One of the many thrilling rescues made by the firemen was that of Mrs. Metis Barker and her infant from the third floor. There was no tire escape for her to get out upon; the smoke poured in a volume out of the wiudows, and she was almost overcome whin a ladder was placed against the window, ifnd she was carried down in the arms of a firemnn.

A Mrs. Benson was ennied down the fire-escape from the second story; she was ill at the time and had little clothing on. The shock may prove Mrs. Michael Dorsey fell down one flight and sprained her ankle. The loss is only nominal.

The building is occupied by Mrs. Harriet Winter. Hugh Winters, Ethel their ten-year oid daughter and Jennie Cavanaugh, a Hoarder. In order to gain an entrance the officers smashed the front door into splinters.

The entire ground floor was in flames, the front windows had fallen down, nnd the flames were quickly ascending the stairs to the apnrtmes where the Winters lived. Mrs. Winters arose, rhoked with smoke, and, taking her child, ran to the stairway, while the flames scorched nor hair nnd burned her clothing. Her escape was made possible by the heroic act- of. who ran up the burning stairs and crashed in the door, calling to her to come to him.
