"OLD HOSS" SALE JULY 18.
Police Will Auction Confiscated
Goods at City Hall.
On July 18 there will take place in a shady spot on the north side of police headquarters an event that is very interesting and is always looked forward to by many wise ones who are seeking great profit out of small investments. The event is called the "old hoss" sale. It means that on that day there will be auctioned off to the highest bidder all of the uncalled for and confiscated property on hand, and many thing known to have been stolen but for which owners were never found. As usual, Detective Thomas Hayde, who for years has acted as auctioneer, will do the honors again at the coming sale. The last "old hoss" sale was in October, 1906.
To give an idea of what will be on hand at this sale Captain Frank Snow, property clerk, has given out that he has watches and jewelry, tools of all kinds, many revolvers and knives of every make on the globe. In the clothing line he will have everything from workmen's overalls and jumpers to a swell dress suit which is silk lined.
Any man who has a horse and no harness would do well to visit the "old hoss" sale, as there are several sets of good harness to be sold, both single and double. Then there are separate pairs of lines, tugs, hames, single bridles and the like.
