In Menlo Park California May 19 an auction of items from the Linden Towers estate of James C Flood sees treasures valued at fortunes sell for mere five cents on the dollar. Auctioneer H Taylor Curtiss says many pieces are too young for antique status yet too old for modern design. The grand painting by Garibaldi valued at 4000 to 5000 pounds reportedly sold for 845. Rugs and furniture attract the bulk of bidders as crowds tour the 42 room residence.
