(GRASS FIRE ON BIG PINE KEY BLAZE EXTINGUISHED BY ENGINE FROM KEY WEST STATION | Engine Number 2 from Fire Station Number,1 extinguished a large grass fire on Big Pine Key last night, which was threatening the school house and homes there. ‘The engine left 6 o'clock and on arrival soon had the fire under control, using a Booster Pump, which is a small extra tank on the engine. Arrival back in the city after the run was at 10:20 p. m. Grass on Big Pine is particular- ly dry, Chief Harry Baker said, and carelessness will quickly set off conflagations. There have been other smaller fires, but this is the first that has gotten out of control of the Key residents in quite some time, the Chief added.

The Warbier sailed at 5:45 in the afternoon. The exact position of the Wal- den was given as Latitude 27.75, and Longitude 79.50, which would place the vessel about 30. miles northeast of Jupiter. The steamer was not ashore, it is said, but was drifting helpless- ly because of injuries to her ma- chinery. Joseph Warren Knocked Overboard From Ferry Joseph Warren, engineer of Fer- ty Monroe County, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Warren, who was knock- ed overboard from the ferry yes- terday afternoon while cars were being unloaded at Hog Key, is not as seriously injured as was at first supposed, said Mr. Warren today. The report received by Mr. Warren, as told by his son. is that Jaseph was standing on the deck of the ferry when a car which was going down the gangway skidded and knocked him from the deck into the water. He was hauled on board by members of the crew who saw the accident end say that when Joseph fell he stuck squarely on submerged piling, and it was thought that he wid bedly wrenched his back, and possibly received other injuries. An Ambulance was phoned for and the Lopez vehicle went to No Name Key to await the ar- rival of Joseph, who was on the ferry in charge of a phy sician, summoned from the 5. Groves’ camp. y- J ia f ' Li
