FIGHTING FIREMEN ON CARPET
___
Driver and Hosemen Clash,
With Captain as Referee

    Driver S. O. Day and Hoseman C. Tillotson of engine company 15 pulled off a little scrap the other day, at which their captain, after twice separating the men, decided to let them fight it out, and officiated as referee.  The men were on the carpet before the fire commission this morning and will know their fate next week, the matter being taken under advisement.
