FIREMEN FROZEN STIFF.
Their Experience Fighting tho Tuesday
Night Fire.

Chief A. p. Hunt, of the fire department, has
made additional preparations in case of fire,
ana is now prepared TO put on enough addi-
t1onal horses TO drag the heavy apparatus
through the snow without necessitating doub-
hng up the teams In the de partment Four new
horses, the property OF the city, have been
stabbed at headquarters, two at engine house
No 3. on Main street, and two at engine house
No. ,, on Pine street. The chief has given up
MS own horse ana placed 1t at chemical house
N Z, On Market street In this manner the
chief has in a measure met the increased difi-
cuities brought about by the snowstorm.
The hremen were discussing the fire on Lake
street and Squire avenue yesterday and the in
cidents connected Herewith. When the mon
got water on the buildings everything went all
right until the bell was rung Tor "fEe OUT"
then the trouble began 1t was so cold that the
water frozo at the drop of the hat ana Just
where it struck. The pipemen found this
the case when they tried TO wind up the hose.
Every yard was frozen stiff, and when they
finally got it piled up on the wagon a stranger
would have thought it was load OF hay, so big
ana bulky did il loom up. To add to the
trouble the supply wagoa horses got frightened
and made break Tor liberty. The snow was so
deep that they could not run far, aud the men
soon caught up with them and caught hold of
the rens. On the way back TO the houses the
wind commenced 20 blow the snow, and
although the aiori.y of the wagons were in
sight of each other the track was com pletely
filed IN, and each wagon had 10 break its way
through the drifts anew The men were nearly
frozen ana were covered from head to foo, with
ice Their hands were numb. and to use them
was almost an impossibility. The great time

houses. Not a one could take off his clothes,
and II they had been put in q line would have
looked Ike animated iccles. Ice had formed
over each button, and the meu found their
fingers could not break it. To solve this problem
the boiler in the telephone room was called into
play, aud one by one the men stood up to the
hot surface and lei the ice melt away.
