ICEMEN ALARMED
Houses Are Empty and "Jack
 Frost" Far Away as Ever.

Unless some very cold weather puts in an appearance the ice question in Waterbury next summer will be very difficult one to handle. On investiga tion it is shown that as yet this win ter little or no ice has been harvested. Other years at this period the majority of the houses would be comfortably filled and the icemen would be on their last cut. But this year the first supply is yet to be put in the barns and the ice dealers are fearful lest the warm weather will prevent them from getting any ice that will amount to anything. At the office of the Water bury Ice corporation on Brook street it was stated that the situation was really alarming. We cut ice for just two days this winter, so you can judge for yourself how the situation stands" said one of the officials to reporter to-day. AS it is with us so it is with the rest of the dealers in the city. All through the east there has been a scarcity of ice this winter and natural ly the consumer will suffer next sum- mer. You know imported ice costs more than the home production. In the northern part of Massachusetts there. has been fair supply, but that is the only place in this vicinity where the crop has amounted to anything.
 "To be exact, the time which the company has cut ice on the East Brass Mill pond is as follows: One morning at o'clock we found that the ice was about eight inches thick. At o'clock that afternoon we were cutting, and we kept at it for two days. Then came the rain, which reduced the ice about four inches, and since then we have done nothing. But ice will have to be obtained some place next summer and some one will have to pay for it."
 Last summer a 5-cent piece of ice could not be purchased, and a 10-cent block was not large either. The people can use their own imagination in re gard to what a fair sized piece will cost next summer unless Jack Frost gets busy.
 When asked if the artificial plant in Brooklyn might not relieve the situa- tiOn, it was stated that the plant when running on full force can put out about sixty tons daily, but this is only a small amount of what is used in Wa terbury every day in the week during the hot weather.

After he had been tied to a tree at

DEADLY MOUNTAIN FEUD.
Three Men Are Fatally Wounded as
Result of q Fight.

Woodbury., Tenn.-The Johnson-AIot-
ley feud in this (Cannon) county broke
out afresh last night, and as a res alt
the following are fatally wounded:
Sam Blair, shot four times in stomach.
Bob Motley, shot twice in groin.
Richard Johnson, throat cut.
The trouble between the Motleys and
the Johnsons, two large families of the
Pea Ridge neighborhood. near the De-
Kalb county line, originated ten years
ago over the operation of an illicit dis
tillery, when blood was shed and has
broken out internationally since. Last
nights renewal came at a young peo-
ple's "candy pulling" where it is said
some liquor was drunk. Both Motley
and Blair were shot by Johnson, but
who cut the latter's throat is unknown.
The sheriff has gone to the scene
which is in a wild, mountainous district,
and hopes to prevent any further trou-
BILE, although it is said considerable ex-
element prevails.
