Mton Duchesne county sold thirty-on- e pieces of property t the annual auditor's tax sale Wednesday on the front steps of the courthouse at Duchesne, out cf the one thousand pieces advertised for sale. A total of $1,767.37 was realized. Clerk Arthur Goodrich stated. With the exception of two or three tracts of giazlng land, most if the transactions concerned the "edemption of land by the original wners, Mr. Goodnch stated. Two tracts of grazing land adjoining 3aibon county were purdiased by Mr. Marslng. and Mr. MUler of .bice. The property la adjacent to land already owned by them. A large number of property iwners wore present at the auc-de- n to protect their own interests In the event someone bid on their property, most of them Intending to repurchase it from the county at a later date, Mr. Goodrich said. Bidders Vie For Tract The bidding was quiet and uneventful until one partciular piece of property was presented (when two bidders vied with each other until one finally purchased a 32nd of a sqhare Inch of the land for the sum of the taxea, $97.75. The title of this piece is clouded to the xtent that the two bidders, Fred Hayes and Ray Knox, represented by Walt Hayes and Rulon J. Larsen respectively, each claims ownership. Fred Hayes, Mr. Good-rio- h explained, had at a past auditors tax sale, purchased the property, but it has since reveibed to the county for tax delinquency, Mr. Knox claims prior ownership. The entire trart. was bid in for the amount of the taxes by Mr. Larsen, then Mr. Hayes offered the same amount for a small section. d The bidding back and forth until fractions of a square inch were reached. Finally Mr. Larsen allowed it to go to Mr. Hayes, who purchased a 32nd of a square inch. Court Case Predicted The law specifies that the county must accept the highest bid for the smallest section of the tract at auction and at the same time does not allow the the county to accept more or less than the of taxes due on the entire tract. The remainder of the tract is then deeded back to the original owner. The case will have to go before the court, Mr. Goodrich said, to determine which of the two men really Is the owner, before the title can be cleared. see-sawe- United States Army Asks Horse Breeders For Quality Stock The Northwestern Remount Service of the United States Army will purchase horses in Utah, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming until June 30, Captain George R.
