Voluntary Ins ofrency.


Voluntary Insotrency.
TACOMA, WASH, July 4.-Much sur
prise has been caused on Puget Sound
by the announcement that a receiver for
the Bowers Dredging Company was ap-
pointed yesterday by Federal Judge Han
ford at Seattle. This company owns the
dredgers Python and Anaconda, which
have been at work for seven years at San
Diego, Tacoma, South Bend and Seattle.
1t was supposed the com pany was making
big money as it owns the exclusive right
of operating the powerful hydraulic
dredger, invented BY Alonzo Bowers of
San Francisco, on Puget Sound and the
Columbia River and their tributaries.
Application for a receiver was made in a
friendly suit filed by Manager McCrae of
the London and San Francisco Bank, who
alleges the company to be insolvent and
obliged to discontinue business, and that
it owed $4,000, including two long over
due notes for $6500, to the bank. Attor-
ney L. d. Campbell was named receiver.
