JUSTICE CORNISH HANDS
DOWN DECISION IN CASE
BELLIVEAU VS.. CHASE

Associate Justice Leslie c.. Cornish
of the supreme judicial court Tues
day handed down a decision in the
Watervilie case of Harry Belliveau VS..
Charles w. Chase and others, sustain
ing a bill in equity against c. G. Ran
court, the present holder of the mort
gage figuring in the case. and dismiss
ing 1t against the other defendants in
the case.
Says the decision: This is bill
in equity brought to redeem from a
mortgage. The land in question was
owned by Sarah Belliveau. first
mortgage was given by her to the
Waterville Savings Bank on November
3. 1898. and is still outstanding. A
second mortgage was given to Charles
W. Chase. Jr.. on December 3, 1914, a
third to Granville E. Barrows on May
10, 1915, and a fourth to the plaintiff
on May Il. 1915. The plaintiff also
took an assignment of the third or
barrows mortgage on January II, 1916.
On June 5. 1915, Chase began pro-
ceedlngs to foreclose his mortgage.
The time of redemption would have
expired on June 5. 1916. His attorney
was Charles w. Dow. Dow was also
attorney for c. G. Rancourt, a subse-
quent attaching creditor. Rancourt
row holds the Chase mortgage under
assignment, dated June 10. 1916, and
also quit claim deed from Chase
under the same date, conveying
Chase's interest in the premises.
The question at issue is whether
the plaintiff made valid and legal
tender to Dow, as attorney for Chase,
prior to the expiration of the year of
redemption. | find as a fact that he
did make such tender on June 8,
1916, and therefore that this bill to re-
deem should be sustained with costs
against Rancourt, the present holder
of the mortgage, and should be dis
missed without costs as to the other
defendants.
IF the parties cannot agree as to
the amount due, the court will appoint
a master to determine that amount.
Decree may be filed in accordance
with this decision"
The real estate involved in the case
IS located in that section of Water
vile known as THE Plains" and a
hearing was held upon the bill in
equity few days ago before Justice
Cornish

OPERA HOUSE

Coming Friday and Satur day, The
t Whip" Spectacular Production in
Parts from the Legitimate Produc.
ton Of the Same Name.
Local patrons may we'll look for
ward to the engagement here on Friday
and Saturday of The Whip" for it
can safely be said that never before
have the photo play lovers been pre-
sented with such a gigantic, spectac-
ular and genuinely fascinating picture
story.
The production is shown in eight
reels,' consuming two hours time
upon the screen, and during all that
time there is not single dragging
moment. Thrill follows thrill in
rapid succession, not minor thrills
that have been done again and again
in motion pictures, but new sensa :
tons presented in new and more
exciting way. Wonderfully beautiful
photography and scenes only add to
the glamor of the entertainment. while
such scenes as The Fox Hunt, the tour
of the Eden Musee, the thrilling auto
wreck, the railroad disaster, the spec
tacular horse races and a hundred
other sights, leave the spectator in a
turmoil of uncomfortable excitement
The Whip is not alone we'll worth
seeing: it must truthfully be said that
it would be self fraudulent not to wit
ness it.-Advt

Chief Game Warden Bertrand F.
Smith has just returned from an of
fetal visit to Belgrade Lakes. He re-
ports that trout are being taken in
larger numbers than ever before, and
that the catches of salmon have been
numerous. The biggest specimen of
the latter variety that has been caught
this spring weighed 103 pounds, and
the general size has been large. The
sportsmen are showing a commendable
disposition to respect the game laws,
according to Warden Smith. There is
every Indication of a big summer bust
ness at the Lakes. he says.
