A WAR ON OIL.
A Lively Tuss1e Taking Place Here Be.
tween Two Rival Concerns

Lively Tussle Taking Place Here Be-
tween Two Rival Concerns.
A large number Of our people have
become aware before this that there is
a war on in kerosene and gasoline oils.
1t is lively scrimmage and has on one
side, as a contestant, no less concern
than the Standard Oil trust. On the
other are a few independent refiners
who are trying to dispose of goods here
lin opposition to the big trust octopus.
1t is making these oils very cheap in
this city, but it would not be hard to
guess what prices will be when the
trust shall have run out these other
fellows, as it probably will ere long.
The unlimited resources of the trust
and it's we'll known methods will I'M
doubtedly outstrip the smaller concerns
before long. 1t has reached the pass
now where the grade known as head
light kerosene sells for Z cents. This is
81 cents below the quoted wholesale
price in Chicago. There is not so big a
cut in gasoline. That is selling at i
cents. The wholesale price is IL cents.
1t is not believed that the prices are
the bottom. They will probably go
lower very soon. If they do it will be
the trust that puts the price down to
squeeze out the others.

ALL VERY QUIET.
The Affairs of the Dan Head 6 Co. As
Segment All Right.


Everything has been very quiet about
the bank of Dan Head & Co. today.
Assignee Hale was on deck early with
Attorney Fisher, Fred Engle, Dan
Lewis and Charlie Garst, his assistants.
In an interview this morning held by
a representative of this paper with Mr..
Hale, that gentleman said everything
so far appeared all right and that the
assets were showing up very much
better than had been anticipated they
would. He was still hard at work on
the schedule of assets and liabilities for
the inventory, and from present indica-
tons it is not at all impossible that the
bank will be able to resume payment
again before q great while. 1t seems
to grow more certain each day that no
depositor will lose anything.
The movement for a receivership has
not apparently gained much Roadway.
Several of those interested have con-
suited their attorneys, but no decisive
steps have yet been decided upon.
Further developments are being await
ed
Assignee Hale stated this afternoon
that an account had been opened at
the First National bank. He said
State Bank Examiner Kidd had been
here this morning and had looked over
the records of daily balances and the
teller's accounts for some time back
and was satisfied with the showing.
He told the assignee that it would not
be advisable to open the bank for the
collection of accounts due, until the in
ventory had been completed. He left
town again and stated that he would
return when the inventory had been
completed.
Is This True?
There is quite bitterness of feeling
among some of the depositOrs in the
defunct bank because of the alleged
fact that they have nothing to show
for money left there. A reporter for
this paper heard of at least two in
stances where money had been left
with U. j. Lewis as cashier, with the
instruction that it be loaned for them.
They we're given no papers, they say,
to show for the amounts thus
left. If this be fact they
have no claims against the bank
which the assignee can take any note
of. One left 81, 900 and the other be-
tween 5000 and $4,000. Everything
depends upon the honesty Of Mr.. Lewis
for the return Of any such money.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1895-08-29

the banks condition had leaked out. If
this happened run on the bank fol-
lowed, resulting in the closing of its
doors. Our bank will not lose a cent
by the failure. Head & Co. drew out
it's deposit last week in an effort to
carry on the bank"
Another Notice Posted.
This forenoon another notice ap-
peared on the window of the bank. 1t
shows that George Hale is in posses
sion ard proposes to do all that he can
to allay the fears which may be enter
tanned anywhere. The notice read as
follows: /" Just as soon as the assignee
can prepare an inventory the bank will
be open for collection of debts and ac-
counts due bank and for the transac-
ton of such other business as lawfully
comes within the powers of the as
signee. GEORGE HALE, Assignee.
They Want a Receiver.
Not all the depositors are satisfied
with George Hale as assignee. Late
this afternoon a movement was started
by John Betting and Mr.. Burke for a
receivership. For some reason or 9TH
er they feel that an assignment is not
the best thing for all concerned and
that a friendly receiver would be much
better. So they have bestirred them
selves to see if there was not sentiment
enough in favor of getting the assign
ment set aside and receiver appoint
ed among the depositors. Justhow far
the movement will go cannot yet be
ascertained.
Assignee Makes Statement.
This afternoon Assignee Hale made
a statement, which was something as
follows: He said he was making a
schedule of the assets and liabilities of
the bank with the assistance of clerks
and Peter Fisher as attorney prepare
tory to filing an inventory in court,
which will be done as expeditiously as
possible.
No Cause for Alarm.
One of the principal stockholders in
the bank in speaking of it's affairs this
morning, stated there was no cause for
apprehension on the part of deposiTors.
Everything would come out all right.
He said there was ample paper in the
vault to meet every demand. In
speaking on the same point Attorney
Fisher stated that he was sorry the
statement of the banks affairs could not
be published this evening, since there
was little cause for apprehension.
Every depositor will be paid 100 cents
on a dollar without doubt.
Business at First National.
The failure Of the Dan Head & Co.
bank has had a remarkable effect on
the business at the First National bank,
There being but one bank now, OF
course all the business goes there ard
it is making the people sweat in this
warm weather to get away with it. A
very large number of new accounts
have been opened and the way in
which the money has been pouring in
there would make a mans eyes stick
out. The bank people there are high
~ pleased with their business, and, no
doubt, think much of it will stick by
them when the other bank resumes.
