CAN'T CUT ICE
Local Ice Company Had Inlunc lion Against the Zweibels
 Issued This Morning
NO LAKEWOOD ICE

The City Ice company to-day had an injunction issued preventing .Io- seph and Adolph Zweibel from cut. ting ice in the water opposite their property known as Bellview lake. The papers were served by Consta- ble James F. Lunny and the prohibl. tory order was signed by Judge COwelI.
 For years the Zweibels have been accustomed to cut ice and in pur- suance of that custom they cut some yesterday and they intended cutting more to-day. Directly opposite their place there used to be in the old days belore Lakewood or Forest park as some call it, was known as it is known now, large ice house. But when the place was turned into a summer resort by the Pearsalls Of Pearsallville, this old house was re- moved as it was considered an un- slightly object. It blocked the view o, the noble hills lying to the east andits removal gave more space for cutting ice.
 The Zweibels were astonished when the officer read them the contents of the typewritten papers he handed to them, but they have not yet retained a lawyer. If the injunction stands they will have to buy heir ice hereafter like ordin. ary mortals. They are prohibited from cutting ice on Lakewood under penalty of $5,OOO.
