A decree in favor OF the complainant in
the case of Carl Reese against John B.
Cleaveland and Mary Cleaveland was
handed down in the Federal Court yester-
day. The case is one for the foreclosure
of mortgage and the payment of interest
notes on property owned by the defendants
in the Downey Arsenal Heights addition to
this city. The defendants failed to pay the
interest notes and the principal note on
the mortgage loan of the property. In the
decree the court overruled the exceptions
TO the report of Edward Daniels, master
in chancery. and ratified and confirmed
the report in every particular. The court
further adjudged that there was due the
complainant upon the notes and the mort
gage described in the bill of complaint the
sum of s3,2s5.2G. to be paid by the defend
ants of the case. A further ruling was
that the mortgage is a first and superior
lien on the real estate therein described,
and that the rights and interests of the de-
PENDANTS are Junior. inferior and subjec-
tive to the compliments mortgage lien.
The court further stated that the mort
cages should be forecloSed, and gave the
defendants ten days in which to pay the
sum above specified, upon the failure Of
which the master in chancery Will effect
the sale of the real estate.
The case is one of long standing, and
originated back in 1889, at which time the
property involved was bought from Col.
John Streight and wife for a consideration
of $500. The Cleavelands were the pur-
chasers of the property, and a few years
later mortgaged the land. Henry Reese,
of Bremen, Germany, was the mortgagee
The mortgage was executed to secure 81 200
in notes. In 1896, the interest having been
long due and the notes defaulted, suit was
brought against the Cleavelands in the SUI
periOr Court upon the notes and for fore
closure of the mortgage. However. a COM
promise was made by Carl Reese, son of
Henry Reese, by which a new mortgage
and new notes were given. Suit was again
filed last year upon the failure of the de-
PENDANTS TO pay the interest and the notes.
