purchased the building some years ago OF
Mrs. Leichenstein, but neglected to get
a deed to the property. Mrs. McFadden
then sold the property to Mrs. Drew, and
Mrs. drew in turn disposed of the same
to Mr.. Aguayo, who turned the property
over 10 Henry Eilers for mortgaged held
ON it by him. No deed to these transac.
tions has ever passed from one of these
several parties to the other. The money
for the property.was paid by each indi.
vidual to the other, and the property
turned over to the purchaser, without a
deed. County School Superintendent
Alexander refuses to draw warrant for
the trustees to purchase this property,
unless a good and valid title can be OBJ.
tanned. and as the first party who sold
the property resides somewhere in Cali
fornia, there will probably be trouble in
securing title. This is good illustra-

and thus avoid all future trouble.
NOTHING will tend to reduce man
to rack and ruin quicker than evil associ.
alton. Such has proven to be the facts
the world over. As a brilliant illustra.
ton that such is the case we will present
to public gaze our young friend George
Haggerty, as pure and handsome little
Sucker as ever deserted Illinois. We
have known George for the past nine
years and have always looked upon him
as an exemplary young man, as pure as
the snow-after it has laid on the ground
several days-and whose good example
we have always followed, but he too,
psor fellow, has fallen, all owing to his
association with Rafe Barton, who
set George an evil example little over
year ago, and now George has gone and
done it too, deserving his old friends.
Good bye, old fellow, we will cease to
follow your example further, for You
have switched off on the wrong track,
and though henceforth we will be
strangers, We wish you JOY and an I'M
limited supply of twins.
