SALE OF SOME McCOY ASSETS

Saturday afternoon was the time set by Trustee Chapman for receiving public bids for the still unsettled claims he holds in the various McCoy estates. The people were not tumbling over themselves to get to buyv these claims and when the sale opened at Mr. Chapman’s office there were hot more than six or seven persons present. One of these was Jack Hudson, of sonthwest Jordan, who renewed his previous private bid of $25 for notes of Hartley Brothers of Goodland, amounting to about $1,600. No better ijid was received .and the lot was knocked off to him at that price. They surely went at a bargain counter price. A debt of $25 against Davy . .Warner and G. W. Goft was sold Id the latter for $lO. It seems tnat Davy, now no longer here, was the party who got the money, and he claimed that he did painting for Tom to more than pay it, but Tom never credited him with his work. There were a few bids made for the Binehart debts of about $7,000 in the aggregate. Mose Tuteur bid ten dents lor the job lot, Bay Thompson $5 and A rthur Hopkins SSO. There was no raise above this bid and the Trustee said be would consider it later and might accept it One or two other small lots were offered small sums for and the Trustee then adjourned the sale, announcing that he would receive bids for any or all of the unsold debts at any time.
