GRANTED THE JUDGMENT.
Judge Kelly Quickly Disposes of a
MORTGAGE Case


A defense was interposed in foreclosure
suit tried before Judge Kelly yesterday, that
met with emphatic encouragement at the
hands of the court. The case was that of
Anna E. l. Won Hemert against Oscar l..
Taylor and Nora w. Taylor his wife, and
others to foreclose a mortgage for $40 COO
covering certain lots in st. Paul property.
Oscar L. Taylor and his wife, Nora w. Tay-
Trust company on March q, 1890, and the
st. Paul Trust company on the same day
assigned the mortgage to the plaintiff. The
mortgage was dated March q, 1890, and was
payable in five years.
Oscar l.. Taylor failed to answer the COM
plant, and Judgment was ordered against
him by default.
But Mrs. Taylor interposed the following
defense She declares that before she Joined
with her husband in executing the mortgage
on the property known as the south 100 feet
of lots u and 10, block II, st. Paul proper,
she owned one-third OF the property, alb
solutely having purchased 1t with her own
money. Continuing. Mrs. Taylor's answer
alleged that Oscar L. Taylor borrowed $40-
Trust company and gave his note therefor.
On March q, $780, in order to secure that
note, Mr.. Taylor and his wife executed the
mortgage mentioned.
But Mrs. Taylor further declares that she
Joined in executing the mortgage only as a
surety for the payment of her husband S
note, and not otherwise. She also alleges
that the st. Paul Trust company as well as
Its assignee, the plaintiff, well knew this to
be the case.
Continuing, Mrs. Taylor alleged in her an
swer that on March q, 1895, when her hus-
bands promissory note matured the plaintiff.
Mrs Hemert, and Oscar L. Taylor, without
Mrs. Taylor's knowledge or consent, entered
Into an agreement, whereby for a valuable
consideration the time of the payment of
the note was extended one year, to March 81
1896. She also alleged that Oscar L. Taylor
paid some money to the plaintiff for granting
the extension; Mrs. Taylor therefore asked
the court to decree the mortgage wholly void
| as to her and her one-third of the prop
erty.
After hearing testimony from which it ap-
peared that neither the plaintiff nor the St
Paul Trust company knew that Mrs. Taylor
| signed the mortgage as a surety and that nc
| consideration had passed for granting the ex-
| tension of time the court granted the mo-
| ton of the plaintiff for judgment against the
defendant, Nora w. Taylor.

The ST. Paul Trust company began an ac-
ton in the district court yesterday against
the Village of North St. Paul to recover the
sum Of S3,262.50 alleged to be due on a con-
tract for the payment of rent for water hy-
drants. The contract was originally made
between North st. Paul and the North St.
Paul Water Light and Power company, which
assigned it to the plaintiff as part security
for guaranteeing certain bonds of the water
company.
In 1883 the village of North st. Paul wanted
from issuing any bonds, the village entered
into a contract with the North st. Paul Wa
ter, Power and Light company whereby the
latter company agreed to construct a plant
on condition that the village of North st. Paul
would rent twenty street hydrants for a term
CT twenty years at an annual rental of $125

sued bonds for $25,0 0O which bonds were
