B. S. FENDIG TRADES FOR THE NOWLES HOUSE.

R. A, Minks of Dewey, HL, was here last week for the purpose of disposing of bis equity in the Nowels hotel property. After failure to “dicker” with parties whom he came personally to see, he made a deal, with B. 8. Fendig, the poultry and junk dealer, in which 40 acres of land west of Fair Oaks was traded in. A contract was entered into and a check for SSOO put up by Ben as a forfeit, while Minks agrees in the contract to forfeit a like amount if be goes back on the trade. However, just previous to returning home, the latter informed Ben that he would not go ahead with his part of the contract, so there is no telling bow the matter will terminate. In the event of Ben’s securing the property he will probably trade it off again, and not go ahead and remodel the building, ae has been reported, at least not for some time to oome.
