Mill.
Laurens, Special.?Referee in
Bankruptcy John J. Earle, in a hearing
here Tuesday, refused to confirm
the sale of the Lanford mill, bankrupt,
which was made here on Monday,
August 2. The grounds for refusal
to confirm were that, since the
upset price had been fixed at $12,000
and that the stockholders and creditors
were led to believe that this
price would be had, and, aince it w&a
sold for $8,000, the sale was invalid.
