JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
Sale by Deputy Sheriff, Ferber Yes
terday Morning-Birthday Party.
Personal News.

About a month ago an execution was
issued in the case of George 8. Dunn
against William Huntepings and placed
in the hands Of the sheriff, who made
a levy on defendants property and ad-
vertised the sale to take place on
March IL at Q a. m. Tax Collector Sey-
mour also levied on a portion Of the
goods for taxes for 1899 and advertised
the sale to take place on March IL at
o'clock in the afternoon. The latter
sale took place at the time mentioned
and Deputy Sheriff Ferber came up
with the plaintiff and his attorney, H.
D. Carey, the following morning to
conduct the sale of the goods levied
upon on February /. After disposing
Of the property in the house they went
to the barn to sell the carriage and
lumber wagon and to their surprise
found both gone. On inquiry they
learned the things had been disposed
of as already mentioned. The deputy
sheriff thereupon adjourned the sale
until yesterday morning and then noti-
fled the tax collector to have the prop-
erty returned and placed in the barn
before the time for the adjourned sale.
1t Is thought the tax collector did not
know of the sheriff's previous levy and
when informed by the sheriff he had
the property returned. The latter
came to town again yesterday morn
ing and disposed of the wagon and
carriage at the time mentioned. G. s.
Dunn purchased the wagon for s15 and
c. u. Winter the carriage for $12.
