several Pinto ponies peculiarly known
as calico ponies, which are used by the
Indians.
Play Anto Polo
In the performance to-day the
people of Harrisburg are also prom
ised something entirely new in the
wild West line. In addition to all of
the usual wild west stunts there are a
large number of new features that
have never been seen here before.
Among these new stunts is the game
of auto polo which is a real thriller.
In auto polo two racing machines
are utilized. Each machine carries
a mallet man and chauffer. All day
yesterday carloads of people visited
the show grounds to see the points of
interest that abound about a show of a
Sunday afternoon when everybody
takes a rest.
The afternoon performance began
promptly at 2.15. The evening show
begins at 8.15.
Uain does not interfere with any
performance and crowds attending
will be accommodated under rain

Citizen Fire Company N0.3
Has Interesting History
Was Organized When Harrisburg Was
in Need of Fire Protection; Members
Do Valuable Service For City
In the fall of 1836, when Harrisburgr
had only two lire companies, the
Friendship and Hope, a party of young
men.concluded there was need for a
third company, and started a move
ment which culminated in the organ
ization of the Citizen Fire Company,
now the Citizen Steam Fire - Engine
Company, No. 3, of the Harrlshurg tire
department.
On October 11. 1836, about twenty
five men met at the Seven Star Hotel,
at the corner of Second and Chestnut
streets, and made the first organization
with George Keller as president and
John Heist secretary of the first meet
ing. A short time afterward perma
nent officers were elected and a con
stitution and by-laws adopted. Henry
Bostick served as president until the
end of 1836 and the first regularly
elected officers were: President,
Colonel Henry Baeder; treasurer,
George Ogelsby; secretary, Joseph
Hinckley.
The name "Citizen" was proposed
for the new company by George C.
Fager, who continued as a member
and officer of the company for more
than sixty years until his death. He
also served as chief of the fire depart
ment of the city for several years.
The company at first purchased a
very small hand engine and in 1840
bought a double-decked hand engine,
built by Joel Bates, of Philadelphia, at
a cost of SI,OOO. it was the first
suction engine used in Harrisburg and
the Citizen Company was the first to
buy and use fire hose. The company
purchased a hose carriage from the
Schuylkill Hose Company, of Philadel
phia, for if3oo. Both engine and car
riage were brought to Harrisburg by
canal boat.
Purchased Button Knginc
The Bates engine was used until
1858, when the company bought l'roni
Button & Blake, engine builders, of
Waterford, X. Y., the most powerful
hand engine ever used in this part of
the country at a cost of $1,980.
It had pumps inches in dia
meter, much larger than those in use
In the steamers of the present day.
It was worked to its full capacity by
about forty men, although a dozen or
fifteen could handle it for an ordinary
fire. It threw five streams at one time
over the old Jones House (now the
Commonwealth Hotel) and the same
number over the present Trust build
ing (then Brant's Hall). It forced
water from the corner of Third and
State streets up to the roof of the
front portico of the old State Capitol
building and from there threw a
stream over the dome. During the
War of the Rebellion (in July, 1863)
this engine was used to force water
from the Cumberland county shore of
the Susquehanna river to the forti
fications erected on the top of Fort
Washington, opposite the center of the
city. The machine was of the "hay
ladder" pattern—all the men standing
on the ground in parallel lines along
the two sides while working it.
This old engine was used eight years
until steam tire engines began to take
the place of hand-power machines
(the Friendship Company purchasing
a steamer in 18fil) and the members
again wanted something new and lip
to-date.
In 1864 there was .talk of an inten
tion by Councils to buy two new steam
(ire engines in the next Spring. The
Citizen Company immediately asked
Councils for one of them, but, money
being: limited. It was decided to buy
only one that year ( 1865) and Coun
cils agreed to give that to the Hope
Company, it being the older organ
ization. That decision did not suit the
Citizen members and they concluded
to buy one for themselves, and the
company entered into a contract with
h. Button for a $4,000 steamer and the
contract and specifications were drawn
up. "While the matter was pending
Councils decided to pay for the engine
and that relieved the company from
that much indebtedness.
The engine was put into service on
June 21. 1866* That was the first
piece of fire apparatus ever purchased
for the Citizen Company by the city.
The Button steamer was used until
1897—the last big fire at which it was
at work being the burning of the State
Capitol, where it was the first to arrive
and go into service and the last to
leave. Shortly after that fire .the en
gine met with an accident at the cor
ner of Fourth and Chestnut streets
while answering an alarm from the
Hill district. A water pipe on the side
of the boiler was broken off, the water
ran out and the flues were totally de
stroyed by the time the engine
reached the fire. The engine was
never repaired.
June 15, 1908, the Citizen Company
received the handsome and powerful
new Metropolitan steam engine it is
now using. It was built by the Ameri
can-L,aFranee Kngine Company, of Ei
mira, N. Y., and cost $5,250.
September 2, 1908, the company re
ceived a new combination chemical
and hose wagon, also built by the
American-LaFrance company.
The First House
The first house occupied by the com
pany was located where the Court
house now stands, the engine house
facing on the alley just above Market
street, the ground being owned by the
county. The company next moved
to the common (now Capitol Park)
opposite Dewberry avenue. Afterward
they removed to the corner of the
common at Third and Walnut streets,
where they remained until the park
was extended, when they moved into a
small two-story building in Fourth
street above Walnut, where the pres
ent building is situated. The company
erected all the huildings at its own
expense except those at the present
location, which were paid for by the
city.
On May 12, 1859, while the com
pany was going to a fire at the insane
asylum, Samuel J. Miller, a member,
was run over by the Button hand
engine and so badly injured that he
died shortly after. The accident hap
pened while going down the steep hill
after crossing the canal bridge near
the Pennsylvania railroad roundhouse.
At a fire at King's hardware store, cor
ner of Third and Market streets. Feb
ruary 17, 1868, an explosion occurred,
by which many firemen were injured,
among them being Joseph Montgom
ery. Samuel J. Lyons and Joseph
Shoetz, all members of the Citizen
Company, Mr. Montgomery being Its
president. All three were very seri
ously Injured by the explosion.
In Its career the old Citizen had
some interesting and exciting experi
ences. Its members were at Williams
town in January, 1879, at a fire In the
Summit Branch colliery, the fire break
ing out In the tunnel over 2,000 feet
from the mouth, and It required that
length of line of hose to reach It. The
company was In service on that occa
sion for three days. At the time of
tho great flood of 1889. when the Hart
man tannery. State street and Paxton
creek, was on fire, the members stood
for hours in a rushing flood of water
several feet deep and part of the tan
nery was saved. It was one of two
companies which extinguished the fire
in the spire of the Market Square Pres
byterian Church, 209 feet above the

