F.. J. c. Little, the referee in bank
ruptcy for Kennebec county, had a
busy day on last Saturday. although
he has had more cases oftentimes on
a single day. It so happened, however,
that he was obliged to divide his time
between Augusta and Skowhegan. a
visit to the latter place being neces-
sary by the fact that the Somerset ref
cree was a creditor in case and thus
unable to act as referee.
The case was that Of the first meet
ing OF creditors of Leon A.. Sylvester
OF Skowhegan, held at 1890 A M, in
the Office of Daniel Lewis at Skowhe-
gan before Referee F. J. c. Little. The
bankrupt was examined and Harold j.
Phillips of Skowhegan appointed trus-
tee. The examination showed no as
sets for the creditors. The total secur-
ed indebtedness was found to be $3.50
and the unsecured Indebtedness $685.
The scheduled assets amounte to $2512,
all of which is mortgaged. The attor-
ney FOR the bankrupt is Bernard Gibbs
