The courthouse crowd played a little game of “freezeout” this morning. A bursted pipe leading into the building from the heating plant at the jail caused all the heat to be diverted from the building. The pipe was repaired about 10 o'clock and gradually the big building was warmed up. George Ade, the author and playwright, slipped on the icy pavement at Lafayette Sunday and fell to the walk, striking on his head and being rendered unconscious for a short time. No serious Injury resulted from the fall and after"! stiort rest he was able to be out on the street again.
