Receiver Appointed. On last Tuesday. Anson Higby of this city was appointed receiver of the Crook county bank of Sundance, Wyoming, by an order made at Newcastle, Wyoting, by Judge W. S. Metz of the Fourth judicial district of Wyoming. The application for the appointment of the receiver was made by a majority of the stockholders of the bank who had become dissatisfied with its management by the cashier, and therefore desired to close up the business and dissolve the corporation.

We understand that the stockholders has become so dissatisfied with the management of the bank that they determined to close out its affairs, even if it should a loss to themselves.-Pioneer.
