ATLANTA IS HIT
BY ICE FAMINE

Atlanta Is sizzling under this hot wave
on account of an ice panic that has struck
the city.
So acute has the shortage become that
last night the Southern railway local Of
ficers issued Instructions to the Atlanta
officers to import ice into that town from
nearby cities and not to spare time, money
or equipment to get Ice to the distressed
city.
1t is presumed that the hot wave, which
has been felt here when 1t has not been
raining, has played havoc with the ice
supply In Atlanta
1t has become such a difficult matter
to secure ice in Atlanta that G. w. Tay-
lor general superintendent of transporta-
ton of the Southern, instructed General
Superintendent l.. C. Harris here last
night to endeavor to relieve the situa-
ton. Mr.. Harris accordingly dispatched
several green kilograms which in rail-
road circles spell urgency" The direc-
lions in the kilograms were to relieve
the ice shortage at once by importations
from nearby cities and towns

CAUGHT IN MESHES

They we're simply a pair of handcufrs,
ordinary simple, dyed-in-th wool
handouts, but they had no key and
thereby hangs tale.
A rather inquisitive young man,
whose name was withheld, was play
ing and amusing himself with the
handouts at the Terminal station. He
finally Slipped tifem over his wrists
and snapped them smut, ana thereby
hangs some more of the tale.
The handouts were the property of
George Coursan, formerly deputy
sheriff. Couffsan and his friend were
at the Terminal depot and Coursan's
friend was Examining the "shacks."
After they were snapped on his wrist
the friend casually asked Mr.. Coursan
for the key. Mr. Coursan remarked
that he ed not nave any and up un-
On LATE hour the inquisitive young
man was still in chains
Messenger boys in quest of handcuff
keys, were sent out all over the city.
Nowhere could they find a key that
would unlock the unwilling cuffs and
release their prisoner. The police sta
ton and the sheriff's office were ran
sacked for a key. Nearly every man on
the street was stopped and asked for
key. Women, men, ladies and chill.
dren We're skedsfor a key-and In tho
meantime the young man was being
stared at uncomfortably by everyone
of the large crowd at the Terminal
depot as they all wondered who the
murderer was. As far as could be
learned the precious piece of metal was
never found and the supposition is
that, late. in the night, the wfltinc
young man hunted up a disciple OF WI
can and gave him dollar to get out
OF bed and file the iron bands from
his wrists.
