Of pieces Of property were sold, but for
the most part they were small in value
The number Of bidders was small and
no spirited bidding marked the sales.
Several pieces thai were offered by
the auctioneers were withdrawn, there
being no bids offered. A number Of
pieces of realty which had been adveV-
tised for sale were not put up. the
auctioaeers deciding that they could
make better money at private sales.
The only incident Of real interest TO
the persons al the sale was the precau-
ton taken by MIR. George w. owens
when bidding on property Of Mrs

auctioneer called out the bid. Mr..
owens asked if that was his bid.

times, the crowd remembered the DIFF
dculty over the last sale Of Mrs. Faw-
cetts property. The next time Mr..

was pro13ling by his former expert
ence.
