Show I In the Jaw or in the Pants, It Still Hurt Holladay Lions returning from their annual birthday party last Saturday night thought they were doing the human thing when they rushed in and saved a family, the family's removable household goods and a couple of automobiles automo-biles from a raging fire at 39th So. and 11th E., but one of their number wonders if it was worth it Harold Drage, the Lion in the case, and some of his companions compan-ions who were witnesses to the scene, claim his sole reward I was three smart clips on the jaw, two of which laid him flat, from the brawny fist of County Fire Chief Jack Clay who arrived on the scene after the rescue work had been accomplished, and who apparently was in a huff because be-cause someone's car was in the way. It appears! that Chief Clay told Ken Sutherland to get the car in question out of the way, and that when Ken told him it wasn't his car, Harold stepped up to verify Ken's statement, and the chief forthwith let loose. Chief Clay, according to newspaper news-paper reports, said he was "bombed out" by a group of 'sidewalk fire chiefs" who berated be-rated him on his tardy arrival on the scene, and that he just "took one of the fellows by the shoulders, turned him around, kicking him in the pants, and told him to make tracks." The stories don't quite jibe, but-it but-it will probably all come out when the matter comes officially official-ly before the county commission commis-sion and before the courts, since Harold is contemplating legal action. Meanwhile, the Holladay boys, who have been trying to get a fire station established in Holladay Hol-laday and many of whom have agreed to act as volunteer firemen, fire-men, mantain they want no part of the establishment if Clay is going to be the boss. |
