Penn-Wyoming Bit Raised to $165,000
The United States court heard that the Penn-Wyoming property sale bid rose from 145,500 to 165,000, with Raymond W. Starr representing the Bondholders' Reorganization committee in Cheyenne. Judge John A. Riner required assurances of development, not dismantling, as the Saratoga and Encampment railroad and townsite of Encampment would be included among assets. The sale’s confirmation is anticipated, with continued hearings to address tied claims, including a 320,000 Union Pacific lien, and a continuation set for Thursday.
