On Wednesday of last week large crowd
from various parts of Washington and the
adjoining counties attended the Public Ad-
m illustrators sale of the personal property of
Frank Henslee. deceased, at his late resi-
dence on the old Shores place, near Palmer,
Mo. Quite a number of farmers went to
the sale expecting to purchase wheat for
seed. but they were disappointed all the
new wheat advertised to be sold, was, 1t is
claimed, ordered 10 be sold privately. The
entire lot, 49, bushels, was purchased by
Mr.. Bergman, of Bergman, Mo, for Il
cents per bushe!. The terms of the sale
were cash in hand; hence some Of the arti-
cles sold for less than their appraised value.
The proceeds of the sale amounted to be-
tween $500 and 500. Fifteen head Of fine
sheep were sold to Mr.. Thos. o, Hudson, of
Lost Greek, for $40. Most of the corn and
hay was hidden in by Mr.. T. f. Bount, who,
it is thought, Vas acting agent for the Pal
