SPECIAL 10 lilt
New Castle, Aug. 11.-For the past
few weeks there have been rumors
that the Tasker Iron Works had been
sold. The reports probably were based
on the fact that on several occasions
parties of two or three men have Wis
tied the plant and were shown through.
Despite the denials by officials con-
nected with the plant, there is founda-
ton for the belief that something IS
doing" tt is known that men proml-
nent in iron work are very anxious 10
obtain possession Of the plant, and
have made offers for it. In the mean
time residents of New Castle are
watching the stacks at the plant, for IL
smoke issues from them other than
what is necessary in barely keeping
the fires burning for insurance protec-
ton, everybody will believe that gen.
eral overhauling will begin.
