NEW cATH0Lic SCHOOL FOR FRESNO. Handsome Property Sought 6y Sisters of
 the Holy Cross

FRESNO, Jan. 6-The Sisters of the Holy Cross who conduct the St. Angus tine Academy in this city have pur- chased the handsome residence prop erty of William M. Williams at the corner of R and Mariposa streets for the purpose of establishing the Catholic school there. The deal was consum- mated to-day. The area of the ground is 150 by 150 feet
 The thirteen-room residence will be used as the dormitory and a comno- dious school building will be erected adjoining. The academy is at present occupying a two-story frame structure next to the Catholic church, but the school has grown so that the present quarters are much too small. Last summer the Catholics purchased prom erty on N street, and just after the buildings had been erected they were destroyed by fire.
