H. (Cyclone) Hanson were the chief contestants against Sugg. An unique feature of the auction was that Jones was unable to appear in person, high water having marooned him on the creeks. He was enabled to take an active part, how ever. through the installation of lele- phone in the hall in such manner that he was able to hear what was going on. In this manner Mr. Jones helped to run the bids up from $1.O0 to the price at which it was disposed of tC Mir. Sugg.
