Lon Hill, Indian plutocrat.
Brownsville, Texas., July 13.
Twenty-five miles north of here
is the feudal town of Harlinger.
You'd never know it was a feu
dal town, to look at it. It's not at
all like the feudal towns you read
about. It's a hustling, up-to-date
place of 2,500- people, the center
of a rich agricultural district, and
it looks like any other thriving
Texas town of its size. It isn;t
walled or moated. And there's no
donjoned and turreted castle
there for its over-lord to live in.
Nevertheless its over-lord is
there,and on the job all the time.
His name is Lon Hill. He owns
Harlinger and all the land there
abouts in fact, all the land be
tween there and Brownsville.
He is worth $6,000,000.
He has twelve automobiles.
He -is a graduate of two colleges.
