BANK OF COMMERCE. CLOSES ITS
DOORS FOR LIQUIDATION.
Sufficient Money Placed with the In
diana National To Pay All
DepOsitOrs.

Yesterday the Bank of Commerce closed
It's doors and announced that<it had placed
sufficient money on deposit in the Indiana
National Bank 10 pay all depositors in
full, and that all checks against deposits
would be paid at the Indiana National
Bank. This seems to be the direct result
of the litigation which has been pending
since the suspension OF the bank in 1898.
A few days ago the Superior Court issued
writ Of execution against the bank in
favor OF the Supreme Lodge, Knights and
Ladies of Honor. for a little over $4,000.
which was served by Sheriff Womack on
Monday. The bank turned over sufficient
real estate TO satisfy the execution, and
at meeting of the board of directors.
Monday night, decided 10 begin to liquidate
yesterday. There was sufficient money
placed on deposit in the Indiana National
to pay all Indebtedness OF the Bank OF
Commerce in full, which will be done as
fast as the checks come in. The Bank of
Commerce has been preparing for liquida-
ton for some time. and its deposits
amounted to only little more than $4,000
The clearing house was notified yesterday
morning, OF the action of the directors.
and at the same time the Indiana National
Bank notified the clearing house that it
would pay all checks on the Bank of
The other bankers of the city were not
at all surprised when the news reached
them of the closing of this bank. They
said that it would have no effect what
ever in financial circles, as practically the
bank had been liquidatng for over year.
The bank was organized under the State
laws with a capital stock of 100000. The
principal stockholders are the DePauw es-
tate, the DePauw heirs. John w. Ray
and William Bosom. Some other stock is
held by outside parties in small amounts
1t is not known how the stockholders will
fare in the liquidation, but it is known that
some of the smaller ones. who have held
stock for years, have found it an invest
ment that demanded assessments instead of
comma nding dividends.
