About month ago an offer was made for
piece of improved property in the Nineteenth
ward, involving about SIS, 900. The owner was
willing to sell and was ready to sign the deed,
but when he approached his wife on the subject

the sale. The would-be buyer then gave the

in the meantime the buyer had changed his

is still unsold. and its disposition is now
strictly family affair, with which the public
let fall.
