changed hands. The Hess farm no
sooner changed title than it was trans
ferred to other ownership. When Mr..
Hess became possessed of the Chicago
realty he awoke to the fact that he
had been sold out and had no real
title. The fiat buildings were claimed
by mortgages upon which many thOus-
and dollars interest we're due, when
transfer of title was effected, and Mr..
Hess was literally wiped OFF the map,
He had not a sou marqlis to show
for his fertile acres out in Iowa.
