has been success so far as closing
up the stockade is concerned Belle
London has cried quit" She has
thrown up her hands, she has given
up the fight.
Yesterday the property. which Belle
London says cost the Citizens Invest.
ment company in the neighborhood of
half million dollars. was sold to a
man from Indiana by the name Of r.
J. Mundt. According TO the story told
last night, Mr., Mundt has been here
several days and has had his eyes on
the property and was ready to take it
when Belle London capituated. The
sale. she says, was negotiated yester-
day.
And the price?" she was asked
"Oh. say it was 100000 That
wasn't It, but It's close enough 1t

DO you know Mr Mundts plans?"
YES, partly. He says he is going to
build some warehouses in there and

none of them are allowed to stay

Belle London declined last night to

that she would not leave Salt Lake inn
