hearing may be continued. 2. Upon satisfactory proof being made that the defendants have been duly notified

of the pendency of the petition, as prescribed in NRS 495.120 , and upon the hearing of the allegations and proofs of the parties, if the court

and disinterested persons as commissioners. 3. One of the commissioners shall be selected from among the persons, if any, named

for that purpose by the corporation, and one shall be selected from among the persons,
