COLFAX EON THLIS 7
Illinois Traction Company Takes
Option on Light Plant.

Colfax Tribune: The Illinois Trac-
ton company is negotiating for the
purchase of the Colfax Electric Light
franchise and plant as a means OF
entering business in this city and for
the purpose of carrying out their
plans of controlling the electric light
and gas privileges in this section OF
the state. The company is also
known as the Mckinley Syndicate,
corporation which for financial
strength stands next in influence to
N. w. Harris & Co, of Chicago. The
company now controls Mthe electric
light and power franchise in Des
Moines and Oskaloosa, and gas fran
chises in several other cities in this
section of the state.
Hearing the report that a sale of
property here had been made repre-
sentative of the Tribune called on F.
L. Breeder, local manager and one of
the heaviest stockholders in the plant,
and he stated Nhat an option of pur-
CudOS udu utCH " bCNOlAiO
fective about September 1st, or there
abouts, and II the company carries
out their option the transfer will in
all probability be made at that time.
The proposition came to Mr.. Breed
en- as a thunderbolt from a clear sky,
he not having been apprised of the
intention of the corporation until ap-
preached on the subject last week.
In fact until that time he had not
given matter of sale of the plant and
franchise serious thought, as the busi-
ness has been very satisfactory and
is on the increase.
While the matter has been kept a
profound secret IL has been known to
the writer that the corporation had
desire to secure the Colfax franchise
for some few months, in fact since
last winter when a legal representa-
tive of the corporation called at the
Tribune office, secured permission to
see the files of the paper and became
very much interested in the published
franchise which was voted and grant
ed to the local concern of June 20.
1912. He stated that he represented
corporation interested in public
utilities and that the desire was to
keep posted on the sort Of franchises
granted in the cities in this section
of the state, both for gas and electric
utilities.
The move now made by the corpora
ton In securing a thirty days option
is believed to be the first step In car
rying out their intention to secure the
local plant and franchise II price
within reason could be secured on II.
II the deal Is consummated 1t will
probably be the next move OF the cor
poration to ask gas franchise Of the
people OF Colfax with the view to
supply both gas an delectric energy.
This move, however. Is purely specu-
lative at this time. but is in keeping
with the policy Of the company.

him for assault with intent to murder.
The supreme court today affirmed a
decision of the Birmingham city court,

The supreme court also reversed and
remanded the case of the Nashville, Chat

senger of the company's and that she
should have been protected, but the su-
preme court held that the agent had no
reason to know the cause of the mar
shafs search. Mrs. Crosby sued for $2O-
