Leflang, the former banker of Lexington, having already invested over $400,000 in Omaha real estate, has nov bought the site of the Budweiser saloon on Douglas street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth. In June Tom Dennison sold this building 30 Sol Brodkey for $2,000, and Tuesday Mr. Leflang bought it from Brodkey for $36,000.

' The Bolln block near Six- teenth and Cass streets was bought three years ago for $20,000, and during the last ten days Mr. Leflang has refused $30,000 for it. The three-story block at Seventeenth and Cuming streets was bought four years ago for $13,600, and yebterday Mr. Leflang re- fused $26,000 cash for it.
