Pret,yman Bank Failure.

CHICAGO, November 2i.-A meeting
of the Directors of the Prettyman bank
and of the stockholders of the North
Division Lumber Company was held last
evening. The depositors in the bank
and the stockholders of the Lumber
Company, which was concern practic-
ally controlled and operated by Pretty
man, talked over the situation, and
after hearing from all who wished to
speak, their legal advisor recommended
that application be made at once to
Judge Prendergast to remove the as
sgnee OF the bank and lumber COM
pany, Mr.. Johnson, and appoint one as
signee for the bank and another for the
lumber company. The creditors de-
clarcd that Mr.. Johnson would not be
able to separate the interests intrustcd
10 him. The comment on the manage
ment OF the affairs of the concerns in
question was not very favorable. The
general impression seemed to be that
Mr.. Prettyman used funds of the bank
and deposits to carry on the lumber
concern. The lumber stock was said
to be practically valueless.
Prettyman in an interview assert:
that the assets will fully cover the lia'
biliticS.
