THE ICE HARVEST
IN PLATTSMOUTH
Many of Our Ice Men Are In a
Quandry as to How to Secure a
Good, Clean Quality.
(Jood, clean, pure ice is a neces

artificial plant the supply must

water last fall, or some other
sause, has intervened lo make tin;
ice to be had from the west bank
f the river and anywhere con
venient to the cily, very poor, and
too full of sand and dirt to be lit
for use for any purpose.
Yesierday afternoon Carl Kuns

Egcnberger and (ieorge Poisall
made a search for ice on the river
and located a line Held of about
twenly acres of clear ice in a
c
jtockel on the Iowa side. If
rangemenls can be made lo
tlie ferry loose ami gel, the ice
ver lo this side of the river a nice
lot of it can be put up.
Tin1 city is up against the
proposition oi imiiiy needing an i
arlilirial ice plant. II, is said $12,
00 would llnance the enterprise,
and the plant would employ at
least half a dozen men all the year
round, and the community would
secure good, wholesome ice for
use at all seasons of the year.

the company's local agent, Mr.

insured in tin; company for $700,
and I he loss was estimated at
Hi 1. 70, the amount the carpenter
said he would do the work for. Mr.
Given received a check for I his
amount and was satisfied with
the settlement. The company and
