ICE
PLANT FOR FARGO
POSSIBILITY OF ARTIFICIAL ICE
PLANT BEING INSTALLED IN
FARGO - NATURAL ICE BEING
SUPERCEDED GENERALLY EVEN
IN NORTHERN CLINICS.

Since artificial ice plants are be-
coming more prevalent throughout the
country even in the n~orthernmost
cllmes, there is a possibility that ar
go nay have one installed here.
At least such a thing has been in
contemplation and Alexander Harrison
Of Minneapolis, contractor and builder
Of artificial ice factories and cold
storage plants, is in the city today in
consultation with leading business
men. commercial club officials and the
owners of the Fargo-Detroit Ice Co..
Nearly every city of any consequence
in the United States has done away
with natural ice and supports an
artificial ice plant of some description.
Even the growing cities of Alaska,
where natural ice is plentiful almost
the entire ear round, now have arti-
fetal ice plants.
An advantageous feature of the arti-
fetal ice plant yer the use of natural
ice is the doing away with t~ransporta-
ton. Railroads dislike to carry ice be-
tween points. Their special cars for
this purpose are SO soon rotted out
and have to be replaced too often.
Consequently the freight rates have
to be higher for ice which is hard on
the natural ice plant owners and
eventually the pays the
freight. Anyway the railroads don't
particularly care for the business.
Artificial ice plants, where ice is manu-
featured right at nome in all seasons,
do away with this.
Artificial ice consequently is some
what cheaper. 1t is considered far
superior from a standpoint of SANTA
ton. ALI water used for the manu-
facture of ice is distilled before placed
in the cans. The freezing process is
by the aid of chemicals.
There is little waste with artificial
ice as there is with natural ice where
it freezes with a certain grain and
unless cut accordingly. much is lost
With the process of manufactured ice
there is no grain SO hat 1t may be
cut anyway with little loss.
Mr.. Harrison reports that he ha
met with considerable encouragement
here and that it is entirely possible
that the local ice operators may install
such a plant here in Fargo. which hi
knows would increase greatly the
volume Of their already large bust
ness.

ED IN FRONT STREET ROoMING
HOUSE LAST NIGHT FOR $14 HE
HAD ON HIS PERsoN-AssAlL-
ANT CAUGHT,

Last night Anton Krentch, an
street rooming house n his head
beaten almost to a pulp, presumably
for $14 he had on his person. KrentCh
is in a very bad condition and it is
feared there are fractures Of the skull
although his could not be definitely
aSCcrtained at the present time. The
man he alleges assailed him, Albert
MOlta, vas bound over to the district
our today by Judge Miller and is IN
the county jail, failing to cur bond.
According to krentCh he met Molta
in a Moorhead saloon and the two be-
came friendly. Krentch can speak lit
tie English, having been in this country
about two years, and as Molta spoke
his native tongue. the two easily be-
came Chummy under the influence OF
a couple of drinks.
Krentch was invited to spend the
night with MOlta and not having
secured a lodging place accepted the
offer. He says hat while he was
asleep Molta attacked him and tried
to choke him but he resisted and at
one time got Molta down. He says
that Molta then broke away and grab
bed up a coupling pin and beat Kren-
tCh over the head. Krentch then ran
for the doorway and unlocking it ran
out and called for assistance.
KrentCh has two ugly, ragged gashes
cut in his scalp about three inches
long in addition to a number of small
er ones and several large abrasions,
DR.. kaess was called to dress the in
jured mans wounds and a number OF
stitches had to be taken in each cut
the larger one being gashed to the
skull. DR.. Kaess stated that he fear
cd there were some fractures Of the
skull as Krentch showed symptoms OF
such injury.
The injured man said he believed
the assault was made to obtain $14
which he had on his person. Moltd
was bound over or a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.

JOHNNY COULON
GETS DECISION
The Champion DisappOints
Fans in Fight With
Sinnet

Racine, Wis, January 21-Johnny
Coulon. bantamweight champion, won a
shade from Young Sinnet of Rock Island,
in a fast 10-round bout here tonight
Coulon's superior boxing entitled him to
margin. but it was a slight lead. The
rugged Rock islander proved a willing
mixer and staggered Coulon repeatedly
with heavy swings to the head and face.
Coulcn apparently proved a disappoint-
ment to the crowd. As the rounds went
it was apparent that he was tiring
rapidly, and he frequently resorted to
clinches
1t was evident from the first minute
fighting that Johnny's cleverness would
be hard problem for Sinnet, who stolld-
ly followed Coulon about the ring. SIN
nets best showing was in the second
round. He opened with a hard lett jan TO
the face and made Coulon miss repeated
1y. He followed up his advantage with
Iefts and rights to the head and body,
and toward the close of the round stag
sered Johnny with a left swing to the
head Coulons retaliatory efforts ap-
parently lacked steam.
In the third round Coufon repeatedly
jabbed Sinnet's eye, somewhat dazing
Sinnet and causing him to back away
and rub out the Dlocu- Inc Iourlil, iiieh'
sixth and ninth rounds were slightly in
favor of Coulon, while the seventh and
eighth easily went to Sinnet.
In the seventh round the Rock Island
boy staggered Johnny with several well
directed blows to the frce and jaw.
The closing round was fairly even.
Coulons cleverness was far superior to
the slow going Sinnet, but 1t was evil
dent he could do little damage At no
time did he have an opportunity to score
a decisive victory.

- tect the players that have
been signed, the Federal leaguers
have issued an ultimatum to or
ganized ball not to tamper with
the players that have already
jumped to the new league. The
pot was started boiling by the
announcement of President Baker
that, he had signed Catcher VIII
liam Killifer, who was reported to
have been corraled by the Balti-
more Federals for three years.
Gilmore wired President Baker
that Killifer had signed contract
with the Federal league and that
both the players of the new
league and their contracts would
-be fully protected.
1t is believed that should the
Philadelphia club sign Killifer and
Brennan, and a civil court uphold
the jumping of their Federal
league contract, the decision would
start free-for-all campaign for
big league players already signed.
Garry Hermann. chairman of thte
