appointed for the Campbell & Zell Com-
pany. The firm conducted large business
as engineers and contractors, AMI We're also

Boiler Works and the Enterprise Iron
Works. The total assets OF the company on
october l We're estimated at $3.50
and the liabilities at S163, S7S
Judge Harlan, of the circuit court, an.
pointed Messrs. Henry James and Charles
o. Homer, two well-known bankers, as
receivers. The bond was fixed at $780,
900, and WAS furnished by the American
Bonding and Trust Company. The court
also granted an injunction prohibiting the
officers of the Campbell & Zell Company
interfering with the work OF the receivers
and commanding them to turn over the
property.
The receivership was agreed to by the
company and was granted on the petition
of the Citizens National Bank. The com.
pany's answer admits all of the allegations
in the petition. The failure is declared to
be due to the financial stringency, past and
present.
