HOSEMAN REFUSES
TO OBEY ORDERS;
IS SUSPENDED
_____
Former Wrestler Gridley Says
He Will Not Be an "Easy
Mark," but Captain Avers
He Is Lazy,
_____
C. H. Gridley, former wrestler with a reputation of never having
been laid on his back, now a hoseman in the fire department is under
suspension because he refused to obey orders of Captain Jenkins of
the Maple avenue fire house. Gridley says he refused because the
captain had selected him out of the company to do more work than
other members, and he didn't like the idea of being made a
"mark." The captain says Gridley showed a tendency
toward laziness and he wanted to cure him.
Yesterday Gridley and the captain appeared before the Fire
Commissioners and had a hearing. The commissioners reserved
their decision until next Friday. |

NOBODY WORKED
EXCEPT GRIDLEY
___
Hard work makes no hit with C. H. Gridley, a fireman of the
company at Twenty-fourth st. and Central av. He was reported
to the fire commission by Capt. Jenkins Friday for refusing to do
the work assigned him. Gridley declared that he had more
work to do than others in the same house, and that he frequently
had to scrub or make beds all day while the others were sitting
about in full uniform, having an easy time. The commission
took his cast under advisement. |
