BOUGHT FOR PINE LAND.
ElwoOd Brown Buys Valuable
Mineral Land Without Know


1t was understood on the streets yes
terday and among mining spectators
thai Eastern capitalists were still after
Elwood Brown and his mining lands,
and had made him another and higher
offer on his ST. Louis county. Minnesota,
iron mining land. 1t was learned that
the capitalists were represented by a
George Stokes, of Chicago, and Ed
Pullman. of New York city. The offer
was 100000 for 40 acres of land, but
Mr.. Brown refused to listen to the offer
and is waiting for the bids. EIwood
Brown is quiet character in himself
among western capitalists. He was
formerly owner of the Hotel Bruins
wick, and has owned more or less Min
neap0lis property. This property in
St.Louis county came into his possession
almost by accident. He purchased it a
few years ago as pine line unaware of
its value as iron mining land. Experts
now say that it is very valuable tract.

The charges against L. w. Pierce of
embeZzlement were dismissed on the
recommendation of the county attor-
ney. The charges grew out of the fail
ure of the Northwestern Collection,
Loan and Trust association, and as
Pierce was only employed as clerk
the grand jury failed to find an indict-
ment against him. The charges of
grand larceny against Ed Flanagan,
Ed Ryan and James Wheeler were also
dismissed as they have been indicted
the district court.
George Lund, member of the Min
neappiis fire department., was charged
by Mary Malthe, pretty seventeen
year-old maiden, with being the author
of her present interesting condition.
In her testimony Mary became mixed
as to her dates, but referred to inter-
views she had with George in a wood
yard near the engine house, and de-
scribed carriage ride she had taken to
Silver Lake. George denied the whole
story, and had several witnesses to
show that Mary had said in their pres
ence that George had never been I'M
duly familiar with her. Judge Emery
dismissed the case. and Mary will prob
ably inform the grand jury Of ner

LOTTERY AND POLICY.

They Go Hand in Hand Under Mr.. Cregiers
Able Administration of the Police De
partment.
1t will be impossible to give in one
issue all of the facts relating to lotter
les and their evil effects in Chicago.
The EAGLE has enough information
about the lotteries, their managers and
agents to fill book. 1t will give this
information to the public in install
ments To-day, the policy game, which
is the meanest form of lottery, is taken
up and the war will be continued
until every yestige of the corrupt sys-
TEN is wiped out
There are in Chicago some thirty
places where the adventurous citizen
can tempt fortune in the guise of
policy.
Policy is not a game which wise men
play. The chances are too completely
against the player to tempt any one
who has a mind in the least mathe-
matical 1t has been calculated that
the odds are 1906 to 1 against three
numbers turning up in the daily report,
but if the player gets these three mum
bers he gets 200 times his stake.
That is, suppose that a stake of 81
were played in, the lottery managers,
instead of giving the winning player
S75, ,O7G, as they should honestly do,
give him $2OO-something like $40
times too little money. As a conse-
quence, the game is played chiefly by
the ignorant. The average white man
would sooner blow in his money
against faro or roulette whore the
odds are not quite as bad as $40 to 0,
than in policy, where one can get moth
ing better than an opportunity TO con.
tribute something for nothing.
