TOBIE SHOUTS HOT air.
SAYS ALPHABET NOT SOLD TO
THE MILWAUKEE.
However, He Admits That Officials OF
That Company Have Inspected
D., St. c., G. & M. R.R.

A representative of The Albert Lea
Times Enterprise showed the story
published in The Free Press relative to
the sale of the Alphabet to the Mil
waukeeN to Z. L.. Tobie, who is man.
aging the business of the Alphabet,
and he was asked as to the correct
ness of the same. Mr.. Tobie smiled
and replied that there were so many
"hot air stories afoat in the newspa-
pers from time to time as to the Al
phabet and IT'S being purchased by the
Milwaukee or some other line, that I
sometimes feel that it is hardly worth
the time to say anything regarding it.
However, you may say the Milwaukee,
Illinois Central, Iowa Central, nor no
other railway company has taken over
the Duluth, st. Cloud, Glencoe & Nam
kato Railway company"
1T is quite likely the story
sprung from the fact" continued Mr..
TObie, "that several of the Milwaukee
officials were over our line. They were
in Albert Lea a few weeks ago on
business, and after that had been
transacted, / invited them to 90 out
over the Alphabet, and they accepted
the invitation. We went out to St.
Clair. They were well pleased with
what they saw of the country and
conditions up that way That was all
there was to it, Mr.. Tobie further
offered The Times Enterprise represen-
tatiye some apparently very good proof
that the Alphabet road is at the pres
ent time an independent-road and not
under the control of any of the big
systems"
The trip of the officials was made
for the purpose of inspecting the AL
phabet and a report of their findings
was submitted to the president and di-
rectors of the Milwaukee. The Free
Press was informed today that
the Milwaukee was given an opportun-
ity to purchase the road.
A few days ago an official of the
Milwaukee stated to party in this
city that the Milwaukee had purchased
the Alphabet.

KILLING FROST LAST NIGHT
Very Little Corn Was Damaged, Veg
etabIes and Flowers Cut.

There was heavy, killing frost last
night. 1t was clear freeze, for the
mercury descended to twenty eight de-
grees, or four degrees below the freez-
ing point. 1t was the first killing
frost of the season, and came eleven
days ahead of the first killing frost
last year.
Very little corn was damaged by the
frost, for all that was expected to get
ripe was out of the way of frost.
In fact, good deal of the corn is
now in the shock. Vegetables and
flowers were cut down.

Citizen: What do you think of a

/ price to 35 cents Or get out Of the
business. I refused to do it and in a
few days I had to quit by order of a

as strong as that even I think it is
time to call a halt.

good it would insure more prompt de-
