Inside was placed a profusion of Austrian hand-tufted carpets, tapestries, urns, silverware, china, pictures, bric-a-brac, chandeliers, for which Mr. Long paid $207,763.57. There were Oriental rugs in every bathroom. House and contents were listed on his personal ledger as an $11 asset. Last week more than 1,000 Kansas Citizens gratified a long-cherished ambition to see the inside of the Long house. Up for auction was everything Lumberman Long possessed except the sets of Dickens, Eliot and Bulwer...
