Now, to use plain language, Mr.. Wash
burn lied and lied deliberately. He had
then been in negotiation for weeks trying
to arrange terms of sale, and in two weeks
more the people all knew he lied and he
didn't deny it. The Pioneer Press of May
2, 1882, announced the sale under head
lines as follows:
Bound by the Cable Tow-The Mime
apolis & st. Louis under the control Of the
Rock Island system-A confirmation of
previous rumors that sell out had been
Effected
Then followed the details, including the
statement that 'the Rock Island and
Omaha folks had purchased one-half the
stock and secured absolute control, and
added that the trade was made two weeks
ago."
The other papers had the news also.
Look back over their files, if there are any
doubters. You will find in the Tribune a
New York special saying, ''Overtures were
first made for this purchase some six weeks
ago, but all conditions were not met and
difficulties overcome until during the last
| forty hours. The work at this end
