Receiver Wiley Advised
..:.... =. - by His Attorney.
ANOTHER LEGAL CONTEST.
The Supreme Court TO Be Asked for
a Restraining Order in the
:: Pacific Bank.

=. Sheriff McDade's deputy still represents
him as receiver in the Pacific Bank, and
.ksceiver Wiley was there In person yes
terday, accompanied by his attorney.
McDade has not made any move as vet
TO turn over that part of the banks assets
which he is holding and which are not
subject to the attachments that have been
Issued
:. The reason given for this lack of action
is that the Sheriff's attorney S still very
busy in court; but the knowing ones have
q different opinion, and it is now openly
stated that McDade is waiting 10 hear
what action the Supreme Court will take
when. the matter is brought to its atten-
tomi1 Los Angeles to-day.
- Attorney Dunno. representing the bank.
went south on Tuesday nights train, and
:: Frank Stone, attorney for Receiver Wiley
and the Bank Commissioners, is due in
Los Angeles about the same time that
.Dunne will arrive there.
The bank Will ask the Supreme Court
fer restraining order preventing Receiver
Nllley from taking possession as receiver,
and of course Stone is there to oppose it,
his is on a n entirely different PROPOSE
tlnp from the one which came before the
;. court when restraining order was asked
.Ior after McDade was appointed" said
Receiver Wiley yesterday. "He was ap-
pointed in the insolvency proceedings, snd
was TO have proceeded at once to close up
the banks affairs. But | am appointed
and merely do nothing until the court is
sues FUR ther orders. The nrder which ap-
pointed me restraints me from transacting
any" business at all except such as the
copTt sees fit TO order"
=. 1t is expected that the matter will come
up before the Supreme Court to-day.
J. Receiver Wiley has been advised by his
attorney TO demand all the keys to the
various entrances to the bank, and. in the
.eventof refusal, to put new locks on all
the doors and see that no one has key
except himself and trusted agents. Ihis
would shut out the McDonalds and
heedirectors of the Institution, which is
exactly what Attorney Bsggett means
to do.
Ghfs all came about from little episode
yesterday afternoon, from which Mr.. Bag
gettthlnks he is perfectly right III the ad-
yice3he has given. There are several pri-
Tatei rooms IL the rear OF the banking
room, whiih are used for consultation, and
IN one of these stands a small iron safe,
which is supposed To contain private papers
of r. H Mcdonald Jr, and which neither
the Rank Commissioner nor either of the
receivers has ever molested.
But yesterday a gentleman came in who
was.a stranger, came into the Office, and
Mcdonald at once showed him into his
private Office where the little safe stands.
They were here talking for some little
time, and Mr.. Baggett. who was in the
other Office, thought he saw, through the
FROSTED glass, papers OF some sort passing
between Mcdonald and his visitor, and
Wbich~the latter put in his pocket.
As SOON as they came out of the room,
Baggptt at once asked Mcdonald who the
stranger was and what was his business,
TO. Which the latter replied, giving the
.Gentfeman's name, but evading the rest of
the inquiry. The attorney pressed him,
and he still declined, whereupon Baggett
turned'to Receiver Wiley and advised him
as SfGtezA bove.
So: o:epBhatic was he that Receiver Wiley
did not feel that he b ad the right to disre-
.gaTQ the advice. and from all of which it
may happen that the banks officers and
directors will have to go elsewhere 10 hold
CONTINGENCIES and secure deskroom.
