LUGAL MlNlSIEK HUNUhED Dispute May Develop Over Transfer of
 Horses and Wagons-Sunday at the

 Creditors of Selectman William c. Hart will appear at the office of Referee Edward M. Yeomans in Hart ford Monday afternoon at 2:So to con- sider what action is to be taken re- garding a settlement of his bank rupt estate. MT. Hart will attend the hearing with his counsel, Judge Will liam c. Malone of Bristol.
 Although the parties interest have made no announcement as to their plans it is expected that certain fea- lures of MT. Hart's failure may result in contest developing before the referee and a lively hearing is antici- pated.
 MT. Hart proposes to protest again st the inventory of his property made b. Niles Pierson and John Condon of Bristol and Minton A. Norton of this place, who served as appraisers. The selectman claims that the wagons, horses and other stock in his livery barns was not listed at full market value and the appraisal, if allowed 70 stand, will give false impression IS to his financial condition.
 The bankrupt's action in transfer ring to some of his creditors horses and wagons in settlement of their &C., counts before he filed his petition will probably be contested by others inter ested in the settlement of the estate. They believe that the property will have to be returned and listed with the selectman's other assets. MT. Hart declares he disposed of the goods after getting legal advice and he expects the referee to uphold him.
 While the selection of trustee to look after the business until a settle ment is made will probably be left with the creditors, MT. Hart intends to suggest Deputy Sheriff James Clark of Berlin as a candidate.
 Judging from the inventory Of the property and the total liabilities the creditors will receive very small per- centage of their bills when a settle ment is made. MT. Hart's affairs are badly tangled and if his holdings are sold the amount realized will be far below his total debts.
