not be discovered and remained a mys-
terry. Captain .Delage recently had to
close the barred door of Cell 4 and after
he latched it, or thought it was latched,
he gave it a pull to see if it was secure.
To his surprise the door came open. The
captain called Patrolman Jarvis and re-
quested the officer to lock him, the cap
tain in the cell When the captain en-
tered the patrolman closed the door with
a bang. Then the captain made a couple
of mystic passes, threw himself against
the bars and Houdinied out. Investiga-
ton disclosed that the lock on the cell
door did not lock. 1t is now believed that
either this was the case when Vangel was
locked in and mysteriously disappeared,
or that he was responsible for the locks
condition. Anyway, Cell No. is out of
commission, temporarily, but will soon be
made prisoner-tight again.
Captain Delage calls attention to the
way some motorists are trying to beat
the fire apparatus to the site of a fire
when the alarm rings. The public has
been warned against this practice and
told that when a fire truck is approach
ing it is the duty of drivers to pull up
on one side of the road and wait until
the apparatus has passed. For short
while this request was obeyed. but at a
racing the apparatus to a fire has crop
ped out When the truck responded TO
an alarm Thursday morning the driver
of delivery truck nearly ran into the
fire truck and Captain Delage saw it.
The captain again gives warning against
this practice and says If it does not
cease arrests will be made and the speed
kings will be made examples of.
