(UR) The state supreme court to day denied a motion by the Jake Katelman estate to dismiss an ap peal by Liberty Katelman of a Las Vegas district court order confirm ing sale of El Rancho Vegas stock by the irst National Bank ad ministrator The bank moved to dismiss the appeal because Mrs Katelman and her child had accepted monthly family allowance payments of $750 The bank contended that because the widow and child knew these payments came out of the proceeds of the stock sale they were pre cluded from appealing the order confirming the sale The court denied the motion on grounds the family allowance pay ments were charged against the en tire estate and not simply against the proceeds of the stock sale and that there was no waiver of the right of appeal The opinion was filed with Court
