Tomorrow the county will commence
suit against the sureties on the bond of
the State National bank, which recently
suspended, for the recovery of the county
funds, amounting to SIS. 564, which were
in the bank on deposit when the suspen-
sion occurred.
Last winter the State National was
made one of the repositories of the county
funds and bond given for the safe keep
ing of the same.
Yesterday morning the county commits
sioners met and sent for County attorney
Willard Boone for conference, the re-
suit of which was that the following order
was passed:
Whereas. The board of county commits
sioners of Sedgwick county, Kansas. have
ascertained that it is necessary for the
county treasurer to have in his possession
he sum of s2S, .75 for the purpose of
paying orders on the county treasurer, II Is
hereby ordered by the said board Of county
commissioners in regular session convened,
that John A. Doran, county treasurer, be
instructed TO draw check on the State
National bank of Wichita for the SAID
amount, and to present the same for pay
ment.
This morning the commissioners met
once more and the following resolution is
self explanatory:
Whereas, john A. Doran, county treas
urer, was Instructed by the county COM
missioners to present to the State National
bank of Wichita check for the sum OF
SOS, 449. IS, and the said county treasurer
has reported that such check has been
made and payment has been refused.
It is hereby ordered by the board of
county commissioners that the county at
torney OF Sedgwick county, Kan, is
hereby instructed TO bring action against
the State National bank and the sureties
on the bond given to Sedgwick county.
County Attorney Boone was seen last
night but lie did not have much to say.
IL will tell you this" said he, 1.-The county
of Sedgwick will not lose dollar. l have
been looking up matters and the county is
absolutely safe"
There was we'll founded rumor last
night, and it came pretty straight, that
Captain Carey, personally, has offered to
come forward at once aud pay the county
every dollar it had in the bank provided
the Lombards would pay their portion of
il. without a suit.
1t was positively asserted to a reporter
for the EAGLE that Captain Carey had
written letter from California to that
effect.
A gentleman who has an opportunity of
knowing a thing or two about the suspen
sion speaking of the matter yesterday said:
Let me predict to You that the State
National bank will resume business at no
distant day. If certain partain whom
l will not name will quit monkey
ing the bank will be put ON its feet and il
will be a stronger institution than it has
ever been. There are men connected with
that institution who have pride in the
bank and pride in Wichita, and they are
able and willing to restore it if certain
Instructions will get out of the way. / am
To buf or incy WILL
pretty soon that will put an entirely new
aspect on the affair. l know men who
have offered the bank assistance, since its
failure, under certain conditions. These
conditions are not at all impossible, in
fact they are very liberal"
The denositors of the bank will hold
meeting in the county clerks Office, Tues
day evening
