The buyer of a scenic property in northern Wisconsin will get more than just its bar and restaurant: They'll have a former hideout of Chicago mobster Al Capone. The 407-acre wooded site, complete with guard towers and a stone house with 18-inch-thick walls, goes on the auction block this month at a starting bid of $2.6 million. The bank that foreclosed on the land near Couderay, about 140 miles northeast of Minneapolis, said Capone owned it in the late 1920s and early 1930s during Prohibition.
