real estate of the late Loren Bosworth
drew large crowd of buyers. Sales
aggregating $4,000 were consum-
mated. Three pieces of timber land,
which had been appraised at $3.50,
$500 and 50, 500, brought respective

amusing feature was when the piece
appraised at $3.50 was bid up to
81, 100 and struck off to the Chaffee

up again, when it was run up to
81, 400 and struck off to the competi-

congratulated by several at not get
