DE GoLYER HOUSE SALE.
Another of John Beck's Princely
Purchases.

The De Golyer residence, with its
spacious grounds, on the drive in East
Waterloo. were advertised to be sold
by the sheriff yesterday under fore
closure of a trust deed. and several
prospective bidders were on hand with
pockets wen lined. Mr. F. a. Druehl
brought his money in gold coin,, to the
extent of $4,000. in three good-sized
sacks; but, complications arising,
Sheriff Lewis postponed the sale until
today.
The foreclosure proceedings were I'M
der the terms Of a trust deed. On
April 49, 1894 Mr.. ana Mrs De Golyer
then owners of the premises, gave a
trust deed to secure a loan on a prom
issory note of $4,000 from H. W. Yates
of Omaha. Yates subsequently sold the
note to James Chapman, who now
holds it.
In 1855 De Golyer sold the house and
part of the grounds to John Beck for
$4,000, subject to the trust deed of
$4,000. After Beck secured the title
he borrowed an additional sum of $4,000
on the property from James Chapman
and gave a mortgage to secure the
loan on lots 6 to %, both inclusive, on
which the residence stands On Oct. g.
1897, Beck decided those lots to Bertha
GOSS Beck, SUBJECT 10 the lncumbrdnce,
and the title is now vested in her, while
the title to lots l, ., 3, 4, ;, SO and "a
are still in Mrs. De Golyer.
1t was in foreclosure Of the incum-
brance of $4,000 held by Chapman on
lots l to L, inclusive, and 50 and "a
that the sale was to have taken place.
Mrs. De GolYer was willing to give the
amount of the trust deed and interest,
$ll,400 in all. for lots to u, on which
the house is built, and Mr. Lippman,
her attorney, demanded that the sher-
If put that portion of the premises up
separately, while Mr.. Waldemar Van
Colt, representing Mr.. Chapman and
Mr. Beck, asked that lots L . 8, 4, 5,
So and "a be first put up. The sheriff,
in order to obtain legal advice as to
the demands of the attorneys, exercised
his prerogative and postponed the sale
until today.
Mr.. Druehl was on the ground with
his sacks of gold as the representative
of Mrs. De Gclyer. Mr. Van Colt con-
ceived the idea that Druehl's three
sacks did not contain $4,000. and that
Druehl was only bluff1ng Mr. Lipp-
man offered to bet IS. 900 that the sacks
contained ST., 600 This, however.
looked like gambling and Mr. Van
Colt, for the fun of the thing, reduced
the limit to S.. which Lippman ac-
cepted. and the stakes were placed in
the hands of 2. j. Daily The gold was
counted in the sheriffs office by
Druehl and Lippman. in the presence
of 2 crowd. The full So 600 was there
in SIC, SO and IS pieces.
