Letter to John Younkins.
Butler. Pa.
Dear Sir: Here's what "wears longer'
means.
D. T. McGown, Cooperstown, N. Y.
built a house in 'BS and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later, a neighbor built
a house and painted it with lead and
oil. The neighbor's house was repaint
ed twice in the same time.
This looks as if the neighbors house
was painted three times in eight or
nine years, and McGowns once in ten
years. We are not quite sure—we tell
the tale as it comes to ns.
It is enough to say that Devoe Lead
and zinc lasts twice as long as long lead
and oil alone The reason is: white
lead is soft and c halks off: zinc is hard
and when thoroughly ground into the
lea'l prevents, its chalking and
makes it more durable.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.,
14 New York.
P. S. Patterson Bros, sell our paint.

One of the most interesting cases be
fore local Courts for some time was the
ejectment suit of Victor B. Walker vs
John Bergbigler, in which Judge
Thomas, Tuesday, ordered the jury to
render a verdict for the deft. In 1878
Samuel S Crawford owned two lots on
Third St. Butler. Crawford became
insolvent and assigned to J. V. Ritts
for the benefit of creditors The taxes
on the two lots for that year were
never paid, although demand was made
on Crawford, and the lots were sold at
Treasurer's sale to the County Com
missioners. In 1902 the Commissioners
sold them to Victor Walker at Com
missioners' sale for sl.
In the meantime Ritts. as assignee
sold the lots and they changed owners
several times until Rev. J. W. Davis
bought ony of them, borrowed SI2OO
from Bergbigler and built a honse
Davis failed in his payments and Berg
bigler was forced to take the property
at Sheriff's Sale to save himself. After
obtaining a deed from the Commission
ers, Walker began his action of eject
uient. and proved a perfect title in the
County according to all the require
ments of law. but they sold the premises
for #l, whereas the law requires that
thev must not sell for less than the
amount of the for which they
were forced to take the property. On
this one point their sale was declared
invalid and the verdict given for the
defendant, who is in possession. The
question now is. does the County or
Bergbigler own the property, or. Berg
bigler never having a legal title and the
County Commissioners having given a
deed for theirs, does no one own the
land?
