interest was paid. and the association
directed Il foreclosure of the mortgage
and this suit was brought and sale
made TO pay the amount due, in which
amount was included fines for the fail
ure to pay monthly installments. Arm
strong appealed. The court says:
The bill was based on the bond and
mortgage, which. as exhibits. were
made Il part thereof by reference. They
also show monthly payments of inter-
est and principal were to begin May
J, 1898. The maturity Of the debt was
declared by the resolution of the board
of directors on the 2Sth day of Novem-
Der, 1898. The contract In the mort
gage was that for six months default
the association could forfeit the stock
and mature the debt. and then foreclose.
The right to foreclose was dependent
on the forfeiture and maturity of the
debt. That was the agreement and that
was the effect of the action of the board
OF directors as the matter was treated
in the arguments. The effect. therefore.
of such action. was to sever the rela-
ton of the appellant with the associa-
ton rs Il member. and necessarily re-
leased her from the obligation to pay
any fines thereafter The decree was
for too great n sum and in this there
was error. reversed.

LAHIV WILL DIE.
Had Desperate Encounter With Rob-
Der in Chicago Street.
Shot First In The Groin and Then in the Head.
The Crock Made His Escape.

ST Louis, Jan. 10..-With the police
within a block Of the scene. John Lahiv.
tailor. fought a desperate street bat
tie with a highwayman and when his
assailant had finished with him he had
received two wounds, one OF which win
prove fatal.
Lahiv was walking on Lucas avenue
when he was ordered by a young white
man who had been following him 20
throw up his hands. The tailor had q
large sum of money on his person and
wore a diamond stud. Instead of sur
rendering. he reached for his pistol,
but before he could draw IL the rob-
Der seized him and knocked him down.
Lahiv jumped up and fired mis- revolver
The highwayman returned the fire. the
bullet taking effect in the groin. After
severe struggle Lahiv succeeded in
knocking down the robber
The highwayman, however. was too
strong for Lahiv who was growing
faint for loss of blood. He kicked the
tailor i'm the face. drew another re-
Volver and fired. the bullet lodging i'm
Lahivs head The tailor sank TO the
ground apparently lifeless and the rob-
ber escaped without any booty.
The police are inclined to think the
affair an assassination and that the as
sailant was an enemy of Lahiv.
