The MoMENToUs QUESTION. Ice or
no ice is the question now. Our very
mild article yesterday has tended to
awaken the attention OF people to the ne
cessity of providing some means of pro-
tecting themselves against extortion. for
sixteen cents pound for ice is an extor-
tionate price, and ought not to be paid;
nor should ice be procured from a'man
who will demand such an extravagant |
price. We are not complaining so much |
of the high price as we are Of the fact
that a higher price is charged to one set
of customers than is paid by others.
Connerton admits that he discriminates
against certain houses in town which sent
to Bullionville for their ice. While in
our Office yesterday morning he claimed
that he had right to charge any price
he pleased for his property, and we in
formed him in reply that while he had
such right, those who didn't like it had
right to complain, and complain they
will; but the matter will not stop at sin
gle complaint. Action should be taken,
and We believe will be taken, by the
IiohiiCub otloOhS anu Itotuuluu0b III
town to protect themselves against this
extortion. By united effort on their
part the evil complained of can be cor
rected, and Mr.. John Connerton can be
taught n lesson which may benefit him in
after years. Let those who use ice hold
Il meeting and resolve to discontinue the
use of that article entirely until they can
obtain supply from some other quarter.
In few days time they can make other
arrangements by which ice can be OBJ
tanned. The plan of operation need not
be given to the public at present; but
when meeting is called then will be the
time to move in the matter. No such ex-
tortion IN matter Of such necessity as
ice should be submitted to. The means
of circumventing the extortioner are in
the hands of the saloons and restaurants,
and they need but to act unitedly to Sc
cure their rights and get ice at reasonable
rates.
SUDDEN DEATH.-About 1880 yester-
day morning man named James Hood
was found dead in his bed at Mrs.
Grambs lodging house, on Main street,
opposite Lacour. Deceased had been
unwell for some time, but no dangerous
symptoms had been developed. He was
walking around the evening before his
death, and retired to rest as usual OF
Wednesday evening" and in his apparent
ordinary health. 1t was only yesterday
morning that the lifeless form Of the un-
fortunate man was found by an attache
of the house who was cleaning up the
rooms. Dr. Philson was first called to
see if there was any chance of recovering
him. Finding that he was actually dead
the Coroner CDR. DeaD was notified Of
the occurrence. Supposed friends of de
ceased were informed by telegraph to
Bullionville of his death, but none cam,
to attend to the matter, and so the Cor
oner, being satisfied that death resulted
from some natural cause, and there be
foully dealt with, declined to hold an in
quest. Late in the afternoon (about
o'clock) the body was taken charge of b,
an undertaken and consigned to its tina
rest. There seems no doubt that hear
disease caused his DEATH We know bu
little of his anteceden: history. Welearn
however, that he has been in this count,
about two years, and came from Bois
City, Idaho. Deceased was apparentl,
five feet ten in height, 50 or 40 years O
age, and looked like healthy man. H
