of Curtis Fleetwood in NanticOke hun

offered for sale, in a suit to compel
him to pay the disliked tax, and re-

ed. As not a bid was received, Con-

call the sale off, but announces he will
advertise another sale and has hopes
that there will be buyers present.
Constable Adams, who was indemni-
fed under a small bond by the Tax
Department, when his bondsmen in
sisted upon it, is said to be determin-
ed that the tax will be paid. Unless
Fleetwood, who is a farmer and a
member Of the Republican County
Committee, pays the tax with costs,
the constable proposes to continue to
levy on his personal property and to
put it up at public sale until the
amount is collected. Fleetwood de-
clares he will not pay the tax and
will take the matter before the high

the payment of three dollars which
must be paid with the filing of an in