pavement. The company was sent to
neighboring; places to assist in extin
guishing fires on various occasions,
among them being Mifflin, Newport,
Dauphin, Roekville, Marysville, Me
chanicsburg, Goldsboro, Columbia and
Mlllcrstown. The company has been
in service at every big fire in Harris
burg; in the past seventy-live years.
Served at Gettysburg
One of the most important and at
the same time pleasant assignments
for service falling to the lot of the
Citizen Company was that of a week's
tour of duty for the State of Penn
sylvania at the request of State Fire
Marshal Baldwin at the great reunion
and encampment of veterans of the
Union and Confederate armies during
the celebration of the fiftieth anniver
sary of the Battle of Gettysburg from
June 28 to July H, 191 S. The company
was located in the house of the Get
tysburg Fire Company, in the center
of the borough, and remained on duty
day and night during the celebration.
The selection of the company for this
work was made by Fire Chief John C.
Kindler and the company was under
the direct charge of Assistant Chief
Charles F. Spicer. Assistant Deputy
State Fire Marshal J. William Morgan
accompanied the detail and looked
after their work while at Gettysburg.
After the company returned home
State Fire Marshal Baldwin sent the
following complimentary letter to the
officers and members of the Citizen
Company through Fire Chief Kindler:
July 7, 1 !> 13.
"John C. Kindler, 'Chief Fire Depart-
ment, Harrisburg, I*a.:
"Dear Sir—l desire to extend to you
my sincere appreciation for the serv
ices of the members and the apparatus

to compliment you and the members
on the fine appearance of the appa

"The members wore constantly on

for aid, and were exceedingly cour
teous to all visitors to headquarters;
and there were many from all parts
of the country who expressed their
just appreciation for the treatment ac
corded them and for the provisions

"Again thanking you, T am,

PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD
Some people have a tendency to be
come thin-blooded just as others have
an Inherited tendency to rheumatism,
or to nervous disorders. The condition
in which the blood becomes so thin
that the whole body suffers comes on
so gradually and stealthily that any
one with a natural disposition in that
direction should watch the symptoms
carefully. Bloodlessriess, or anaemia,
aa the medical term is, can be cor
rected much more easily in the earl
ier stages than later. It begins with
a tired feeling that rest does not over
come, the Complexion becomes pale
and breathlessness on slight exertion,
such as going up stairs, is noticed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home
remedy that has been most successful
in the treatment of diseases caused by
thin blood. With pure air and whole
some food these blood-making pills af
ford the correct treatment when the
symptoms described are noticed. A
former sufferer from anaemia says:
"I was emaciated and did not have a
particle of color. I had severe head
aches, had no ambition and could Just
drag around." Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills quickly restore appetite, flesh and
health. A full statement of this case
with directions regarding diet will be
found In the booklet, "Building Up
the Blood," sent free by the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
