Abilene Fire Department Parade.
On Thursday afternoon Pine
and Chestnut streets were lined
with spectators out to see the
first parade of the Abilene Fire
Department held in many long
months thus attesting the popu
iarity of that brave bind of fire
fighters. The procession formed
at Central Fire Station on Cedar
street in the following order:
1. Chief and Assistant Chiefs.
2. Firemans Band.
3. Protection Hose Co. No 1.
4. Hook and Ladder Co No 1.
5. Sponsor Miss Mabel Mont-
gomery and Maids Misses Nor-
ris and Sayles in u beautiful

6. President and Vice Presi
dent.
7. Protection Hose Co. Wagon.
8. Hook and Ladder Truck
An alarm was turned in and
the boys made a. run of 900 feet
laid 300 feet of hose set 40 feet
of ladders and got water on top
of a two-story building In one
minute and forty-four seconds a
record we believe not hereto-
fore exceeded by any fire com-
pany and perhaps not equalled
by any other volunteer company.
Rounds of applause greeted this
feat and strangers from other
cities praised it In glowing
terms.
But it is not upon parade alone
Tn which our boys make records.
In actual times of danger they I
have never been found wanting
