Important and Hard-Fought
Case.
CREDITORS BEGIN SUIT
Sought to Have Assets Distribut-

stead OF Stockholders.
CREDITORS BEGIN sun

Especial to The Times-D ispatcli.)
GREENSBORO. N. c., August 25.--
United States District Judge James y.
Boyd yesterday filed an opinion in the
celebrated case of the Toxaway Hotel
Company. This was a proceeding
brought by certain creditors to have
the company adjudged bankrupt, and
has been the cause of extensive litiga-
ton. Application for the bankruptcy
application was resisted by the COM
pany, on the ground that hotel COM
pany under the bankrupt act could not
be SO adjudged. In an elaborate
opinion, Judge Boyd holds that the
Toxaway Company Is liable and is adj
Judged bankrupt This company, which
kept the Toxaway, Franklin. Sapphire
and Fairfield hotels, in Transylvania
and Jackson counties. known all over
the world now as the Sapphire Coun-
try of Carolina" went out of business
in 1906, indebted to the extent OF sew
eral thousand dollars to produce mer-
chants. grocers, dealers in liquor and
general merchandise. running several
stores and bars. Upon going out of
business the company sold it's entire
property, and transferred the proceeds
of the sale to Blumenthal Sc Brickard,
liquor dealers. of Atlanta, Ga, and
stockholders in the Toxaway Company.
On behalf of creditors amounting to
over $4,000, j. c. Martin and w. r.
Whitson, of Asheville, and w. w.
Zachery. of Brevard filed an applica-
ton last year for Involuntary bank
| ruptcy. so that the proceeds of this
sale might be applied under the bank
| rupt law to the payment of all debts,
instead of to tn ecanceling of the lebt
due to the Atlanta stockholders. The
| Toxaway Company was represented
by Attorneys Davidson, Bourne and
Parker, of Asheville The hotels arc
being run now with reported financial
benefit by another company which has
obtained the lease of the Toxaway
| Hotel Company.
