The HOOSIER HOT SHOTS

"A 4-11 Alarm at the County Seat"
The Rosedale Fire Department arrived just a little late as the boys had to get dressed up in their Sunday's Best before they could journey to the county seat, fire or no fire. Left to right is: Gabe, Hezzie, Ken, Frank and the old jumping jenny wren himself,
Uncle Ezra seems a little peeved
because he is all ready for the fire ("dad burn it," "ding bust it," you young whipper-snappers, go comb your hair) and what, no fire?
The Hoosier Hot Shots all seem in a rather jovial spirit as if to say, "Well, it was a good excuse to come to town anyway."
(Editor's note) where did the horses go? |
