day and Fishing Shanties Set Up.

The Consolidated Ice Delivery company
and Julius Roland began harvesting Ice
in earnest Yesterday, and by night hun
dreds Of tons had been stored away in
the fee houses. The company was cut
ting inside the breakwater for cold stor-
age purposes and had about % teams
and nearly IS mon at work. To-day they
Will begin cutting outside the break
water and every available man and team
will be engaged The apparatus is in
position for conveying the fee over the
breakwater and from there II will be
carried bytcams to the Barley and Stand
ard Ice company ice houses. The last
house to be filled will be that on Maple
street. Here the ice is carried under
ground and if the sleighing disappears. it
will not affect the work. 1t Is estimated
that about 20,0Oo tons of ice will he har-
vested this year on account of tho late
freezing of the Hudson river It IS prob
able that Burlington dealers can dispose
of any surplus there. The cold storage
ice which was taken Yesterday is about
10 inches thick and of excellent quality.
Mr.. Roland got his tee far out IN the
lake at a point opposite Lakeside and dis
tributcd some of It to his customers Yes
tcrday. a number of ice packers arrived
in the city yesterday from points along
the Hudson. They are experts and are
employed by the local people to some
extent.
At least 20 fishing shantios were placed
on the lake yesterday, forming a colony
at the south end of the breakwater with
"A few at the other end. The fish are not
biting we'll as vet in Burlington harbOr
and most of the good catches have been
made in Shelburne bay or Grand Isle
waters. Shelburne pond has also been
Improbable to the local fishermen and
no good catches have been reported from

the entire proceedings were based on
the assumption that the women were
married, the prosecution had to begin all
over again and all parties concerned were
