     Lien



     I, JOHN H. EVANS, being justly indebted to W. S. WISDOM in a note

     due 25th December 1856 for one hundred and ten dollars, also one

     other given today and due on the 1st day of February 1859 and

     feeling anxious and desirous to secure the said WISDOM in the said

     sums of money due and owing as aforesaid. I have this day bargained,

     sold, and delivered to the said WISDOM the following property, say:

     >  One Iron Gray Jack about four years last Spring, and >  One yoke

     of work oxen, one a brindle and the other >  One half or an equal

     share in a 2-horse wagon now at Bennett's Shop >  One dun heifer,

     three years old >  One clock



     To have and to hold the aforesaid property to the only use and

     benefit of him the said WISDOM, his heirs and assigns forever.



     It is further agreed and understood between the parties, said WISDOM

     and myself, that all the above named property be and remain in my

     possession until the first day of February 1859, and, if I fail to

     pay and fully satisfy these notes by that time, I hereby authorize

     the said WISDOM or his representatives to take all of the said

     property into his possession and sell the same to the highest bidder

     for cash after giving ten days' notice.  If it brings more than I

     may be owing on the said notes, I am to have it, but, if less, it

     goes to my credit.



     Given under my hand and seal this 9th day January 1858. J. H. Evans
