WHAT IS 'SHOGK"
TO CONSCIENCE"

What is the percentage of deprecia-
ton which should SHOCK the con-
science" in a property sale? This
question ought to be determined by
the courts, according to what has hap
pened to the Roe estate.
A few weeks ago two residence prop
critics in that estate were sold by
James F. Morgan at auction under an
order of the probate court. 1t was an
unlucky day for city property and the
prices at which the lots were sold
were so low that William Savidge, adj
ministrator, requested the court not to
confirm the sales. A certified check
was offered in evidence of a tender,
after the sale, of $500 more than the
auction price for one of the properties
this being the former residence of
the late William c. Roe-which price
was S1O1O
Judge Robinson held, under judicial
decisions of Hawaii, that where the
sale was well advertised and there
was nothing irregular about it's con-
duct, the highest bidder was entitled
to the property unless the price was
50 inadequate as to "shock the con-
science"
Mr.. Morgan has just resold the prop.
erty at private sale to Martin Moser
for $4,000, or 1890 more than the gross
amount received for it at the judicial
sale. Whether the conscience" is
shocked or not, the Roe estate sus
tains jolt of nearly thousand dol
lars voltage.

Before the sale Mr.. Butler showed
a safe full of stuff, part of the dead

Each ESTATE" was neatly done up in
a package and labeled with the name
oof the dead man, if known, and the
time and place of his decease.
"One gifted with the genius of
Sherlock Hoolmes," he said, might
be able to tell great deal about the
history and personality of many of
these poor fellows. Now, here is a
man, J. D. Garner by name.

household goods with him in the

how the conclusion is reached"
He showed bundle that contained
lot of silvtrware, knives, forks and
such other table stuff, a Confederate
bond for $1,000, two Confederate bills

Small doubt" he continued, "bu;
that Garner, who died in Panama
three years ago, treasured these
things as souvenirs Of the lost cause
and evidently treasured these things
above all else, for he left but little
other property"
One of the most interesting of the
CHESTS" shown by Mr.. Butler was
that of Patrick Dowd, who years age
died in the heart of the Andes, ia,
above La Paz, Bolivia, which is itsel
far up in the Andes.
