Last Fire Run
Negro Firemen Mourn
Death of Masonic
Mascot Ambition
BY DAN M. KIDNEY

A MBITTON is dead.
n The smoke-eating fire hound,
who for the last two years never
has missed a run with the Negro
fremen from Station /, Michigan
st. and Indiana Ave, was buried
today.
Sunday he was run over and IA
tally injured by the pumper he
had ridden 50 often.
Only the intimate circle of his
fire-fghting companions were adj
mitted to the obsequies. 1t was
stuffy in the fire station and there
was moisture on many a dark
cheek. The day was hot-but the
fire boys also had lost a dear
friend.
They reminisced regarding him.
Fireman John F. Logan told how
the dog first came to the station.
He was a long, lean, hungry
pup then" Logan recalled. That
was two years ago.
I'VE called him Ambition be-
cause he didn't have any. Why,
as hungry as that dog looked he
wouldn't eat a plate of meat I'M
less he could reach it lying down"
hit one mustn't speak disre-
I'D spectfully of the dead. Dark
looks from his fellow firemen
caused Logan's memory to take a
different trend.
you see at first he was police
dag-that is, he used to travel
With the patrolman on this beat, ="
he recalled. Every one around
Indiana Ave. knew him.
when winter came that first
year it got too cold for the dog
travelling with the patrolman. He
started loafng around here and
soon we adopted him as member
of the company.
He sure never lacked ambi-
ton when that alarm sounded he
would often be the first one on
the pumper, If the local phone
rang he wouldn't move, but let the
alarm phone sound and away he
would leap, barking loudly"
CUNDAY the dog had gone with
- Driver Harold Morgan on the
pumper to get the tires filled with
air. AS Morgan was about to turn
the machine around, two other
dogs chased Ambition. He ran
beneath the wheels and his back
was broken.
Driver Morgan today was the
chief mourner. why, that dog
went through all the degrees in
the Negro Masonic Lodge with
me-" Morgan said. you can put
in his obituary that he was a
member of my lodge, the Shrine
and Scottish Rite"

GIRL DRINKS POISON
Suicide Attempt Follows
Quarrel With Boy.

Miss Geraldine Opal Stewart, 20,
of 1850 E. Michigan ST, is in the
city hospital today suffering from
the effects of a slow acting poison
whish she swallowed about 1890
a. m, following a quarrel with
Harry Hobbs, 2028 Southeastern
Ave.
Her condition is reported fair.
The poison is such, doctors say, that
it will be several days before they
can determine if they can save her
life.
Hobbs told police that they we're
sitting in his car parked in front
of the girls house, and when he told
her he was not coming back to see
her again, she swallowed the tab
lets. He then ran into the house
for milk and forced her to drink
it before police arrived.
Miss Stewart was employed at the
Fairbanks-Morris Company. She
has no relatives in the city. Her
father, Harvey Stewart, lives at
