Overland Warehouse, at No. PA Clay street,
owned by 7. w. Floyd L Co., was closed by
attachment, and is now in the hands of the

quantities of -four stored in the warehouse,
giving receipts made out by themselves

out the knowledge of either bank. 1t is
claimed that the actual loss to the creditors
by the removal of the four will reach 90 per
cent. As We. none ii the firm has
been arrested, no charges of swindling hav-
ing been preferred by the creditors,
though it is said that such charges will
be made. 1t is reported that Floyd 4 Co.
sold large Touring mill at Benicia few
days ago, but refused to state the sum which
they were paid. They have also borrowed
from parties. whose names have not been
ascertained. 81 600, giving receipts for wheat
claimed to be stored in the warehouse The
Nevada Bank state that they have been
secured against loss, and the Pacific Bank
people express a strong hope that they will
not lose the amount loaned. Floyd & Co.
say they will redeem every obligation, if
allowed an opportunity. The closing of the
warehouse and the disclosures following have
created much excitement in business circles
of the city.
