Description

Articles consistently refer to Fred D. Barto as receiver of the Bank of Puyallup and state the bank 'failed.' There is no mention of a depositor run in the supplied articles. The bank was in receivership by at least 1895-12-28 (Article 1). Therefore this is a suspension/closure episode (bank failed and placed in receivership). OCR errors corrected minimally (Judge Stallcup spelled variously).

REMOVED AS ATTORNEY. I The Court Objects to Mr. Reynolds Representing Receiver Barto. TACOMA, Dec. 31.-Special. - Judge Stalleup today removed W. P. Reynolds as attorney for Receiver Barto, of the Bank of Puyallup and named in his stead J. C. Leo. Reynolds has been the receiver's legal advisor since the bank failed. but recently he and the judge differed as to whether his fees should be paid out of the moneys collected before a dividend were declared. It appears that there was money enough to pay & small dividend. but this would leave nothing to pay the attorney. When the court ordered the distribution of the money among the creditors of the bank, Mr. Reynolds asked for an exception. This was refused by the court, but the attorney excepted anyway. This led to a sharp passage between the court and the attorney, which ended when the court today furtished Receiver Barto with a new lawyer. It is understood that Mr. Reynolds will carry his complaint to the supreme court.
