THIRD CE HOUSE FIRE
sATTERLEE BROTHERS. STORAGE
is DESTROYED.
WAS OF INCENDlARY ORIGIN

Satterlee Brothers, Who Started Into
the Ice Business In Norfolk This
Year, Are the Second Ice Firm to be
Wiped Out by Fire.
Satterlee Brothers ice house Just
east of the city burned to the ground
at midnight Saturday. 1t was the third
ice house fire in that immediate vicin-
ity within three months.
That the ice house fire was of incen-
diary origin is not doubted for a mo-
ment by the proprietors, the firemen
or others familiar with the circum-
stances. But at that point the evil
dence seems to cease.
Last July the big double ice house
Of Waldo & Dillenbeck, only 800 yards
from the ice house of Satterlee Broth.
ers, was totally destroyed by fire with
a loss estimated at from $1,000 to
$4,000. No insurance was carried.
The business was recently taken back
by George Schwenk, who had disposed
of the ice plant to the new firm.
Saturday at midnight the Satterlee
ice house was found on fire for the
second time within the week On the
previous Sunday evening the blaze had
been discovered in time to extinguish
the burning straw.
But there was no relief Saturday
night. The house was nearly a mass
of flames when the blaze of light
brought the alarm. Outside Of the fire
limits, there was no possibility of saw
ing the building although the hook and
ladder company made the run to the
fire. The building was total loss and
the ice was badly damaged.
The ice house was valued at about
$1,000. Insurance protection was $500.
About $50 tons of ice was in the house,
the Ice being valued at about $500.
Some insurance was carried on the ice.
The Saterlee ice house stands Just
north Of the residence Of o. e. and
George Satterlee on East Norfolk av-
enue beyond the bridge. Only a strong
south wind Saturday saved the Satter-
lee barn and possibly the home from
destruction.
This was Satterlee Brothers first
year in the ice business and in view Of
the incidents of the past week they
are very uncertain as to their future
course. They have a limited supply
of ice left in the old ice house near
the sugar factory and will try to sup
ply their customers. The firm had re-
Gently completed an ice pond.
With an extended spell of hot wealth
er it is said that Norfolk would face
an ice shortage, the present supply of
ice in the houses of the four local deal
ers being estimated as capable of last
ing about ten days with a warm wealth
er demand. The demand for ice fluc-
tuates greatly in the fall months. AS
a result of the ice house fire last July
some outside ice has already been
shipped into Norfolk.
Satterlee brothers have found moth
ing about the vicinity of the burned
ice house to throw light on the origin
of the fire. The last visit to the ice
house was made at noon, no tramps
were seen about and there is no rea.
son to suspect spontaneous combus-
tion.
The ice house was a new frame
building, S2x50 and twenty feet high.

is the intention of the town council
to extend them into every part of the

Gregory will have the largest and most

of pure, sofe water may be obtained

Besides the $4,000 for the construc-

the expense of putting in a large well
to afford rapid and abundant flow.

Dogs did it and the dogs have been

TAKING OF DOING

The pfsident's talking should not
be deprefiated. It's value to the
country u greater than a good many
people imagine. When the president
says some words on righteousness
and good citizenship on the moral
uplift, and truth, honesty and square
dealing. his words travel farther than
any similar words which might be
uttered by a priest or philosopher or
Journalist. The mere fact that he
utters them gives them an influence
which even II the same thought were
better expressed by others, 1t might
fail to exert. But after all the one
thing hich gives real power to the
presidents talking is the power OF
the presidents doing Street
