Estherville suit over M. & St. L. bonds cited as town’s progress
A. F. Lough leads a suit against Mayor E. J. Breen and Councilman F. Albro to recover 12,126 for depot grounds and right of way issued by Estherville in 1900. The petition alleges a city-defrauding conspiracy. The article defends council actions, praising results from the M. & St. L. line, new businesses, and town growth, and attacks Lough as opposing progress. An excursional notice toward end promotes railroad fares and a fair event.
