at sheriff's sale this afternoon for $1,000.
The plant is valued at over $1O0O,0O0, and
there are 100000 membranes on it, which
is not in the least affected by the SALE The
transaction is simply a smooth business
move whereby the American Plate-glass
Company, now operating the plants, may

the sale was made was originally held by
the Big -Four Railway Company and as
signed to Evans, who brought the action.
