REBUILDING ICE PLANT
COST 100000

Fire damage, which was partly
covered by insurance, was con-
fined to the building, pipes, wir-
ing and one of the freezing tanks.
A preliminary investigation re-
vealed only minor damage to the
complicated machinery, Collins
said.
A small compressor moved from
the CaleXico plant to the storage
room of the Ell Centro plant to
take care of asparagus growers
who must pre-cool their shipments
and have them iced Coolins said
before the fire was out the COM
mittee of asparagus growers called
upon him to inquire if the compa-
ny would be able to handle their
ice and preceding needs. These
shippers were assured that the
Imperial Ice company would make
every effort to safeguard the ship
mentS even if it meant hauling
ice from surrounding plants.
This compressor now operating
at Ell Centre will be returned to
the CaleXico plant when the re
building of the Ell Centro works is
completed. There will be no dis
mantling of any other Imperial

E. Swader
Gets Long
Pen Term
Burglar Who Escaped
Fro mCO unity Jail
Sentenced

Everett Swader pleaded
guilty to burglary and to a
charge of escaping from the
Imperial county jail and
was sentenced to Folsom by
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson in
superior court Friday.
His sentence on the burglary
charge will mean he will serve not
less than one year and not more
than IA years. The sentence for
escaping from the Jail means a
sentence OF not less than one year
and not more than 10 years.
The youth had served a sentence
in an Arizona prison previous to
his ENHANCEMENT with law enforce
ment officers in Imperial county.
He entered the j. S. Jones home
in Ell Centro July 4, 1885, and ap-
propriated several outfits of cloth
ing. He shaved, played the radio
and talked to his girl in Las Cruces,
N. NJ, while in the home. He
then telephoned for a taxi and de-
parted for the stage station with
suitcase full of clothing and cash
he had picked up in the house.
Ell Centro police arrested him
when he became too talkative be-
cause of too much wine: The stolen
property was found in the check
stand at the station.
Swader was turned over to coun-
ty officers and charged with bur-
glary. While awaiting trial he
escaped from the county jail He
disappeared in September, 1885,
and was not placed behind the bars
again until almost a year later.
Trace of him was found in Texas
and again in New Mexico but each
time he avoided being sent back to
this county.
He finally was arrested in Kla-
math Falls, Ore, and brought to
face the original burglary charge
and the charge of escaping jail was
added to it.
