Judge Hlles held court last nigh. to
hear arguments on the objections OF
creditors OF the Bank OF Salt Lake
and the First Bank Of Mercur, relative
to the sale OF the assets OF the two
banks to II. II. Rss for $4,000.
The parties obiectinR to the sale are
f. A. Muzzy, w. p. Lynn (adminis.
traitor OF the estate Of ihs late William
IL. Knox, and l. coma ID. Peasley.
These parties are creditors in the sum
OF $4,000.
The majority OF the creditors rur.
pose selling 800, 900 shares OF Dslton
ana Lark'a mining stock, which were
transferred by J. ii. Bacon, to James
Schenck MS security for an indebted
ness of So, 900; also 800 shares OF stock
OF the Sait Lake SanlATIum companv ,
held by u. Il. Tupnecliff. anu S24
shares OF stock In the 81. Anthony
canal held by different parties to secure
money loaned to Bacon.
Attorneys Thompson and Burton, as
representatives OF the objectors asked
that these assets be not included In the
sale q the other assets, but that the
100000 be accepted for the rest OF the
assets.
The contenued that the receivers
had already begun suit to Rave the
transfers OF the properties named eel
aside, and thar 1t might be thrown iu
with the general assets Of the bank
The receivers ought to prosecute tht
suits when the creditors might receive
ull that was coming to them,
but II the Dalton and Lar
6anitnrium anu st. Anthony
stocks are sold as suggested, It wOui,
end the quits now pending and tn,
creditors would get nothing but
ANAL dividend on the amounts du,
them.
They also thought that the private
sale ought not to be concluded Until
after the nssets had bsen otfefed Tor
sale, in order 10 eco If higher bid
could not be obtained.
The receivers OF tue bank, w. H..
Jacobs, Frank Knox, were examined.
They stated that In making valua.
ton OF the Bssets they had not placed
anything on the equity In the Dalton
q LqIk, Ssnithrium anu st. Anthony
stocks, Tor the reason that they did not
think those stocks would bIiDg more
than the amounts wnioh were assigned
against them, and that II sold there
would be no surplus.
They did not have much confidence
In the suits planted TO recover those
stocks for the estate.
Judge Dey, attorney for the
receivers, WAS also examined ana he
did not think the outlook for a
favorable mination would warrant
the receivers putting the estate to the
expense OF bridging the suits to trial.
Attorney Dickson, representing
Bacon WAS not opposed to having the
stocks excluded from the sale provided
that IL the suits were prosecuted, that
the expense OF the same would Ue met
by someone else other than The estate.
