Dunkle Dressed to Kill and When He

Attorney Got Next.

Cedar Falls, Dec lift the New
YORK George IA. Dunkle who has Gre
ated stir turnout the world by sign
ing an affidavit accusing DR.. Cook of
buying his north pole observations is
the same George H. Dunkle who OBJ
tanned gas franchise from the city of
Cedar Falls in 1904, the people here
would be glad to have him come back
to Iowa and pay few debts still
taxed up to him here.
People of Cedar Falls believe the
New York insurance broker is the
same man who buncoed Cedar Falls.
In 1904, when Dunkle came to Cedar
Falls and applied for a franchise, he
was received with open arms. Cedar
Falls wanted gas. Dunkle had it fol
sale. In fact he was a whole gas plan
in himself. When his broadcloth sui
and patent feathers strolled down MAR
street there was a face in every Win
dow.
, AT the special election Dunkle was
given franchise by an overwhelming
vote. With the franchise in his pocket
he left for Chicago, and that is the
last Cedar Falls ever saw of him. PEG.
pie here think he had expected to sci
the franchise for a big rake-off, bu
think that the city attorney Slipped
one over on him and drew up fran.
ehise SO alright that he couldn't dis
pose of it.
At the present time the expenses o
that election are chalked up to Dunkl
and the city pocketbook has hole II
