Mount Lowe Railway Company will
be sold under foreclosure proceedings

For several months Arthur B. Cody
of Chicago has been buying up the
bonds of the company at the maxi
mum price of 211a cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Cody is a member of the Protective
Committee, the other members being
P. Nj. Green, Andrew McNally, J. S.
Terrence and J. D. Pope. 1t was
through this committee that the fore
closure proceedings were begun, and
they will in all probability endeavor to
bid in the property.
1t is said that Valentine Peyton, q
capitalist of Danville, ILL.,, will furnish
the money for the purchase. 1t is not
unlikely that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will also bid for the road. They
own $4,000 worth of the bonds of the

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22-There

Shortly after 8 o'clock Schroeder was
