SOLD MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

James Lister was arrested last Friday for selling mortgaged property, and was released on his personal bond to await trial. He skipped out before the hour set for his trial, however, and has not as yet put in an appearance. It seems that Lister had given the Geiser Manufacturing Co., from whom he had purchased a thresher outfit some years ago, a chattel mortgage covering a couple of horses which: he later sold, one to David Elder of near Parr, and the other to Wji, J .Piatt. Some days ago the thresher people came here looked up the horses and took themfzom the people who had bought them from Lister, and Elder’Caused the latter’s arrest.
