CO MBlNE
Small Land Owners Would Delay
Milwaukee Cut-Of.
LITTLE TROUBLE is ANTICIPATED
E. E. McEIroy, Who Is Acting as
Agent for the Railroad Company Does
Not Show Uneasiness in Regard to
the Matter.
IFrom Wednesdays Daily

[From Wednesdays Daily.l
Some little trouble is anticipated in
the matter of settling with certain
farmers living west of the city, for
the land which is wanted for the
right of-way of the Milwaukee cutoff
which is soon to be built between this
city and Davenport. 1t may be that
some land will have to be appraised
by sheriffs jury before the railroad
company comes into ownership. e. e.
McElroy, of this city, is handling the
business for the Milwaukee people,
and, although he does not say that he
expects much trouble, it seems that
such a happening is almost GER
tainty.
Form Combine.
A few of the farmers in Wapello
county have, it seems, formed a COM
bine, the object of which seems to be
to bleed the railroad company for
more than the land is worth. 1t is
said that a lawyer is behind the
scheme, and has the confidence of
some of the small farmers who own
but small tracts of land. The attor-
ney, it is said is leading the farmers
to believe that they can get whatever
they want for their lana, and has pre-
vailed upon them to organize in the
scheme.
E. E. McElroy Talks.
Mr.. McElroy was interviewed about
the matter by a Courier reporter to-
day and said that the matter had not
caused him much worry, owing to the
fact that the farmers who are interest
f,,S in, tho Snhnn1n Int liftln lan1
comparatively, and their farms are
not cut into halves by the rightof-way
line but only corners are taken off.
Mr.. McElroy said that he was conf
dent the matter would right itself in
a short time and all would be settled
by the time the company is ready to
use the ground.
In Jefferson County.
Mr.. McElroy returned today from
Jefferson county, where he spent the
past ten days in getting matters set
tied in connection with land for the
Iright-of-way in the corner of that
county. He met the same trouble
there that is confronting him in Wa
lpello county. Some of the farmers
seem to think" he said in
speaking of the matter. that
the Milwaukee company is sim
lply made of money and that my
work is to throw it around the coun-
| try. AS rule, however, the ones
who make the biggest complaint re-
garding my plans of settlement are
THE small owners who have but little
land to sell to the company. The
| large farmers in both Jefferson and
| Wapello counties, are the ones with
whom settle with the most dispatch.
In Jefferson county it took but four
days to settle with four-ffths of the
land owners, and two of those with
whom | failed to settle were men 1
