Gently disposed of his equity of redemption
10 Banning Bros, who, succeeding TO ms

the full ownership OF the Banning Bros.
The only others who will have any right
are an English syndicate VINO hold a
contract for the purchase OF the island from
Mr.. ShattO for 100000. No trouble IS an
ticipated in regard to them. however, since
they have tailed to make good the contract
some time ago.
