Clinton, Dec. S.-The case of Bella c.
Kendall VS.. Patrick Dervin, which was
entered at court this morning, has eX-
cited the interest of the townspeople
generally, because of the legal inten-
lions of the parties. The plaintiff is
the owner Of an estate on Main street.
On Aug. q the place was sold at auc-
ton and was bid in by Patrick Dervin,
a well-known dealer in real estate for
$685.. Later Mr.. Dervin, after pay
ing a bonus, refused to accept the deed
and complete the contract, on the
ground that the auctioneer and owners
of the property did not fulfill the con-
ditions of the sale.
Later Mr.. Dervin entered suit against
Auctieneer John A. Grady, to recover,
and the latters property was attached
for $1,000. That action is pending on
trial.
Since then the property has had two
sales, and on the last date went to
Robert Trimble for $2100. Now comes
the owners Of the property with suit
against the prospective purchaser, Mr.
Dervin, to recover the balance of the
sum bid at the first auction and the
sale. Mr.. Dervin was seen by The
Spy man this evening, and stated that
the conditions under which he bought
the property were not complied with.
The bargain called for the posting of
500, and the remainder upon presenta-
ton of the deed, within ten days. The
deeds were not presented for several
weeks. and the breach having been
caused, Mr.. Dervin withdrew from the
bargain.
The property is one of the best
known landmarks in town, and because
Of the prominence of the parties, the
outcome Of the suit is awaited with
interest.
Bancroft & Buttrick appear for plain
tiffs and David j. Walsh for Mr. Der
vim in both actions.
The Clinton Woman's Club count
their experience this afternoon, when
they heard l.. Walter Sargent talk on
Art in the public schools" one of the
pleasantest experiences in the history
of their organization.
There was nearly a full attendance
of the club present at o'clock. when
the lecture began, augmented by the
teachers and their friends. Mr.. Sargent
spoke glowingly of the broadening re-
suits of the work in drawing on the
minds of children in the public schools.
He regretted that too often the child
and the beautiful walked side by side
through all of a child life, without once
meeting.
He also spoke Of the practical side of
the work in drawing. He told how it
made better mechanics of the men of
the future, fitting them to do better
work and take higher positions.
The interest of the occasion was aug
mented by a concert given by the Clin-
ton High School Glee Club, assisted by
chorus from the eighth and ninth
grades, the pupils Of Miss Abbie Dane
and Miss Hannah Walsh.
The glee club sang with wonderful
precision, "Oh, Italia, Italia from the
opera of 'Lucretia." The chorus rem
dered two selections. The Workers
song of rest" is a particularly meri-
torious one This is one of the seleo-
tons from THE American Music Book"
recently introduced into the school.
The concert was under the direction
Of Miss Isabel A. Holland, who has
charge of the music in all the schools
in Clinton. The teachers said that the
result of her training was directly per-
ceptible in the high character of the
work done by her pupils.
