THE HOLLY CHIEFTAIN
VOLUME XIL
GIGANTIC LAND DFAL
Doubtless before another issue of The Chieftain goes to press, b
land deal of gigantic proportions will probably be pulled off, and the land
in question is situated near the town of !Amil_\', the principals being well
known Holly business men. The consideration is SIOO,OOO.
The sbove confab was overheard by a Chieftain sleuth on Monday
last, and all facts in the deal were considered sub rosa between two
men, who will undoubtedlv tear their hair when this leader appears be
fore their startled vision. The closing of the deal simply awaits a New
York signature.

But No Action Taken
Au interesting session of the city dads was held last Monday. Al
though there wasnot.a full board present. they got.down to bpsiness

attorney says. :
