IaiAFLE LEAF AGAIN. , Union Pacific Surely Has tho System This, Time. 2 CHICAGO. Nov. 25. The report that the k Union Pacific has purchased tho Chicago Great Western was reiterated this after- A noon with such positlveness and clrcum-; clrcum-; & 6tantlal evidence in Its favor that It reft re-ft celled general acceptance. The deal which has been pending for some time was said to have been closed, and tho Chicago I Great Western will short'..' loan its Idcn-k Idcn-k tlly as an independent rorul and either K he wholly absorbed by thc Union Paciflo M- Itself or distributed piece r.il among the I B western connections of th:-. system. S Si One report has It that the Chicago Great J Western will be divided between tho Chl-I Chl-I cago &. Northwestern aw1, the Chicago, ft Milwaukee & SL Paul s stems, both of 3 which, have for several years been close s connections of the Union Pacific. Tho j Northwestern. It Is said, will take that J portion of tho Maple Leaf which runs from Marshall town, la., to Kansas City. J nnd the Milwaukee Si St. Paul will tako R the SL Paul end of the Hue. P. There is another view of tho case, how- a ever which 13 that the Union Pacific will t keep the Maple Leaf and operate' It as tho eastern end of Its own system. It J will, It Is declared, give tho Union Pa- J clflc a very good outlet from Omaha to 3 Chicago and the short lino from Omaha K to St. Paul. It!
