings into strong contrast some of the condi-
tons Of those days with those of the present. Chi
cago had a fire alarm system then, but it was far
from being the exact affair that exists today. The
telephone had not yet been invented, so there was
no such thing as calling up" a fire station by the
neighbors. News of a fire had to be carried to the
nearest station, or at least to the nearest alarm box,
by messenger. On the tops of the FIRE halls and of
the court house were watch towers in which were
stationed observers whose duty it was to keep watch
for the appearance of fires in their districts. This
plan worked fairly we'll on many occasions, but fog
and smoke often concealed a fire until it had reached
dangerous proportions, and distances were difficult
to Judge. The writer says that the alarm system
was out of order at the outset of the great fire, be-
cause of a half-1nillion dollar FIRE the night before.
Wires had been burned, some of the FIRE fighting ap-
paratus was out Of order, and many of the men were
exhausted. With all these handicaps it is said that
the ire could have been held in check had not the
tower observer who reported it been deceived in the
matter Of distance by smoke, and the first engines
ordered out went far out Of their way. Meantime
the wind had given the blaze.a goodstart, and then
everything went.
The fire has been generally attributed to the
peevishness of Mrs. O'Leary's COW, which is said
to have kicked over a lantern while her owner was
milking. %neighbor declares that this is not true.
On that Hateful evening she and some friends were
within plain view of the O'Leary barn, and they OBJ
served da group Of men sitting BY the barn drinking
beer, smoking and chatting: She says that some Of
the nieny, still smoking, went into the barn, and she
believes that the fire was caused by sparks from
their pipes. On the basis of the evidence, therefore,
i appears that the verdict must be one Of acquittal
for Mrs OLeary's COW.
