thousand dollars found that II had
been taken from him by a local attor-
ney, who bought a delinquent tax title
for $685.. To make the matter worse.
the old man was sure that he had paid
all his taxes and II was partly the
fault OF the sherifs Office that the
one year was allowed to become do
inquent.
ON receiving notification from the
sheriff. the old man sent his sonln.
law with instructions to pay all taxes
due on the property. and the son-in-
law made his request in this form nc
the Office. He paid all the hills which
were found against the property. and
the old man had no thought OF any
