This excellent and spacious hotel
with its grounds, consisting of two

was sold on Saturday at public sale,
by order of Mrs. J. G.. Isbell, admin
istratrix, with all its furniture and
fixtures, for Sa4,7oo. A large mum.
Der of people were present at the
sale, but the bidders were all outside
parties. The most prominent ones
were Charles Mertz, of Lafayette,
Ind, John J. Benson, of Rhode
Island, c. II. Frain, of Corunna and
Jacob Aberle, of Owosso. The sale
was started at bid of SIG, 800, and
ran up very rapidly until it reached
$4,000, when there was some hest
tation, and the bids were then drop
ped to hundreds, dropping in slowly
until they reached the figure of $24,-
100, when they stopped, and the
property was struck off to Mr..
Aberle, who will take possession in
few days. 1t is the intention of
the gentleman to introduce several
modern improvements-steam heat
ing, electric lights, etc.-and to fur
nish and repair the building in first
class style. Mr.. Aberle is an old
and successful landlord, but has not
been engaged in that business for the
past fifteen years. He will, however,
associate with him Charles Jewell, a
former proprietor Of the Cook house

the cloth, eight inches inside each cushion,
and extending from end TO end and side to
side, crossing at the corners and forming

gushing feature is that not more than two
shots are by the rules permitted when both
the object balls are inside the same inter
dicted space. or. III other words, when the
balls are ''in balk." Since the two object
balls are in balk, the player may play one
counting stroke within the space, but on his
second shot he must get at least one of the
the object balls outside the line; or,
falling to do this his second stroke is a foul,
no count is allowed, and his opponent plays
on the balls as they are left subject, of
course, to the same restrictions as to the
lines. An object ball driven out of the balk
space into another and back into the space
from which it started is called by the marker
"out and in and the PLAYER then has a new
life as regards his two shots So long as he is
able to drive a ball out and back, he can
keep on playing, and he may do the same
if he can 'straddle' either ball "in balk"
and the other ball just over the line and out
of balk. In all other respects the rules are
the same as those CT the regular hree-ball
