WANT A WEST SIDE SCHOOL.
Another Petition Presented to the
Board.

Some Of the west side patrons con.
tinue to insist on a school being
maintained for their benefit. A pc.
tition signed by about 25 patrons and
pledging AZ pupils was presented to
the board today. The patrons say
that they prefer a regular country
school on the west side as there are
many large boys and girls who will
not come to graded schools. A prop
osition to have a wagon chartered to
bring pupils in every morning was
refused, and the board will probably
give the matter serious consideration.
The attendance on west side last
spring was less than dozen pupils.

SELLING FOR 4 SONG.
BOOM TINE PROPERTY BRINGS
THRILLING PRICES.


A striking commentary on the
leeting character Of worldly things
was the sale Of the real estate OF
Lebold, Fisher 4 Co. in the district
clerks office Tuesday, conducted by
Assignee John Johntz with J. Z.
Johntz as clerk. The day was de-
voted to Abilene property chiefly,
consisting Of those boom addition lots
which loomed up so gorgeously on
blue plats in the middle SOS. They
were the lots in which investors saw
promises Of future wealth and
competence; which were mortgaged
to our eastern sisters, cousins and
aunts with a prodigality born Of the
knowledge that there were more
farms to lay out in additions when
these were gone, Those in attend
ance were a jolly crowd and included
the old-timers like Case, Sterl,
Jewett, Campbell, Stambaugh, Hurd,
Kirby, Mahan, Mead and the rest Of
the boys who long ago forgot the SER
ious side Of the boom and now recall
only the funny features.
1t was no trick at all to become
land owner and taxpayer. Clear
titles are warranted for all properties.
George Sterl bought three lots in
Highland Park, appraised after the
assignment in 1889 at $ll5, for 1925
each. Give got one lot there that
cost me $780," remarked Campbell
sadly.
J. P. Campbell bought big slice
Of Central Park for $22.50 an acre, ap-
praised at $40 to SIS a lot of 40x140
feet.
J. H. Mahan bought for $27 four
lots in Thompson & McCoy's addition,
appraised at 5000.
J. P. Campbell took 10 lots in
Central Park, appraised at 1915 for
$40.
A string Of lots in Fishers addition
appraised at 1925 to $3.50 each went
to I. Kirby and J. P. Campbell for
from "a to $3.50; seven other lots
valued at 800 went for $3.50.
T. Kirby brought lot IL, block 8,
Abilene proper, on southside, apprais-
ed at $3.50 for g.
D. F. Shirk bought the old McCurdy
place corner West Sixth and Null
berry for $247.
The first lot south Of Lutheran
church was sold to G. c. Sterl for
$25.
Three lots on Spruce, south Of
Etherington's livery brought $26 to
1856 each. Lots on Buckeye between
Srd and 4th, same block, brought $l6
to $25.
D. F. Shirk bought so acres north Of
Russell, $25 taxes due, for $14
The Lebold.F Fisher sale of real es-
tate was adjourned last evening until
Sept. 2S when it will be resumed and
all remaining lands in the hands Of
the assignee sold.
