inquiry regarding the transfer OF a
piece of land in this county.
He looked twice at the letter, be-
lieving that he had gotten hold Of a
Bible that someone had left in the
Office. However. the description In
question at once convinced hinu that ii
was Cass county land in question and
not some section in the environs OF
Jerusalem, or a Little Bit OF
Heaven"
But it wasn't the description that
aroused his curiosity and gave him the
impression that he was reading some
long-forgotten chapter from the Bible.

toned in the letter. The man who
was making the inquiry was named
