Kranich & Bach Sue.
An action has been brought in the Su-
preme Court by Kranich & Bach, of this
city, against the receivers of the Luxton
& Black Piano Co., Buffalo, N. Y., to
recover fifteen pianos or their value,
$2,000.
The pianos in question were sold by the
New York company to the Luxton & Black
Co.
The plaintiff alleges that when buying
the pianos the latter company misrepre-
sented its financial standing and subse-
quently admitted having done so. The
complaint further alleges that the Luxton
& Black Co. agreed to return the instru-
ments but were unable to do so, the sheriff
having seized them.
