was clearly proven for the city. Mr..

the roads were so muddy that his
teams had stalled at this place and
he was compelled to dump the gar.
bage there and then have it hauled
by another wagon to the garbage
dump.
The Recorder said he would give
Mr.. Burns the benefit Of his plea.

THE DEMAND TOO GREAT.
Butchers and Saloon Men Receiving
Ice From Waco,

Butchers and Saloon Men Receiving
Ice From Waco.
Since the butchers and saloon
men have been running an ice
plant OF their own, their supply OF
ice has run short on several occa-
sions. In one or two instances they
have been helped out by breweries,
but at this time of the year the
breweries need all the ice them
selves that they can make.
There are three other ice
factories In the city, the Crys-
tai, the Southern and one
at the Union Stock yards,
and they get rid Of their
ice as fast as they can make it by
supplying the saloon men who do
not belong to the B. d. s. M. Ice
company, as we'll as private fami-
lies.
In consequence Of this shortage
of ice the association of butchers
and saloon men has arranged for
Ice with a Waco factory. The first
supply-a car load-arrived over
the International railroad last
night and was transported to the
B. & s. MS plant, on Oakland
street. The capacity Of this plant
is said to be ten ton day, which,
1t is claimed, will not. supply the
demand.

Bella Union Employees Indignant
Over Their Back Salaries.

Bella Union Employees Indignant
|. Over Their Back Salaries.
There was a sudden change Of
program at the Bella Union
variety theater last night. A.
number Of the "starsn billed did
not appear, and the beer hustling
contingent was also conspicuous
by its absence. The cause of the
non-appearance of the "stars" an d
the failure OF the "girls" to get on
their hustling clothes is attribut.
ed to the fact that their
salaries" are due, but that
time has been prolonged so that
patience has ceased to be a virtue.
This theater was reopened about
four weeks ago-in fact it has been
reopened about every four weeks
since the place was originally
opened, about five years ago. 1t was
reopened this time by j. w. King
Ter, billed as the liking of Rust
lers." New "stars" were secured
"direct from the east" Houston
and Galveston, and an elaborate
program was dished up. The house
was we'll patronized, and seemed to
be the only place Of amusement on
the west side. Everything went
we'll in the beginning, but Of late
complaint was heard from the en-
ployes Of the place about the man
agement's failure in paying salar-
les. The latter complained OF dull
business.
Last night, Billy Freeman, who
runs the restaurant adjoining the
theater, took charge of the place.
He claims the house owes him
considerable, and that he cannot,
afford to lose anything these hard
times,
