MYSTERIOUS LAND SALE

Joining the city limits of Council Bluffs
at an average price of 5000 an acre, do
not divulge their plans, lot of peo-
ple. 1t is feared will be stricken with
psresis or something equally as bad.
Since the purchase was announced,
ana the man who engineered the deal
admitted he was representing others,
speculation has been rife as to the
purposes Of the real purchasers. The
land lies in one body and is too valu-
able for ordinary purposes, hence 1t is
surm:sed the newt owners have some
big pans.
The latest guess as to the use the
Land is to be put to is that 1t was
bought by the Northwestern Railroad
company for terminal grounds and
machine shops. The same guess has
it that the shops! at Missouri VALLEY
will be abandoned and all the work
cs1tered fere.
Mr.. Sturgeon, of Henderson, VINO
made tire deal says he is ignorant OF
the owners intentions. He said lie
was told by those giving him his in
structions that they were from Des
Moines, Since then it has been learned
that j. H. Hastings, of Des Moines,
figured in the deal, and that part of
the purchase money was in drafts on
the Valley National bank of Des
Moines.

One of the Most Intense Politi-

Chicago Now On
MUD SINGING ON BOTH SIDES
Personalities and Severe Charges and
Counter Charges Mark the Closing
Week - Street Car Facilities tn.
Chief Issue, With Democrats Stand
ing for Municipal Ownership.

Chicago, Maarch 2s.-The mayoralty
campaign now on in this city has be-
come one of the most intense political
contests Chicago has seen in years.
Both adterents to Mayor Dunno, who
Is seeking reelection, and Frederick A.
Busse, the republican candidate, has
allowed themselves in their enthusiasm
to indulge in bitter personalities
Charges and counter charges have
been made with great energy on both
sides.
The proposition to give better street
car facilities thruout the city is the
main issue Of the campaign. Both
republicans and democrats are agreed
that this is eminently desirable but
there is radical difference as to the
best means of obtaining the result. The
democrats pin their faith to the doc
trine of municipal ownership as advo-
Gated by Dunno. The republicans stand
behind the ordinances recently passed
by the city council over the mayors
veto, which declare in favor of imme-
date improvement of the street car
systems, with municipal ownership
much further in the background than
is deemed desirable by Dunno and his
following The fight so far has been
extremely warm, with the heat likely to
increase between now and next Tues
day. when the election is to be held.
W r. Hearst has entered the fight
and is bending every effort for the
success Of Dunno, democrat.
