That the recent change of ownership
OF the controlling stock in the Ham
mond Pure Ice company will insure to
the benefit of the stockholders and to
the consuming public was demonstrat-
ed this morning when announcement
was made of a reduction of prices. It
is expected that the Knickerbocker Ice
company will have to follow suit to
the precedent set by the Hammond
Pure Ice company. The Hammond Pure
Ice company has been praised for re-
fusing to gouge consumers.
Beginning today the price of ice will
be reduced from 80 to 25 cents per 100
pounds to saloonkeepers and butchers.
and others using large quantities, and
as low as 221z cents to these consum-
ers who buy their ice in advance by the
book system.
The price to the private consumer
remains unchanged, at 40 cents per 100,
although the book system there also
provides for a~reduction of 2H cents If
paid in advance.

THE DAY IN
HAMMOND
Wagon Was Wrecked.

A wagon belonging to the woodruff
Ice Cream company, 81 State street,
broke down at the corner of Sihley and
Holman streets about 80 o'clock this
morning and delayed street car traf-
ic for nearly fifteen minutes.
The wagon was loaded with a guam
tity of ice cream, and as the wheels
struck the street car tracks the avei
on the rear wheel broke, causing the
wagon to tip and scattering it's con-
tents about the street.
The street cars were unable to pass
until another wagon was secured and
reloaded. No damag sc was done to the
ice cream.

Court Opening Not Delayed.

In the heading of the court story
in the early part of the week, this pa

the supposition that the courts should
have opened on next week. Such is
not the case. The law creating SUI
perior court for Hammond provides
that the September term opens the
second Monday. as the body of the ar
ticle read.
