ORDER IS ISSUED
BY JUDGE SPEER
In Case of Ensign-Oscamp
Co. VS.. B. s. B. and
Others
CAsif AS i Bic SURPRISE
order Was Served on Receiver ogg
by United States MarshaI-case
Set for Hearing in Mt. Airy
August 8.

mlnshan railroad Company, its Varl-
Gus franchises and properties, which
have been advertised in The News
for the past four weeks, aud which
was scheduled to occur.taSay between
the legal hours oGsss8e win not occur.
This Will probably cause consterna-
ton. amazemant and surprise to the
people Of Brunswick generally for the
entire community had INDUCED the
hope that at this time no impediment
would turn up to prevent the b. &
B. property from passing into the
hands OF the Atlantic and Birmingham
people.
However, such is not the case, and
whether pre-ordained or not it seems
that multiplicity of conditions are
arising to prevent the consummatlon
Of the deal which industrial Brunswick
is very anxious for.
But. to make long story snort, and
as stated above. the sale of the b
& Is will not occur today AZ a late
hour yesterday afternoon c. D. Ogg,
commissioner of the b. & b. Rail
read Company, was served with a re.
sleaining order signed by Judge Em-
ory Speer of the United States court,
prey enting the sale of the property
today The order in question was
served by Deputy United States Mar
chal Mcclellan, Of Waycross, and the
silt is brought in favor Of the Ensign
oseamp Lumber Company VS. the B.
& b.. Isiiload Co, the Atlantic and
Birmingham hallway Company, the
Atlantic and Western Construction
Company the b. & b. Construction
Company @ D. Ogg, Commissioner
and the Kncherbocker Trust Company
The order OF the court does not go
into detail, but handles in a very eff.
tectual manner a number of briefs.
IT does not even state what attorneys
represent the Ensign Oscamp people
but directs Commissioner Ogg to re-
frain from selling the property today
and show cause at Mount Airy, on
next Monday, August s, why a perma-
nent receiver for the b. & b. should
not be appointed to operate the line
for the mutual protection of all cred
TORS
It is understood from parties who
are in close touch with past affiliations
Of the B. & 3. that the latter concern
is not involved with the Ensign-Os
camp people except IN very nominal
sum The B, & B. people purchased
the ocilla & 1rwinville Railroad
through the Ensign-O Oscamp Lumber
Company and paid them for i, in hard
cash, and for this reason it is point
ed out that the basis for the present
litigation cannot involve the purchase
price of the o. & / connection. It
is true that the Ensign-Oscamp people
have a claim against the B & b. Rail
road Company amounting to some
thing like $500 for repair work on a
locomotive owned by them. It is also
true that they( the Ensign Oscamr
Company own nine bonds Of the b
q 3. railroad, having a par value Of
S1.e80 each, which. Of course would
not or should not. constitute sufficient
founaatiqn for such procedure as this
inil ctlon.
The reception Of the order in Bruins
wick yesterday afternoon came in the
