Most Cheerful Place in City
Was Round the Big
Black Stove.
In MUNICIPAL COURT
Rest of Citizens Talked OF
Freezing but Here Is
Good Cheer.

This is the way the news looked this
morning:
At the police Office Captain Clausen
showed the desk sergeant's report from
/ IL D. m. Friday night to a. m. TINS
morning. 1t was a total blank on both
sides. both as to arrests made ana
complaints made.
Apparently no one had complaint
to make, except against one enemy,
the weather. Instead of the usual IN
curry, 'What time is If. please" the
only calls the sergeant had to answer
were those asking how much the Their
mometer was down now.
Only One Scare Fire.
Fire Chief Schwartz reported that he
was glad to say that there had been
only one call during the extreme cold
| of the night and morning, ;cld that
nroved to be more scare than fire.
At the home of George Earl, 966
First avenue, a fire started around the
furnace The fire department was sum-
moned about 8 a. m. but in the mean
time the householder himself threw
water on the blaze and the fire was
practically out with the arrival OF the
department.
"Good thing, too," said the chief,
"this is not the kind of weather that
we like to see a family turned out
! into.
Fire at the North Shore freight
house early Friday resulted in damage
of over $4,000, due to the destruction
of freight goods stored at the ware
house depot. The fire was caused by
| hot air furnace pipe, and blazed
away for over an hour before the fire
men had it in control.
Hot Water Pipes Freeze.
In the sheriff's home today, the Of
! fee was like an ante-room to the home
of the North Wind or the majestic
prince who lives east of the Sun and
West of the Moon" Burlap was used
against the threshold of the door to
keep out the hayward blast that want
ed in" but it was of little avail.
Sheriff Pabst reported that the hot
water pipes in the kitchen had frozen,
| though when all went to bed on Friday
night, the fire was apparently going
strong.
Cheer in Municipal Court.
Attorney George Taylor telephoned
from his residence on Lake avenue
that the water had frozen in his base
ment. breaking the meter, and that the
basement was rapidly being flooded
with ice cold water. An assistant at
the water department was dispatched
to repair the meter.
/ All over the city, emergency calls
were made for plumbers and blow
torches. The water pipes froze in the
homes of Captain Clausen and Detec-
tive McCluskey of the police depart
ment as we'll as in the homes of count
| less others.
In the municipal court this morning
there was good cheer. King Frost had
engraved many fine masterpieces on
the window panes, and there was a
chance for fun there for boy with a
penny. The big stove was putting away
in great shape.
The clerk and deputy clerk were
happy as larks. They are so accus-
toned to the cold that the matter of
drop still further bothered them lit
| tie.
No one heard robin twitter, nor a
| sparrow nor even a chickadee. LizZy
with hood muffled up in lieu Of ear
! laps braved the north wind, but for
the most part horses were seen on
the street more often than cars.
And safe and warm in the stable of
Humane Officer Karnes was Dobbin,
the good horse rescued before the
dreadful last drop of mercury.
