DISPUTE OVER
 MAIN ST. STORE
Suit of Pastine Estate Against Lessee Argued In Su-
 preme Court.

Possession of premises at 1159 Main street, regarded as one of the most desirable locations in the busi- ness center, is the basis of the law suit argued before the supreme court of errors in this city today. The suit is brought by Lillion Pastne and others against Jennie Altman and others.
 The property was owned by Bar tholomew Pastine, who died in 1912. His daughter, Mary Pastine Myers, as adminiEtratrix on his estate, gave a five year lease of the premises to Jennie Altman in 1915. Later a local merchant offered to buy the property but called negotiations off when he learned of the lease.
 IL was then claimed by the Pastine estate that the lease was void because 1t was signed by Mrs. Myers without authority from the probate court. Thersupon the present suit was start ed by Lillian Pastine and other Past inc heirs to have the lessees elected from the premises. Because of the novel legal question involved the lawyers in the case did not try it in the superior court but took 1t to the supreme court on reservation.
