Indirectly it also caused the sale of an
eighty acre farm in Akin county, Min
nesota. altho the farm was not sold at
the sale. Eighty-five head of cattle
were listed and all sold but seven
calves which Mr.. McBeth sold the next
day. Two automobiles were put up for
sale but were bid in by the owner The
bid on each one was within $50 of
what the owner asked for the cars. One
second hand car got bid of $780, and
800 was bid on the new car; $500 and
$500 were asked for the cars. For the
next sale several car loads of stock
will be shipped in from different parts
OF the country. A car of cattle at the
last sale came from South Dakota. AS
far as we can learn everybody was sat
listed with the first sale and it is ex-
pected that the next one will be much
larger. There will be more stock and
1t is expected more miscellaneous ar
ticles.
