The sale of the Sanders farm of 800
acres at s24,600. has acquired more than
ordinary news value. At least three
agents are claiming a commission. The
Sanders deal seems to have been ar
ranged so as to get the benefit Of the
assistance Of all the agents, without
any commissions at all.
Another large deal in land has just
been made. About one year ago. it will
be recalled, the Averill farm Of 500
acres. five miles northeast of town,
changed hands, Chicago parties getting
it. They sold it to one Wynn at around
$50. He sold in July to S. e. Sweet of
Belle PLANE, and a Mr.. Wooster of Vim
ton, consideration said to be $35. They
put it into Mr.. Norris hands to manage,
and Mr.. Norris, contemplating trip to
the Pacific coast, placed 1t in the hands
OF q competent agent. When he re-
turned he found contracts executed for
GAO acres. Frank Abel gets 800 acres
with buildings on at $45. A party whose
name liz not given gets the northeast
not given, gets the southwest quarter
at SAL. This is rolling blue grass land
such as sold not many years ago at $40.
1t Is proper to add that both buyers and
sellers recognized their agents in the
transaction.
Jake Muckler, whose case was contin-
ued from Saturday till Monday, got $40
and costs in the mayors court for

peal will be taken. Jake swears he was
not drunk. Nobody who knows Jake
would question his word for moment,
but then no gentleman" likes to admit
he was drunk.
The war between the Herald and Ca
zette goes merrily on. Few people know
what they are making mouths at each
other about, but everybody reads the
papers and that is more than could have
been said month ago. 1t is probable
that Ray and Patton have an UNDER
standing. Meanwhile that bad man
Munger still wears his uniform and a
exs smile with It, Really, we are coming
to think Munger Is not a bad fellow.
