City Brief – Keeping Drinks Cool With Hail

Sheriff Huntley went to Bonilla Saturday morning, near which place he has a farm, but no crops, since July 30th. On Sunday, August 1st, he was in that neighborhood and called on a friend. After entering his friend's home he asked for a cool drink, and was told there was some ice cold pop in the house. The sheriff said that would do, and going to the refrigerator he was shown pop bottles lying in a bed of hail stones. "That's the kind of ice we have up here," remarked his friend.
