Appointed Assignee.
Notwithstanding the many rumors
concerning the shaky condition of the
Merchants State Bank it was matter
of great surprise when the doors were
locked Friday last. Deposits to the
amount of several thousand dollars had
been recently withdrawn by parties who
knew of the insufficient security tina, had
been taken by the bank upon loans made
during the last Is months. This with
the stringent times and deprecated real
estate values made it impossible to much
longer hold out, and upon the presenta-
ton of check for nearly $4,000 they
refused TO pay it. for lack of funds. A
number of attachments Immediately fol-
lowed. The first being in favor of II. NJ.
Beverley.
The bank was the repository for many
school districts. as we'll as the county and
city treasurers.
The real estate assets of the lnstitu-
ton are heavily encountered and their
cash value is difficult to estimate. Al
though the county may sustain some loss,
it will not affect the price of county scrip
as there is much more money on deposit
in the First National Bank than the total
amount of scrip outstanding. Also the
amount deposited in the defunct bank
was the sinking fund. and should it not
all be recovered the loss will be lightly
felt by the county.
The complicated affairs of the bank
will require some time for full exami-
nations and much litigation will undoubt-
edly result. A majority of the creditors
seem willing to give the bank officials
ample time to make settlement. Some.
however, seem to think that at least
criminal carelessness has been shown in
the management of the bank land tits not
improbable that some prosecutions will
follow. A. E. Grier, representing the
Rollins Investment Company, of Denver,
was in the city Monday to investigate the
company's business, they having $4,000
in Ford county scrip which had been for
warded to the Merchants State Bank for
collection. The county's check had been
given for the amount of the scrip. there
being large amount to the county's
credit, but the check was not accepted by
the bank. In some way the scrip has
fallen into the possession of the county
treasurer and the Rollins Investment
Company will bring suit to recover the
scrip or its cash value. They have re-
tanned Sutton & McGarry to protect their
interests.
Shortly after the first attachment issu-
ed the county attorney asked that re-
ceiver be appointed, and L. G. Grobety
was made receiver. Soon after the re-
ceiver had qualified and demanded pos
session an assignment was made to c. w.
Averill. The commissioners and county
attorney are awake to the interests of
the county, but with the several attach
ments in the hands of the sheriff. the as
slgnee and receiver each attempting to
obtain possession, the assets will be used
up in the payment of fees.
The liabilities, with names of cedi-
tors. are given below:
