BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 16, 1900 A party of five gentlemen, of Chicago, and prominent stone men, were in the city last Friday and Saturday. William COLE, the cabman, drove them over the country, and they visited all the prominent quarries and inspected large tracts of stone land with a view of purchasing. A rumor was afloat Monday that they had made Chas. QUACKENBUSH, who owns some land in the vicinity of the Consolidated Quarries, an offer of $11,000 for the tract, which was refused.
