"CANDELARIA LITIGATION"
The sale of valuable property at Candelaria, made last Saturday by Deputy Constable Sweeney to satisfy a judgment of $299, promises to bring on considerable litigation. Steps are being taken to have the purchasers restrained from removing the property from the grounds, the contention being that it was not subject to sale in that the title did not rest absolutely in the Mount Potosi Mining Company, the defendant concern.
One piece of property sold was an aerial tramway costing over $21,000, but bid in by W.T. Virgin of Goldfield for $10. The Tonopah Lumber Company, holding the judgment, secured a blacksmith shop, tools, machinery and considerable other property from the claim. H.R. Grier bought a White Steamer automobile for $50. In fact, there were various bargains.
There promises to be a lively battle fought out in the courts before the trouble is finally adjusted. - Goldfield Tribune.
