stances:
In the Spring of 1877 JOS. Rice came
to Il, and wished us to build an ice
house on W. Front street at the foot Of
Jefferson st and allow him to sell on
commission which he did with the
agreement that Rice should pay 1900
per ton for the ice on delivery and one
half Of the gross receipts additional,
the $500 bring the cost Of the ic-.
About the middle Of the summer we
found that Rice was not making full
returns, and We therefore discharged
him and put Mr. Charles Carpenter in
his place. Rice, ont Of revenge, took
the receipts to Mr.. 4. T. Walton, who
called at cur Office at once and We ex.
planned the matter as above, and sup
posed satisfactorily, as Se never heard
any more about it. We would have
received about $500 Per ton had Rice
