Four Thousand Dollars in Cash and Land Schemes Unfold
The piece recounts J. J. Phelan, a longtime land agent and former U P land agent, selling town lots at Denver Junction and traveling with four thousand dollars to locate settlers. Rumors allege misappropriation including cash from his wife and other creditors seeking restitution, with a U.S. marshal reportedly pursuing a fugitive. The narrative notes widespread fallout among locals, reestablishment of claims by Addle Bros. and others, and a focus on Phelan’s departure and family impact.
