RESCUE CHILDREN
 FROM BLOCK FIRE
Bremen Carry Out Three Babies Mothers Forgot in Haste to
 Escape From Flames.

Fire, caused by thawing pipes, did damage of about S1,500 in the three story house of John Zanonsik at 357 High street this morning. The fire men were given a hard battle with the blaze and the cold weather great ly hampered them in their progress. A telephone call to Engine company No. brought out the fire fighters from that house, and Chief Dame also responded. The chief sent in for additional aid from the central station and No. 2 and the Hook and Ladder company were rushed to the scene.
 The fire secured headway in the partition in the rear of the house and quickly burned it's way to the roof. The water poured into the building, froze almost as rapidly as it hit the fire and this also hampered the work of the firemen. Captain Michael Butler of Engine company No. re- ceived a bad cut on his hand from broken glass.
 The firemcn contributed to their past acts of heroism by rescuing three children who had been left behind in tenements by their frantic mothers in the excitement
