# Want a New Receiver. D. A. Neely, S. B. Crockett, F. W. Peabody and thirty-four others, creditors of the Bank of Kent, filed a petition in the superior court yesterday asking that Receiver W. J. Shinn be removed from the position he now occupies, and that some disinterested individual be selected to fill the place. It is alleged that W. J. Shinn, W. H. Overlock, E, S. Osborn, E. P. Tremper and E. S. Blain entered into a conspiracy to have Shinn appointed receiver of the bank for the reason that they were indebted to the bank in large sums at the time the bank was placed in the hands of a receiver; that the receiver has asked the court to provide for the salaries of himself and his attorney, John P. Hartman, jr., for the next six months, and that the bank is a small concern with small assets and is therefore not calculated to stand drains of this kind; that since Shinn was appointed receiver he has only collected $41.57, less $287.54, which latter sum was on hand and passed into his custody when the affairs was placed in his hands, and that the bank's affairs could be better cared for by some one else. It is therefore prayed that a disinterested person be appointed receiver. Judge Langley set down the case for hearing tomorrow.

The prosecuting attorney was yesterday directed, by an order of the board of commissioners, to commence action against County Treasurer John W. Maple and the sureties on his bond to recover the sum of $16,074.18, which the board finds to be the amount of shortage in the setCement of the treasurer's accounts up to December 31. The action of the commissioners implies no question of the treasurer's honesty, for the total of certificates of deposits and cash on hand, as compared with the balance sheet, shows a difference of only 84 cents, and that in favor of Mr. Maple. The shortage is brought about by the refusal of the board to accept the certificates of deposit of receivers of insolvent banks. These certificates are as follows: Bank of Kent, $2,850; Merchants' National bank of Seattle, $7,192.33; Dime Savings bank of Seattle, $1,700; Bank of Auburn, $4,331.85; total, $16,074.18. Treasurer Maple has already commenced proceedings against the several receivers for the recovery of these amounts, and the order of the commissioners that suit be brought against his bond is merely a protective measure. Following is a part of the order showing an account of the moneys at present in the county treasury and on deposit in insolvent banks: "Fred Gasch and W. H. Heaton, county commissioners: Nathan Beman, county auditor. and F. A. Twichell, deputy county auditor, having at the close of business on Thursday, December 31. 1896, counted the currency, coin and checks in the hands of John W.
