ROOF COLLAPSES;
FIREMEN HURT
Continued From Pag. Ono.
W, II. Clowe, nt No.' 7, nnd Firemen
John Romlt, Smith nnd Pope Leak.
Chlof Haney ordered stream! to be
Ployed on each of the adjoining resi
dences and was Just giving orders to
nlioot streams under the burning roof
when there wns a crash.
The roof of tho porch fell, carrying
It. load of human freight and crushing
the flremen underneath. Of thoee on
the root u» the time. Chief Haney was
the only one who did not fall.
At h. felt the roof giving way he
made a leap nnd caught the edge of the
burning roof. Unmindful of Ills own
danger, Chief Haney called out orders
to the flremen below to extricate tho
Imprisoned men.
Haw Haney Escaped.
And In the meantime tho burning
roof was scorching hla hand and mak
ing It almost Impossible for him to
keep fmm falling. He had clutched a
part of the roof with hie left hand, but
could find r.i hold for hla right.
"I do- -ipoee I hung there In mid
air," r r Haney, "for moro than
fire m ml It seemed an age to
me. Km lute that roof got hotter.
If I dropped 1 might get some broken
bones and If I held on my hand would
be burned. Out the boys got me down
as soon as they had started work dig
ging out thoee who had been btirled."
At the time of the crash Firemen
Walts, F. F. Anderson and Jonah Ilob-
soik were under th. roof and lighting
the Are from that point. When the
roof and Its load fell Hobson escaped
with some bruises, being pushed Into
th. burning dwelling through the front
door. But with Waite and Anderson It
was different. Waite caught the prin
cipal part of the roof and he wne pinned
down In such a mnnner that the weight
of the roof and the men on top were
pressing on his bnrk,
Andersen, although pinned down. Was
not ns badly hurl, but his leg was
crushed at the knee and out and he was
bruised all over his body. Uestdea, he
waa cut and gashed on the face and
chest.
Work of Ra.ousr..
Willing hands with pick axe. began
frantically tearing at the debrte to
rescue the Imprleoned men. while
others directed Ihclr attention to the
burning house. If the Are got beyond
control and the Imprisoned men were
not removed the Aremen saw that their
comrades might be cremated. Working
with tlie firemen, and Just ns encrgetl-
cally, were Call Oflicera Unllnher and
Long, Sergeant Poole and Bicycle Of-
fleere Smith and Dunton, who had has-
tened to the Are with the department.
A call for an ambulance had been
■ent In and when Walts was dug out of
the debris he was found to be so badly
Injured that hie removal to the hospital
was necessary. Anderson nnd Smith
were sent to their homes In carriages
and given medical attention.
Roof Waa Flimsy.
An examination afterward showed
that the roof was rotten and of a
flimsy nature and at the time of the
collapse the Are had not reached II.
Assistant Chief Haney learned from the
people- occupying the house that not
long ago tho porch fell down of Its own
weight.
The fire had a humorous feature ■■
well os a tragic on*. Chief Cummings

IN GRA VE DANGER FRIDA Y
Warmest game of baseball ever
pulled off In this section will occur In
the presence ot an honored few only
Friday afternoon on Mayor Joyner’H
farm, two miles south of Marietta.
In order to circumvent the police
and prevent any attempt to save the
umpires It the decisions are not ac
cording to Hoyle, It woe deemed ad
visable to go far from the maddening
crowd.
It Is really the outing of the famous
"Ten Club." The ten are Governor
Joseph M. Terrell, Associate Justice
Beverly D. Evans, Dr. John E. White,
Dr. W. W. Landrum, Dr. John D. Jor
dan, Professor M. L. Brittain, Hugh M.
Willett, F. J. Paxon, W. G. Cooper, and

he Associate Justice M. W. Beck, J.
T. Holloman, 13, Davison, E. F. John

W. W. Orr, H. A. Maler, Dr. M. L.
Troutman and Rev. J. E. Purser.
After eating a fine barbecue prepared
by Assistant Chef of ths Fire Depart
ment Courtney, the "boys" will 'choose
up' for a real game of baseball. It's a
shame to exclude the public from the
spectacle ot Governor Terrell and Sam
D. Jones chasing high, files.
By some means unknown Associate
Justices Beck and Evans have been
envelghled Into doing the umpiring. It
le understood that they did take the
precaution to heavily Increase their life
insurance, and leave sealed messages
to be delivered In the event anything
happens.
Governor Terrell broke up the game
In a riot last year by going aa far as
second base and refusing to go any
further, because hs was bellowsed.
