Arranged by her executor, Wesley Fogle, the sale took place on Friday, May 29. Like the festive outings to the farm that had become known as “Gunness Sundays,” the event drew an enormous crowd—as many as five thousand people, according to some estimates. By the time the auction ended, every item had been snapped up, bidders paying as much as ten times the original cost for the privilege of owning one of the Female Bluebeard’s kitchen utensils or gardening tools. Belle’s border collie, Prince, and her children’s pony fetched the highest prices: $107 and $205, respectively. Both animals—along with two chickens, an old house cat and her kittens, and a few miscellaneous relics—were purchased by a huckster named W. W. Hans, who put them on display at Chicago’s Luna Park.[5]
