When the extent and danger of the blaze became apparent the warden marshajed his regular fire fighting force of emrloyes and soon all were at work. The flames spread so fast, how- ‘nadennate. Then it was decided to’ trust to the male prisoners’ sense of manhood and they bore the test well Released from their cells and mar- shaled into small bodies they entered the burning building and went at the; work of fire fighting and rescue with | utter disregard of the danger to them- selves. The flames were crackling all about them and they plunged through the densest smoke when they brought out in their arms the last of the wo- men prlsoners ELEVATED TRAINS COLLIDE.
