The bids on the balance of the
Ackmann insolvency estate we're
opened yesterday by Assignee Aune,
and Mrs. H, G. Ackmann was found
to be the highest bidder. Her bid
was 1927. Only one other bid was
offered. This bid was by H. A. Pat
terson, brother of E. G. Patterson, who
offered to pay $203 for the stock. The
remaining stock was considered worth
about 5000, and the probabilities are
that Judge Weber will not confirm
the sale to Mrs. Ackmann. Mr.. Aune
states that he was offered about $500
for the cigars and few other things
in the store alone before opening the
bids yesterday.
