Chief Curry then took the chair and thanked his fellow firemen for thé cohfidence they repesed in him. He said he ad worked for several years in Gre departments and .the boys of the Rossland brigade could always make a good showing. In accepting the position “he said he did so unwillingly but: with the assistance of the rest of the depart- ment he thought they could contend with the fiery element. Bevoral bers of the dep bat he has exhibited a disposition to destroy himself by total abstinance 4rom food and raiment, Ifcertain members of the ladies’ ‘aid society had not rescued him from his cabin and provided for his treat- ment at the hospital he would probably “have been found a corpse today. When discovered in his cabin’ he was a wretched sight. He was half naked and half ‘starved. "¥et there was a good stove in his cabin and plenty of provender. He had not closed his eyes in sleep for nearly @ month and his principal: em- then made complimentary speeches, and all were pleased that the right man was in the the right place.
