INDIANA BANKS.

The Peoples, of Windfa'', Had Cut Loose
from DwiGgins and VIII Not Suffer.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WINDFALL, Ind, May 15.-In justice to
the Peoples Bank, of this place, We desire
to correct q false impression that has gone
ont to the effect hat the Peoples Ban
was under management and control of the
DwIggine ~ Starbuck system. and had gone
down with the Columbia National, of Chi
cago. The facts are that the Peoples Bank
was originally under the Dwiggins Il Star
back management, but in August last the
bank was organized into q stock company
under q State law.
The stock is principally owned by the
most substantial farmers and the best busl-
ness men of the county. The bank Is in a
safe and prosperous condition, and will
not lose to exceed $500 by reason of the
bank faiiures. Deposits are being made
instead of being taken out, and the bank
is moving along as if nothing had oc-
Cured.
