BIG DEAL IN LAND:
DesMoines, IA. July 3.—William Larrabee Jr., and Victor Dolliver were in the city yesterday with capitalists from northern Iowa and closed the big land deal by which ex-Governor Larrabee disposes of a tract of land in Grant township, Kossuth county, containing 7200 acres.  The land was purchased by the ex-governor many years ago for a small sum. The consideration was $250,000.  The purchasers were Jasper Thompson and E. H. Rich and their brothers, all of Forrest City.  Source: The Kearney Daily Hub, Kearney, Nebraska, July 3, 1901
