that the men who handle the team and APP
paratus on the exhibition run, will only
be absent from the city a few hours eacn

it Is our belief that the team can be al

property in this city.
! friendly to Council Bluffs and have granted
us favors in the past, therefore, in view
of the above stated considerations, we re-
specially request that you give permission
