CHURCH, Is FORECLOSED.
First Time in History Catholic Church
Sold Under the Hammer.

Denver, June list Leo's Roman Cath
Ollie church was sold at public auction to
the Northwestern Mutual Insurance COM
pany for S34 600. the sale occurring in the
office of Sanford c. Hinsdale, United
States commissioner, acting in the ca
pacity of master in chancery.
For the first time in the history of the
worship belonging to that religious body
has been sacrificed to satisfy debt. Not
withstanding their financial reYerses the
Catholics in the United States had. prior
to today, managed to satisfy all Obliga-
lions without sacrificing even one of their
numerous edifices. The record has now
been broken, and the breaking of it came
the members of St. Leo's congregation,
but also to the Catholics throughout the
country
1t now seems probable that the church
will pass into the hands of of the Francis
can brotherhood, although the acquiring
of a title to the property by that order
would cause severe pain to the former
owners. Immediately after the sale this
morning Father Francis Koch. O. S. F.,
Insurance company to purchase the prop
erty, and it is likely that the offer will be
accepted. Father Francis offered $4,000
in cash and to take up the Judgment
granted by the United States court some
time ago. Vice President McLaren of the
company, who bid the property in, took
the offer under consideration. The COM
pany he stated, will allow the former
owners of the church nine months in
sire. At the explrat ton of that period he
will consider the offer of the Franciscan
brothers provided that the parish does not
redeem the church.
