Closing the Weyerhauser Deal.

l Ao@T,
Closing the Weyerhauser Deal.
Frederick Weyerhauser Yesterday is
sued the statement that the deal with
the Northern Pacific, by which the
Weyerhauser syndicate will obtain
100000 acres of valuable timber lands
in Washington, has not been con.
cluded.
The negotiations have been pro-
crossing smoothly for several weeks
and it is probable that the final settle
ment of the transfer proceedings will
occur within few days. Mr.. Weyer-
hanser's secretary states that the re-
port that the syndicate will obtain
more than the 100000 acres original
ly negotiated for through additions to
the membership of the syndicate and
enlarged plans, is untrue. The deal
will be closed at So, 500, 900 for ], ZOO, 900
acres of land as previously stated
Ledger.

Treasurer Leake, while on his way
home after the Eastern Star Ball.
early Tuesday morning was "he1d-up''
by foot-pads who evidently expected
to scoop the whole proceeds, oyer 5000.
Fortunately he had deposited the
money in a downtown safe, and the
robbers were not rewarded. His watch
was evidently not desired and his
small change overlooked. 1t was a
daring game, and was evidently not
the work of strangers, for his move
ments must have been watched during
the evening. While Mr.. Leake has
little. idea of the wou1d-be robbers, it
is probable that they are the same
parties who have broken into a house
or two in Shelton CT late, and they are
likely to try the trick once too often.
This sort of thing is getting too COM
mon for comfort, and extra vigilance
is necessary.
