The fire was a fiercely beautiful;
sight. and was observed for miles
around, Men could see to read news;
papers 0. mile away, by the light of it.;
and so hot was it that men standing,
two hundred yards to the windward!

cloud of sparks rose high in the air;
above the doomed building, and. strlk-i

knew of to go to and all that was sav-

which they owned. They had no in-
camps on their furniture or goods.
and practically all that they had In the

last night, when he captured Floyd K.
Madison. a colored man wanted both
here and in Stamford. for forgery.
The arrest was a very dramatic one
In every respect. The officer lay in
waiting for his man for some time and
was then given a run of about a mile
for the accused. The officer took Mud-
ison to the police station and later he
was turned over to Chief of Police
lircnnau and Officer Daniel Hickey. of
Stamford. The latter officers had a
warrant for the offender's arrest.
The. first the Norwulk ipolice were
aware that Madison was "wanted was
yesterday afternobn about 3 o'clock.
when omcer Ilickoy came up from
Stamford looking for Mar son. Chief
of Police Thomas Bradley lid tho Nor-
walk police to give the Statutord officer
any assistance possible, but the search
at that time was unavalling.
Last evening, however, Officer Silk
went to a point near Madison's homo
in Kellogg street, and lay to wait for
him in the bushes. When Madison ap-
proached the house he was evidently
silspiclous, for he discovered the police-
man in time to start on a run for free-
dom. Officer Silk shouted to him to
stop. but he refused and run like a
deer. And he was able to. for he is a
man more than six feet in height and
of slight build, Officer Sil was'a well-
known sprinter a few yes a ago.

parently to make him I'll faster.
The policeman was no of the opin-
10!] that he would get a good run for
his money. and started into the strides
of former days. He was soon gaining
on his prey, and landed him at. the
foot of Spring Hill. ‘
"l'Il gIVe up. you‘re a better man
than I am," exclaimed Madison, and
.hcn went peacefully along, but with
his hands fastened with handcuffs,
which the officer had not failed to
prickly clasp on him.
The capture was all the more remark-
able because of an injury winch uttlcer
Silk sustained. While on the chase
he cleared a picket fence. and landed
heavily onto a pile of stones, badly
spraining his leg. Not mtnding‘this he
continued after his victim,
Later the pain wasso severe that
Silk had to go to his home In School

F. I. Burnell. who found a bad sprain.
The pain was so severe this morning
that he was unable to stand.
