Classified notice lists sale of horses and farming implements under supervision of Deahey with Neary Egan and Patton Auctioneers. Various properties including four room worker dwellings with kitchen, sheds, and plant machinery offered with terms and balances. Several large estates and farm equipment across multiple locations are advertised with viewing and bidding arrangements.
Fragmentary OCR shows a makers of a list with names and ages, urging readers to contact a number about a suspect described as wearing frocks and cream shirts. The oddly garbled text mentions Brown and Atro and a person named Pura Hoitie, with several ages given and a phone contact 276. The crude notice appears to be a police or public alert with missing context and unclear location.
