Sale of PheniX Wooden
MillPut Off for a Week.
Injunction Case Will Be
Transferred to U. S. Court.
The Case Will Be Argued Before
u. S. District Judge Brown.

ihe seie OF the plant of the Phenix
wooden company under the mortgage will
not take place tomorrow as proposed for
by an agreement tled in the Appellate
Court today by counsel for Mr.. Samuel
Williams and for the company tho sale
is postponed for one week.
This agreement was the result OF
hearing on an injunction prayed for by
frederick y. Dews, assignee OF the
Pbenix wooden company to restrain the
sale. Samuel Williams, the uortgagee,
was represented by X. B. Comstock of
the firm of Comstock q Gardner and
assignee Dews was represented at todays
hearing by S. ". K. Allen and L. Frank
Psrkhurst.
Mr.Comstock read an affidavit from Mr..
Williams TO the effect that that gentlemen
was a nonresident and desired the case
transferred to the United States district
court. bond from Mr.. Williams with
Daviu P.Goff and James Scott as sureties
was also filed. Counsel for the Phenix
company opposed the transferring of the
case.
In tue Dill IN equity hieu ny VIE De No
as assignee the claim IL made that there
Is no interest overdue under the mortgage
and the effort of the mortgage TO get
possession of the property is termed an
inequitable proceeding.
Judge Stiness presided at the hearing of
the injunction matter and had several
intricate points brought to his notice
in connection with the request for a
trans sfer.
After counsel on both sides had dis
cussed the proposed injunction for some
time they agreed thst the sale should be
deferred to one week from tomorrow and
the case will he argued before Judge
Brown in the United States court. One
of the reasons for the opposition to the
transfer of the suit was the difficulty ii
was thought thnt mi ight be met in getting
a United States judge to grant the in
junction iu time but this objection was
got over by the agreement of counsel that
the sale should be postponed.
