GREENBERRY POINT
AGAIN FOR SALE
Mr.. Strohmeyer. 0f Baltimore, Has
Filed Foreclosure Proceedings
Under His Mortgage

In the Circuit Court yesterday Mr.
]. Henry Strohmeyer. of Baltimore.
through Messrs. Charles Clagett and
Jesse Slingluff, solicitors, filed fore
closure proceedings under Mr. Stroh-
meyers mortgage against the Remson
property. known as the Greenberry
Point Farm, near Annapolis.
This mortgage is for $4,000. and is
the second mortgage on this property,
the first mortgage being held by Mr.,
G. Clifton Sunderland, of Annapolis.
and the third mortgage by Mrs. Eta
L. Boynton, of Washington. Foreclos-
ure proceedings under the first and
third mortgages took place in the
spring of 1917, and the cases went to
the Court of Appeals, which decided
that the Sunderland mortgage was the
first mortgage, but that both sales
should be set aside on the ground
that they were held on the same day
and may have resulted in the prop
erty going at an inadequate figure.
The purchase price then was $4,000.
Mr.. Strohmeyer took no part in
these foreclosure proceedings, but
now has taken the initiative TO collect
his debt and has advertised the sale to
take place on September %, 1918. 1t
is understood that negotiations are
still pending for the sale of this prop
erty TO the United States Government.
but that nothing definite has been ac-
complished along this line

JENKINS FAMOUS PARK
IS VICTIM OF FLAMES

jenkins famous park, which, along
with the similar resorts in the Fifth
District, furnished a number of cases
for the local Circuit Court in days
gone by, was burned down early yes
terday morning. Dixons Park,
another famous resort nearby, was
also seriously damaged by the flames.
The fire was noticed shortly after 2
O'Clock by George Wilkerson, a watch
man. He had not been inside the main
building for an hour, but at that time,
he said, everything was all right. An
alarm was sounded at 2.30 o'clock, but
before the fremen arrived the build
ings were too far gone to be saved.
Firemen saved all but the barn on the
Dixon Park property. Several guests
at Dixon's helped prevent the flames
spreading. Owing to the late arrival
of the fire department a bucket bri-
gade was organized.
