TWO BIG FAILURES.

A Kansas Land and Mortgage Company
Goes to the Wall and the Oldest National
Bank in Montana Breaks.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5iSActing Comp
troller Coffin was yesterday advised of
the failure of the First national bank
of Helena, Mont This bank is one of
the largest in the west. The liabilities
are stated at SO, 45s, 900, the lmount
individual deposits being S2,980
Bank Examiner Flynn has been led
in charge of the bank. It's 4re is
due to the inability of it. 4iccrs to
realize on it's assets. This bank was
the pioneer national bank of Montana.
1t was organized in 1866. Ex-Gov. S.
s. Hauser is president, E. d. Edgerton
vice president, and F. Cape, cashier.
The paid up capital stock is $500, 00o.
The bank is the United States de-
pository, with large United States
funds on hand. Its directors are among
the strongest men in Helena. The A.
]. Davis estate, famous for the litiga-
tion over the wills left by Davis, owns
55 per cent. of the capital stock
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept, = United
States District Judge Foster, yester-
day, upon the application of the Girard
Life Insurance, Annuity and Trust
Co., of Philadelphia, placed the j. B.
Watkins Land and Mortgage Co., of
Lawrence, in the hands of M. Summer
field and j. B. Watkins, of Lawrence,
and John f. Switzer, of Topeka, as re-
ceivers. The liabilities are $4,5OO,OOO,
consisting chiefly of debenture mort
cages on farms in the western states.
The particular claim upon which suit
was instituted was for S4s, 900 deben-
ture bonds, upon which the interest
has been defaulted since 1896 Sam
Bishop, of Lawrence, attorney for the
company, says the assets will very
nearly cover the liabilities.
The company has been struggling
for existence for eight or ten years.
In 1888 it was put into receivership,
but five years later it was turned over
to its owners again, with Mr.. Watkins
as president. But financial conditions
were not favorable, and now it will
probably be wound up. Its debent-
ures are mostly held in the east and in
Europe
j. B. Watkins has been a business
man in Lawrence for many years and
accumulated a'large fortune, which, IT
is claimed, has not been impaired by
the failure of this company. He has
been the promoter of many enterprises
in the west and southwest, among
Others land and railroad project in
Louisiana. He bought several million
acres of public land in that state and
by traversing portion of it with a
railroad he turned immigration in that
direction. He called his railroad the
Kansas City, Watkins g. Gulf.
