inches thick and the quality Is fine. On
Tuesday the company lost another val
uable horse. The animal broke through
the Ice. While he was rescued alive,
the shock was too much for him and he
died of exposure. He was valued at

by falling Ice.
The South Sioux Cltv car on the
traction company's line now runs down
Third street to Pierce and north a
block on that street to Davidson's cor
ner, landing passengers on the east
side of that store Instead of on the
north, as before. This change wns made
to avoid making extensive repairs In
the bridges across Perry creek and to
wvoid paying the city large sums for
the use of other bridges that had to be
used. The new route Is Just as handy
for pasrengers destined to tho uptown
districts to shop, but for passengers
who like to linger along' west Fourth
street until the Inst minute It will not
be so convenient. The car makes JiiBt
aa good. If not better time, over the
new route, so complaints are few.
About the middle of the afternoon
on New Year's day, smoke was seen
issuing from the Frank Ammerman
home, two blocks west of the com

finding that none of the family were
at home, they broke in the door Hnd
succeeded In taking out most of the
furniture and family belongings. Mrs.
Ammerman was In the city visiting
and Mr. Ammerman was at his work
in the Armour packing plant. No clue
has been found as to the origin of the

stroyed, but the neighbors succeeded
