chaser who represents the Receivers credi-
tors, upon payment Of the sum bid at the
sale, S27, 800, aud security for Sl0O,O ,OO0 the
rst mortgage and interest, held by the
Atkins Estate
Capt. +. d. Smith read six reasons why the
sale should not be confirmed absolutely at
this time and argued that only a confrma-
tion nisi should now be allowed, 20 give other
creditors an opportunity to file objections.
One Of the reasons cited was that $50 900
worth Of book accounts were sold without
having been included in the order Of sale and
that, consequently, they should not have
been sold at the time. He filed another
claim for 81 600 held by NJ. Addy and Com
pany, Receivers creditor
The Judge said the only question at issue
was the sale Of tho book accounts, and
intimated that he would rather hear all
objections now to do away with further
delay.
Mr.. Woodbury. asked that the 1st Of Sep.
tember be fixed for a hearing and b +.
Cumming remarked that there was nothing
in the order Of sale authorizing the sale Of
the book accounts.
Mr.. Woodbury. remarked that he thought
that further delay would be more favorable
to the starting of the mill than if the case
was argued at the present time. The parties
are now hard at work trying to fix matters
up.
Judge Bechtel "If such proceedings are
under way, and il can be shown that this is
the case, would be disposed to postpone
action, but we have never been able to dis
cover any such proceedings, although we have
been waiting long time for this very reason.
The other side does not say so -
Mr.. Woodbury. I'VE have been trying to
get some one to come here with the necessary
money and start the plant for the benefit of
the community, as well as the creditors"
Mr.. Farquhar said he had been unable to
learn that anything tangible had been done
by the other side except to court delay.
Mr.. II. b. Brown, the bidder, stated that
it was very desirable that all interests
should be harmonized and the plant
got under way, but unless some
definite action would be taken the
matter would drag along another year.
He was present last June year and delay
was granted for the very same reason now
advanced by the other side. He thought
some one should be in a position to force
matters, and the action of the court in max
ing the order Of sale should not be made
light of. He said the other side occupied a
very inconsistent position in many respects
Mr.. Roads answered the objection to the
sale Of the book accounts and personal
property, after which Judge Bechtel stated
that he would take what objections had been
filed and said he would hear the other side
