CHILCOTE PROPERTY SOLD.

St. Augustine’s Catholic Church Purchases Desirable Property.

St. Augurtine’s Catholic church has entered into a contract for the purchase of the M. F. Chilcote property, consisting of residence and half a block of ground lying south and in the same block as the church property and school This will give them the entire block, and for the present the Sisters engaged in teaching the parochial school will occupy the residence. Later, the church will erect a'priest’s residence on the ground. This makes a very desirable and valuable property for the church people and they will no doubt beautify it a great deal in the next few years. The consideration is 13.500. There may be some little delay in getting the deal closed up, as there are a number of claims filed against the estate, chief of which is one of Miss Edith Miller of this city, for services as milliner and housekeeper from Aug. 1, 1883 to 1900, for $1,644, with credits in the way of clothing, etc., of $491.50, leaving a balance of sl,152.50 due claimant.

There is also a mortgage of sl,000 on the premises, we understand. Of course these matters must be adjusted before a clear title can be given.
