To REDEEM
A MORTGAGE
prom saturdays Advertiser,

Jessie X. Kaae, executrix of the will
of Margaret V. Carter, has petitioned
for leave to sell real estate. The pur-
pose is to redeem a mortgage to the
estate of Charles Motley, deceased, of
all the real estate of the decedent to
secure a promissory note for $4,000
made July 7, 1900, for two years at
4 per cent. None of the principal has
been paid, but the interest has been
paid up to July Z, 1905. There are
taxes due on the estate up to this year
of $693.16, which a Chinese firm as les
see should pay. IN appeal has been
taken to the Supreme Court from an
. order disallowing some portions of petit
/ tioner's account. Petitioner has on
hand about $3.50 without prospect of
materially increasing the sum until the
!, first of January, 1906, and the entire
I revenue of the estate is insufficient to
/ pay the interest on the mortgage and
provide for maintaining the homestead
in manner suitable for the residence
I of the husband and children of dece-
dent. While the personal property was
appraised at $l706.50, since then an
order of court decl. reu most of it to
be the property of DR.. Carter. The ex-
ceptions are jewelry and silver table,
ware valued at $650.50, which are di-
rected in the will to be distributed
\ among decedent's children and other
|. relatives. If sold they would probably
/ not bring more than half their apprais-
ed value. No debts of the estate other
than the mortgage remain to be paid.
The real estate is readily severed and
\ segregated into three different parcels,
viz: About 45 acres of rice land, under
lease at $500 a year, appraised at 3d.
500; about los acres of kula and noun
/ tain land, appraised at $3.50, and the
4 homestead premises, about 26 acres, ly-
ing between the seashore and the rice
lands, appraised at $4,000. The total
valuation is $21, $50. 1t is believed by
petitioner that the first parcel Of land
would sell for probably more than suf-
ficient TO redeem the property from the
lien of the mortgage, but that the
second and third ercels. sold either
separately or together, would not yield
sufficient for that purpose.
MONEY FOR MINORS.
j. J. Dunno, guardian of Aluli and
\,
deceased, filed petition to Judge De
Bolt, praying for a citation to Koloa
Sugar Co. to appear and show cause
why it should not pay to petitioner
$4,000 due to the estates of the minors.
1t is mentioned that the defendant,
on demand being made, admitted it
was indebted to Paupau's estate and
promised to hand over the money upon
proof that the minors were the legal
heirs of Paupau. Judge Robinson has
| issued an order to cite the Koloa Sugar
Co. to appear at chambers on August
! % and show cause as prayed.
