ATTACHED FOR $4,000.
Silver Spring BIeachery Corporation Ac-
cused Of Breaking Contract.

An attachment OF $4,000 was placed on
the plant of the Silver Spring Bleaching
and Dyeing company yesterday by James
l.. Crowell
Mr.. Crowell said last evening that the
reason for the placing OF the attachment
was that the Silver Spring Bleaching and
Dyeing company had violated the terms
OF its contract with him. This contract,
said Mr.. Crowell, had three years more
20 run, and I'm spite OF that he says that
he was notified by the company about
three weeks ago that his services were no
longer desired. Mr. Crowell says that he
was virtually discharged last December,
when he was requested to take a trip to
California for his health"
Besides this breach OF contract, Mr..
Crowell claims that the Silver Spring
Bleaching and Dyeing company is I'm his
debt 10 the extent of three years salary,
and. taking into consideration the amount
OF this salary. the alleged breach OF
contract which, according TO him, has
stlll three years TO run. and all the trou-
bic TO which he has been put and Is likely
to incur I'm the future. he thinks $4,000
none too large a sum for which TO place
attachment.
