Almost suffocated and choking with

made him a corpse, W. If. Bsrrachlo,
a roomer In the Metropolitan building
at Alabama street and Central avenue,
was pulled front his roonr at an early
hour Tuesday morning by Fireman
John Peel, of engine company No. 8,
and that lie Is alive today Is due alone
to his ability to crawl to a window and
feebly call for help.
When Fireman Peel rushed through
the smoke-tilled hall and smashed In
the door of Barraclilo's room, he found
the man collapsed and ready lo give
up the light for life. So weak was
Barrachlo that he Could hardly stagger
from^the room with Fireman Peel's as.
slstance, and It was some time after he
reached the open air that he fully re
covered.
At 1:20 o'clock Tuesday morning the

One of the features of the nre was
