Locals and Outsiders Clash Over Proposed Black River Falls Rail
Promoters rejected a $1,000,000 offer from an Eastern firm that would require locals to contribute $300,000 and force Mills Tourtellotte from the project. Frank Hixon and Mills Tourtellotte dispute the charge while detailing past negotiations with Chicago promoter E. F. Chapman and the La Crosse interests. Capital judgments hinge on population and affluent territory before more than $1,000,000 is spent.
