Clinton, Feb. 24.-Present indications
are that the 1915 ice crop at Clinton
and other river cities will be only
about two thirds of that generally
harvested by the ice dealers here. The
local cutters have faced difficult
problem this year and most of them
have their ice houses only from half
to three-fourths filled while few of
those who took advantage Of the first
freeze are able to boast Of full houses
The worst feature is that nearly
every dealer predicts there will be no
more ice this year. The ice in the river
at the present time is badly honey
combed and the rapid rise Of the wa
ter has torn itSloose at the edges in
many places, besides wearing 1t badly
on the bottom surface.
II the prediction of the dealers
comes true, the ice crop in Clinton this
year will be greatly lessened but the
dealers say they do not intend to in
crease the price on this account. While
some Of the dealers were fortunate
enough to get as good ice as last year
the majority were unable to get either
the quality or quantity they did the
year before. <T ..s
Superintendent Shankland, of the
Northwestern railway succeeded In
putting UP enough ice for the local
houses by working his men at all pos
sible times. He was unable to ship any
to other points along the line this
year.

Council Bluffs, Feb. The

Martinsburg, w. Vs.-The trial of
Jeff Harrison, Of San Antonio. Texas,
for holding up Baltimore and Ohio
mail train at Central Station, w. Va,
on the night Of October Q, 1915, and
looting a mail car OF unsigned national
bank notes to the amount OF 100000
came to an abrupt termination In the
United States Court here, when the
accused man arose and declared to
Judge Dayton that he wished to change
his plea Of not guilty, to one of guilty
to that count OF the indictment which
charged him with placing in jeopardy
the lives of Government railway postal
officials.
District Attorney Walker accepted
the plea and Judge Dayton immediate
" sentenced Harrison to IL years in
the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta,
Ga.
The trial OF Eugene Diez, an alleged
member of the gang OF bandits of
which Harrison was the active head,
and who was indicted jointly with Har.
rison, probably will not take place
until next week. Diez is alleged to
have made a confession TO District AT
torney Walker, and is said to have
implicated several others than those
under arrest.
Harrison, for the first time since his
arrest, talked freely with United
States Marshal Smith, after being sen.
fenced He told OF climbing into the
engine cab and at the point of a re-
volver compelling Engineer Grant
Helms, after the engine and mail cars
had been detached from the rest OF the
train, to run the locomotive two miles
down TIE track. where the mail cars
we're riaed and 100000 in unsigned
currency taken. Harrison and his
companion then fed to the woods,
where they divided their loot and re-
mained few days They then separ.
ated.
Harrison said he returned to his
home in San Antonio, Texas. where he
reopened his machine shop after bury.
ing s2S,OO0 under the floor This was
recovered when the Federal authorl.
ties searched the shop after his arrest,
He said he had never killed a man.
but was present when his gang muir

crime he was sentenced to life i'm.
prisonment, but President Mckinley
commuted It to 10 years and President
Roosevelt pardoned him after he had
served seven years.
