AUcrIoSEERs TAKE NorIcR-We clip the
following from the Liberty Banner, Frederick
county We understand that our County
Court last week decided point that particu-
larly interests the auctioneer, the bidder and
the person making the sale. The case was
this; A farm was ''knocked down. to bid
der, who afterwards refused to comply with
the terms because no one but the anctioneer
bid against him. The witness testified that
the purchasers statement was correct, and
the Court declared the sale fraudulent one
and not valid. The substance of this decision
is, in plain words, that an auctioneer has no
night to "run up property on abidder simply
to make good sale.
FATAL BURSIxG.-0n Tuesday night Henry
Hiner, Of Taneytown, was seriously, if not
fatally burned. He was in one Of the hotels,
and at closing time the proprietor requested
him to go to bed, but he said he preferred
sleeping on the floor in front of the fireplace.
Sometime during the night his clothes took
fire and before assistance could reach him he
was in flames. DR.. Birnie was sent for, who
rendered the necessary medical attention,
but without avail, as we learn his injury was
such that he died shortly after. The hotel
floor was on FIRE also, and the building made
narrow escape from destruction.
