man either by birth or acquired
training, although in every article Of
his attire he evidently had tried to
copy the clothing of well-bred and
well-dressed men. But to any
experienced eye the palpable fact
that he knew nothing of correct
dress or of the simplest rules of
breeding was apparent through the
veneered exterior of his very COM
mon wood.
He was man of perhaps 40 years,
of little more than medium height,
somewhat stocki1y built, yet with no
suspicion of fat anywhere about
him. In fact he gave me the i'm
preston of having a reserve force
of physical vigor stored about him,
although his sallow complexion and
deep-set eyes seemed to contradict
this. There was nothing out Of the
ordinary about his looks except for
his unusually large feet, which gave
me an unpleasant impression of
fallen arches, and curious looking
scar at one corner of his eye, ex-

The beautiful court house, built in

which could not be built today for

masses of twisted steel, revealing
the charred remains of the records
of the county. Adding machines,

up in the corridors and the debris
shoveled and swept into corners.
All the 1918 county tax records
and the 1918 and 1919 city tax rec
ords were destroyed in the treas
urer's office. The "scavenger tax"
records were burned. These are the
lists of property on which taxes
have been overdue for years.
The sale Of this property next
