been caught in a burning building.
Oa the last occasion he was eS-

seriously burned. Firemcn turned
a hose on him TO extinguish the
FIRE which was burning his limbs.
He remained four months in a

Delays are not always danger
Gus, according to the log book OF
Martin Dillecn, assistant chief. He
has in mind the Shiveriek fire in
1898, when he revcrscs the. popu-
lar notion. about delays.
1T was in June, on a Saturday
night, as | recall it, said the as
sistant chief, when the Shiverick
fire alarm was sent in. | was
with Hose company No. 7 at the
fine and while ascending an out
side stairway I met Tom Gray,
who was carrying a hose line and
who complained that his wrist had
been sprained. So I helped Gray
and then got onto the Maurer roof
which was next to and lower than
the Shiverick building

few seconds ahead Of the crash.
Captain Cox and Rob Oury OF my
company were killed beneath that
wall and I would have been with
them if Gray had not delayed me
on account of his sprained wrist"
Old Boyd Theater Burned.
Many Onahans remember the
fire which destroyed the old
Boyd theater at sthe southeast
corner of Fifteenth and Farnam
streets on October 2, 1898. Zina
Smith does. He is serving as
driver at fire station No. 2. Elev-
enth and Dodge streets. He has
been in the fire department %
years, which length OF service usu-
ally earns the sobriquet of veter-
an, but Mr.. Smith AYERS that he
does not feel like veteran.
From stage driver in the Black
Hills to driver of modern motor
fire apparatus is far cry, but not
too far for Driver Smith, whose
nerve seems to be as steady to-
day in guiding his heavy machine
at a rapid pace, as it was when
he negotiated the hills and turns
in the Black Hills with a six-in-
hand years ago.
Retrace Steps to Safety.
Il entered the service OF the fire
during September,
1892, and the first large fire I at
tended was at the old BOYD
theater in 1885, he said.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-09-18

At the time OF the theater fire
Mr.. Smith was driver for Hook
and Ladder company No. l and
c. c. Trobee was driver for En-
gine company No. 4. The twain
entered the burning building by
way OF the stage door in the alley
and it was Trobee who suggested
that they should retrace their steps
to safety.
81 told Trobee that l was will
ing to 60 OH with the work or to
leave as he suggested continued
Mr.. Smith. 1--WE returned to the
alley and within a minute the wall
fell out. 4 admit that | expert
enced queer feeling, because /
had not been in the department
very long"
THE Waits OF New York" had
just finished a rehearsal at the
Boyd theater when a gas jet in
the flies ignited the scenery and
started a fire which destroyed the
building.
Horses to Gasoline.
Zina Smith was familiar fig
ure on the streets when he drove
four horses attached to a large
aerial truck. His experience as a
stage driver served him we'll as a
driver OF llorse-drawn fire ap-
paratus. When horses were re-
placed by. motor apparatus and the
men were expected to become ia
miliar with motorized equipment,
some OF the fire. 1addies nlarveled
at the ease with which Mr., Smith
made the grade from horses to
gasoline.
He drives the motor truck just
like he did 1.-THE old four-horse
team" remarked Capt. R. w.
Oliver, "and you know what a
chariot rider he was with the four
horses"
At first Driver Smith was loatn
to part from his horses, but his
mind soon became motorized and
he AYERS that he, would not return
by his own choice to the old horse
system of lccomotion.
A Marrow Escape.
Jerry Sullivan, now serving as
battalion chief in the South Side,
joined the department on March
IL, 1891, and he has served at
nearly every large fire in Omaha
during the last 50 years. The
Kingman FIRE is underlined in his
memory's book on account OF a
narrow escape he had from death.
He was member of Hose Com
pany No. 5. Eighth and Pierce
streets, at the time. He and sew

Mr. Sullivan added that the

At the Haydens' store fire he was
