DESKYS HILo DEALS.
If bomb shell had fallen on Reed s
| Island the residents of that delightful
| spot would not have been more sur
prfsed than when they received notice
| that the land for which they had paid
good hard coin was to be sold under
foreclosure Of mortgage.
This tract of land was put on the
| market by c. S. Desky in 1.-The good
old summer time when HiIo had good
times and a boom. Puueo had been
successfully exploited and Desky saw
money ahead in the Reeds Island
tract and entered into negotiations
with A. B. Loebenstein for the pur-
chase. The deal was made and Des-
ky bought the property subject to a
mortgage of So 1000, some people say
subject to vo mortgages, and the con-
ditions were stipulated in the deed
given by Mr.. Loebenstein to Desky.
AS the latter sold the lots he gave
warranty deeds in which no mention
was made of the mortgages. One of
the latter for $4,000 and interest, held
by A S. Wilcox, is long past due and
as he cannot get settlement out of
Deskey he is about to foreclose. The
other mortgage is said to be 81, 500 and
the two with interest amount to So
900. IF the matter is not settled be-
fore the date of sale, March "a the
~
present holders of the lots will find
having to pay for property for which
they now hold deeds.-Herald.
BASEBALL AT PAAUILO.
A fine game of baseball was played
last Sunday at Paauilo between the
PapaaIoa boys and the local team that
was witnessed by a large number of
spectators from the neighboring PLAN
tations who enjoyed the spirited play
ing and added much enthusiasm to
the game. The day was an ideal one
for bah and very clever work was done
by both sides. The score at the finish
gave the Papaaloa team the honors
for the day by one run, but the game
throughout was very evenly matched.
The Paauilo folks are certainly royal
and the elaborate banquet
tenderedN the Papaaloa team in the
evening at Social Hall proved their
generous hospital ty. Social Hall never
looked prettier, the flags, bunting and
ferns with the colors of the teams,
making very pretty effect. The sing
ing was especially good and music and
merry toasts were the order of the
evening. Great praise was given the
various committees that had charge of
the affair and everybody had a most
enjoyable time.-Herald.
