The Trescott Property.

The right of redemption on the Tres
colt property on Central street was
sold Tuesday at auction. George Ran
ney was the only bidder and the right
was sold to him for $25. Judge PO-
land holds mortgage on the proper
ty of 1894, which covers the two
barns and the land between the Meth
odist parsonage and Summer street.
The skating rink stands on this land,
the owners of the rink holding u lease
which has something over two years
to run. The barns alone are said to
have cost more than the amount of the
mortgage, and it would seem as though
Mr.. Ranney ought to get his $25 and
something more out of his trade. The
whole business forms another chapter,
a sort of sequel, in the st. JOhnsbury
house syndicate affair, as this property
was included in the st. Johnsbury
house purchase. AS the skating rink
is also subject to litigation at present,
there seems likely that business will
be lively in that quarter for some time
to come.

The Oakland Property.

The Evening Journal has the fol-
lowing relative to Minneapolis prop
erty. Messrs. Geo. M. Bennett and F.
G.. Burke being the attorneys for the
plaintiff. 1t will be seen that the
plaintiffs have gained very materi-
al point in their favor, in court:
The Oakland property case was before
Judge Lochren again this morning on a de-
murr,r to the defendants answer. Two
months ago the plaintiffs demurred to the
defendants answer, and after argument the
demurrer was sustained, Leave was given
to the defe adant to make an amended an
swer. This amended answer was made by
the defendants, to portion of which the
plaintiffs again demurred. This phase
was argued before Judge Lochren today.
The court said he did not desire to hear any
al gument upon it from the counsel for the
plaintif, but that he would hear counsel for
the defendant If desired. Messrs. Woods &
Savage, for the defendants, were present,
and Mr.. Savage argued in opposition to the
demurrer at considerable length, bat
the court sustained the demurrer, stat
ing that the mortgage being dead at
the time of the foreclosure proceedings
compl aimed of that the act of R. Is. Galus-
sha in pretending to foreclose the mortgage
was false and an absolute nuliity, through
which neither Galusha, the purchaser at the
foreclosure sale in 1870. nor the defendant
who claimed title through him, acquired
any rights in the pre- erty whatever by rea-
son thereof
The court has virtually decided that the
plaintiffs are the legal owners of the prop
erty.
The property in question consists of 1859
lots in Oakland and Silver Lake additions,
