Rockefeller Buys Up Town to Force
Inn1eeper to Terms

Tarrytown, N. Y. Dec. 2.-For three
years John d. Rockefeller has en-
deavored to buy John J. Melin's prop
erty in Briggsville without success.
Melin keeps a small tavern on the road
to the Standard Oil kings home. 1t
is obnoxious to him and he has time
and time again tried to get possession
of the land.
He even tried to get Melin's license
revoked. So far Melin has beaten him.
When Mr.. Rockefeller realized he
could not GUST MeIin he made a new
move, that of taking Melin's business
away from him. That is what many
believe is his principal reason for buy
ing up Briggsviue.
If Mr.. Rockefeller buys the land and
there are no people to patronize Melin,
why there is nothing for Melin to do
but close out at Rockefeller's price.
Mr.. Rockefeller's recent purchases
have had their effect on Melin already,
his business is dwindling away and
those who frequent his place say he is
losing money.
Melin was asked today what he
thought of Mr.. Rockefeller's plan of
buying up Briggsville.

Rockefeller is too deep for me-"
