ICE FAMIN f.
The Local Companies Have ONLY Linz
tied supply.

Some anxiety is now felt by the Frost
~ White and Richardson Ice companies
on account OF the small amount OF ice
which is left from last winters crop. The
crop of last winter was as large a. any
previous one, if not larger. bur the I'M
usual heat and the dampness of the last
few months have diminished the supply 10
such an extent that the local companies
find it difficult to supply even their regu-
lar customers.
The farmers who gathered their own
supply Of ice have also been unfortunate
in preserving it, and have had to buy ice
wherever they could find it.
The Frost d White Ice company wrote
to Burlington some time ago in an en-
deayor to replenish their ice houses, but
were unable to procure any in that city.
This is remarkable as millions of tons of
ice are cut from Lake Champlan every
year and the dealers there generally have
plenty of tke article TO sell to outside par
ties

BROWNS SLAYER CoNFESsEs. Augustine Burtenier Admits the
 Killing of the Rancher.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 12.-Augustine Burten- Ter has confessed that he killed Frank Brown. In an interview at the County Jail, this morning. he said:
 T killed that man. He tried to catch me"
 This Is the first time the man has con- scented to talk of the crime. He would say no more and refused to make any ex- planation, dropping into the sullen, silent mood which he continually maintains From the evidence before the Coroner's s jury 1t would appear that the man was out for hunt when he crossed Brown s field, at which time the killing occurred.
