"MAY BE DYING"
"Ed G., a fine engine horse of Volunteer Fire Company No. 1, has been dangerously ill for two or three days, and lies under a tent-like structure in the yard back of the Firemen's Hall, where fireman are doing all in their power to save the poor animal. Tho(sic) suffering from kidney trouble, yet the horse is said to have a complication of diseases. The firemen are taking the sickness of the horse very hard, realizing that the animal is between life and death. Ed G. is probably the best-trained horse of the fire company mentioned. Here to for, he has always been full of life, answering alarms of fire as though with the sense of a human being. Extremely pathetic is the scene about the unfortunate horse. The noble animal is probably breathing his last. Tenderly the fireman are watching for signs of improvement, and are careful lest the sun should fall upon his body. It may be that Ed G. has made his last run to a fire. Volunteer Company has had bad luck with horses within the last four years, four of them having died within that time."

"Loses Four Horses in Three Years"
"After lingering in excruciating agonies, with seemingly a spirit that was too courageous to give up to die, Ed G., the fire engine horse of Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 that fell sick less than a week ago, passed away to the region beyond mortal existence, surrounded by faithful firemen, who dreading the ineffable end that seemed to be fastly approaching, felt a compassion and did all they could do to prevent death. But the time of the end of Ed. G. had come. He died about 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. This makes the fourth horse that Volunteer co. has lost within the last three years. The unfortunate fire company is consequently bearing a heavy burden in the matter of loses in horses and attendant expenses. E. Glennan, foreman of the fire company, said this morning that from June 25, 1907, to March, 30, 1910, the sum of $1601.05 has been spent by the company for horses, doctors and medicine. Dr. Winters of Gulfport and Dr. Clark of the Ford Veterinary stable attended to Ed G. and they both agreed that the horse had contacted cerebral meningitis . Some days back the animal had made a race in answer to a alarm of fire near Back Bay and Main streets. It rained hard at the time, and it is thought that poor old Ed G. had caught or something that caused his death."
