Men With scrapers and ShoveIs Dio
Not Allow Snow to Stop Their
Wonderful Harvest
on Canal.
TO FILL HANNIBAL HOUSE
1000 Tons of Ice Are Required to FIN
it and keokuk Ice is Being
Put in at the Large
@ Ice House.

Many empties continue to arrive in
the city over the @. to be filled with
ice and shipped south and over the
different branch lines running out of
this city.
The ice men beat all previous req
ords yesterday when they cut one
hundred and seventy eight cars of ice,
seventy-tWo cars of which was cut by
the one ice firm of McManus and
Tucker. The other men in the field
also cut much ice and the harvest will
be one of the best in years.
The ice men are thanking their
lucky stars today that the weather
man decided to send snow instead OF
rain for the snow can be scraped from
the ice with but very little extra Ia
Dor and proceed as before but in ad-
vent of rain the harvest would be end
ed for the present and many thousands
Of tons of ice lost.
Sixty-seven cars of ice have been
sent to the O. ice house at Hannibal,

of 1000 tons and capable of holding

ice is being cut in the river at Hanni-
bal but word from that place says that
it is not of the best quality.
This morning all hands were busy
on the canal with shovels and snow
scrapers taking off the snow so that
the harvest might proceed. The rea-
son for the increase in the harvest
each day is that the ice is taken out
more easily and much faster as the
men become more accustomed to the
work and it is thought that today will
| see the largest cut SO far this week.
! Car leaders are receiving 81 per
! day and over and men are always N
| demand at the fields. IL the present
weather continues for few days the
ice houses of the city will be filled to
overflow and there need be no famine
in the city for want of ice the coming
summer. About half of the harvest is
retained for local consumers and the
other half is shipped out to all parts
of the country, south and west OF here
Keokuk is one of the greatest ice CEN
tiers in the country At present there
are over five hundred men employed
on the canal by the half dozen or
more ice companies in harvesting ice.

They made the trip both ways in
the snow storm. Knight was report
ed to be bad man who would prob.
ably kill everyone in sight when any
attempt was made to arrest him, but
he proved very peacable and came
along without any trouble whatever.
This morning he was up in the SUI
perior court and entered a plea of not
guilty to both informations. His face
was scratched up and he admitted
having struck Lowe but said that
Lowe also struck him and that Lowe
had started the trouble.
Lowe was also in court and appear
ed with scratches On his face and a
blood shot eye.
Knight was placed under a 800
bond on the assault and battery charge
and a $3.50 bond on the threat to kill
charge, to have his hearing later.
Then motion was argued for a
change of venue in the Jones VS..
Knight case. asking that it be sent
over to the district court.
There is no way of Aelling whether
this is the start or the finish of the
excitement.
Growing out of the trouble, Judge
Mcnamara had his first ride in the
patrol wagon last evening when ne
was sent for at his home to come
down and draw up the informations
