The case of Halligan vs. Johnson has been decided by the appellate court, in favor of Johnson. This was an action started in the Jasper circuit court about two years ago by Johnson for damages on account of a sorrel horse taken on an execution by the sheriff of Pulaski county on a judgment in favor of Halligan. Johnson claimed that the horse taken from him was not the horse covered by the Halligan mortgage and Johnson was given judgment of S9O, from which judgment Halligan appealed. Thompson and others, appellants

in the Ryan Ditch case, have ,filed their briefs in the supreme court, and requested oral argument. The petitioners have also filed a motion to dismiss the appeal and it is probable that this case may soon be disposed of.

ICE HOUSES FILLED WITH SPLENDID QUALITY

F. G. Kresler Estimates That He Has 1,500 Tons to Supply Community During Heated Season.

The fear that there would be no natural ice is an annual one, but it began to look quite threatening this year until the cold spell which started two weeks ago. Frank G. Kresler completed the packing of his supply this Thursday, afternoon, although the main force was through Wednesday and were paid off that evening. He estimates that his supply of ice will care for the needs of this community the coming summer and that he has 1,500 tons or a little more in his three ice houses on the bank of the ice pond. The quality is excellent, the ice varying in thickness from 8 to 11 inches.

It is quite probable that Mr. Kresler will install a refrigerating plaht in Rensselaer some time this summer and that after this year he' will manufacture ice instead of packing the natural kind. •
