The report of the sale of the real
estate shows that the land went for a
mere song. f. G. Swift bought eighty
acres in Section 6, Township 33, for
$3.50. The east half of the southeast
quarter Of Section 6, Township 33,
went to r. G. Allen for 81 per acre
G. S. Cullen bought forty acres in the
southwest half Of Section 5, Township
"a, for 81 per acre. In the report the
assignee recommends that the same
be not approved. He holds that the
land is worth from $50 to $50 an acre.
further, he sold it at the highest
figure. All this real estate is heavily
mOrtgaged, hence the extremely low
bids per acre. 1t is thought $40 to $25
per acre would be good price to pay.
