known as the Theodore Green prop
erty, but now owned by Mr.. +. NJ.
Campbell, OF Butler, Missouri, has
been consigned to the Carolina Land
Development Co. OF Kansas City to
be divided and sold at public auc-
ton on April ?.
This method for the sale of farm
land is new in this section, but we
are told that it has been very popu-
lar in Kansas and parts OF Missouri
in the last few years, and we see no
reason why the good people OF our
county should not avail themselves
of this opportunity to get farm at
their own price.
We understand that this farm has
been divided in ten tracts of so
acres and up and each tract to be
sold on the date of the sale.
Among other features of this sale
conducted by this Company is big
free dinner served on the ground to
all who attend.

Robert Ooln Lynard, negro dandy
who were a Palm Beach suit, white
shoes, silk shirt and q Panama hat,
WAS arrested as a burglar last night
soon after he had answered an adyer-
tlserlent for an elevator operator at
$50 West l58th Street The odvcrtise-
ment was inserted by the police, who
hoped to lure a burglar whom they
credit with more than forty inside
jobs"
They snapect they have him in Rob
ert Oolin Lynard lie has admitted
some Of tho burglaries. according to
lice Station, where he was licked up,
and jewelry and silvcrware which the
police appraised at about $4,000 were
found il his room at 161 West 14Oth
Street. The negro, for whose special
benefit the police inserted their adver-
tisement yesterday, frequently present
ed credentials to show he had fought
in France. He never remained in an
apartment house longer than was
necessary to find out what apartments
we're empty at the tine and to loot
them.

When Robert Oolin Lynard applied
for the advertised job yesterday De
tectivc Sergeant James Mccormack.
who was playing the role Of janitor, did
rot ask for references. a glance at
the Tagniiiccnce of Robert Oolin Lyn-
ards attire convinced him that the ap-
pIicant was worth taking a chance on.
According to Mccormack, the negro
had scarcely settled himself at the
switchboard before he began calling
the various apartments in the house,
apparently with the purpose of ascer-
tanning what tenants were out. He
was still at it, the detective said, when
Mrs. Natalie Fcrelstcd, one Of the ten
ants, went out, leaving with the new
and refuigent elevator operator the KEY
to her apartment to be delivered to her
aunt, should she cali in her absence.
The switchboard ceased to interest
Robert OoIn Lynard. He entered thu
elevator and ascendcd to Mrs. Ferel-
Mccormack, followed by Detectives
Dnggan and Doyle. They waited on
the stairs, they said, until Lynard had
entered the apartment. Then they tip
toed into the place and discovered him,

not even reviie his lucl, at being ar
rested, remarking merely that he had
led them merry chase The last lap
of the chase waa to Lynard's room,
where, beside the silver and jewelry,
the police say, thoy found fifty-eight
pawn tickets, 150 assorted keys and
twenty-five walking sticks. The detec-
tives were told by Lynard, they said,
that he used the sticks for promenades
on Lenox Avenue when he had nothing
better to occupy his attention and liked
to sport different one every time.
Robert Oolin Lynard's fancy in
names was almost as exquisite AS IN
walking sticks, the detectives declared,
saying that he had given them list
Of several aliases, specifying as those
