Sioux City Tribune, 6th: "It has been persistently rumored for the last two or three days that the Lion lu W Mctinire, a large real estate owner and boat enthusiast of Riverside, has decided to transfer Li residence to Crystal lake," said John C Moor iu a joking way this morning. "It is stated," continued Mr Moore with a twinkle in his eye, "that Mr MeOuire intends to sell his largo holdings of property at the river, consisting o! summer cottages, boat houses, eto, and a large fleet of gasoline, naptha and steam launches, and invest his capital in cottages,1 pavilions, bath houses, boats, etc, at CrysUl lake. It is rumored, in faot, that Mr Mo duire intends building a $50,000 pier at the new resort. Fur some uu known reason Mr MeOuire has be- ime dissatisfied with Riverside, -of which he has Wen an ardent support er and promoter for years, and thai resident of that district and. others who have large investments there are ' greatly worried over the reports re garding Mr MoO aire's intentions. It is estimated that if he carries out his present plans, it will mean the with (irawil of at leas a quarter of a mill ion dollars' from UivtrsMe's support.
