SIX INCH ICE IS
DUE HERE /: MONDAY N
Weather Man Believes Lake Coop.
er's Coat Of Armor VIII be That
Thick BY To
morrow.
COLD WAVE WILL LAST
Mercury Down Below Zero and Con.
tinued Frigld Weather
is Promised for
Today.

Six inch ice by tomorrow morning
is the prediction the weather man is
willing to make. Observer Gosewisch
at the local station, said last night,
he thought the coat on Lake Cooper
would be a foot thick by Monday
morning. AS there is no prospect OF
spring dropping into the lap Of win
ter at the present time. the ice man
will have chance to use all the saws
he has been SO diligently sharpening.
Ice on Lake Cooper is about two
and half inches thick, the ice men
said yesterday. It would have been
thicker, one of the dealers explained,
Ii it were not for the blanket OF snow
which has tendency to keep the ice
warm and from freezing as fast as it
otherwise would.
The ice men are preparing to har.
vest this belated crop of frozen water
just as soon as it is anywhere near
thick enough. There is an order for
$4,000 tons from the Burlington route
to be filed, and the local dealers are
hopeful of long enough crop to al
low them to fill their houses. Big
consumers of ice in the city were
rather dubious as to the chances of
getting ice, but joy is reigning now
in the camp.
According to Observer Gosewisch
this present cold wave will continue
today and tonight with this severe
temperature, The break may come
about Monday. The mercury was
scheduled to slide down the tube to
between G and below zero last
night At midnight it was on fair
way to those depths of the thermom-
eter tube.
The cold wave which arrived Fri
day night and which gave the city its
first dose of winter weather came from
the frozen west, not from the much
maligned Medicine Hat district. The
temperature dropped to four below
zero yesterday morning. During the
day time, the mercury managed to
creep into the tube for the long dis
lance of II above zero. But for the
most part the creaking of frozen snow
warned people that the weather was
not OF the variety that strawberries
thrive in.
1t is generally believed that there
VIII be low temperature in this sec
ZION for several weeks now.

ton, so to speak, as It is chuck full
of local hits and puns about the diff
ferent Elks in Bryan. 1t is said to
be only a forerunner for the big show,
as they promise to give us minstrel
far superior to any yet put on by the
antlered herd.

Concord, n. H., March Hilary
X. Thaw has addressed to the people
of the State of New York, in whose

case against him. A statement of the
case was telegraphed by Thaw to
newspapers and press associations

handing that the prosecution be ter
minated.
Thaw, reviewing his two trials, sets
forth that of the twenty-six men con-
fined with him in the Tombs in 1906
charged with homicides twenty.three
are free today and other men have
escaped from Matteawan without be-
ing pursued. The statement concludes
as follows:
