emily worth S6S, 900. Whether this is

year ago for $4,000. He also disposed
OF his yacht. The Gardenia, to Mr.
Rutherford, and is understood to have
received a payment Of $4,000 on ac'
count. What. If any amount remains
due, is not known.
An orange grove on Hypoluxo ISL
and. Lake Worth, Florida, was
bought by Elwell for $4,000 som'
time ago from l.. II. Green or New
York and paid 5000 cash, Mr. Greer
