REACHED AGAIN
scores of Men Busy Cutting Ice on
Nearby LakeS-MOrc Cold
Weather Coming.

While heavy snowstorm was
moving across Illinois toward Indi-
ana Friday, middle west cities were
visited with a general spread of dis
agreeable weather. A miniature biz
zard was pelting Indianapolis and
central Indiana and sleet was report
ed falling in many cities as far south
as Atlanta. Northern Indiana was in
the grip of snOwstorm and tempera-
lures were slightly above zero.
Grand Rapids reported a tempera-
ture of four degrees below zero and
clear weather. In St Louis ten inches
OF snow had fallen before 8 O'Clock.
The mercury rested at the zero mark
in South Bend for three hours Friday
morning. but at Z o'clock began
climbing steadily until at o'clock in
the afternoon it stood at above.
With the fall in temperature during
the last week the ice man has been
given the opportunity to secure mis-
winter harvest and there is hardly a
lake in this vicinity that he has not
visited. On most lakes the ice al
ready measures nearly eight inches in
depth and according to cutters is clear
and sound. Scores of men are at
work and unless q sudden change for
warmer weather takes place in the
next few days the ice dealers will be
able to secure their usual early crop.
Hudson lake, Fish lake, and Chain
lakes are all scenes Of activity on the
part of the ice men.
