lection through a local jewelry house.
That was twenty years ago. Since then
it has been the subject Of almost con-
stant litigation.
Among the jewelry IN the collection
was belt. valued at 5000. which was
the only one Of the kind IN the world.
IL was made in almost perfect imIta-
ton Of big snake and was OF 1S-karat
gold.
The collection was rqwned with the
First National Bank of this city,
through Herman Powell, to secure a
note for $4,000 owing Powell by the
Tabor estate. It was sold by Powell
10 satisfy the note and in that way
got into the vaults Of the bank. Efforts
were made TO sell the gems privately
through commission appointed for
that purpose. This resulted in suits be-
ing brought in court TO have them sold
ar auction.
Driven to Penury.
The Tabor estate at that time was
considerably in debt and the widow was
meeting with the first Of the reverses
which finally completely engulfed her.
The popularity OF the late Senator
caused steps TO be taken by his friends
three years ago 10 settle the claims.
Mrs. Tabor was enabled 10 retain the
jewels One year ago she was in want
and she pawned them with the Cont
mental Trust Company. TO secure q loan
Of $3.50. This loan she was unable 10
take up. and the present sale followed.

Tabor family was presented when the
sale was over. An elderly gray-haired
