Five Have Narrow Escapes In Burn

Chicago, May 11.—Five firemen nar
rowly escaped death in a burning
building at 51 Institute Place, early
today. When the men arrived the
three upper iloors of the structure,
which is tenanted by cabinet and
piano makers, were blazing hotly.
Three pipe men climbed ladders to
the third floor and forced their way
into the center of the building.
Finding the heat too great, they
tried to retreat and then discovered
the door had been caught by falling
wreckage. When ten minutes passed
and the three men did not appear,
other firemen went to the rescue and
carried them from the building. They
were soon revived.
A few minutes later two pipemen
were on (he roof when it gave way.
They saved themselves by clinging to
the wall until ladders could be run
up to them. The loss is $50,000.
