The Randall COmpany's
Bank at Eureka
SuSpendS.
Collapse fastened by Recent
Large Withdrawals of
Funds.
Other Financial Institutions In the
Northern Town Not
Affected.

EUREKA, CAL, April 1.-THE Randall
Banking Company closed the doors of its
bank here at IL o'clock this morning. 1t
had been rumored in financial circles for
several days past that the institution was
in a bad condition financially. The recent
departure of Cashier J. S. Murray and the
election of his successor tended to in
crease the suspicion and in consequence
large deposirors had been gradually with
drawing funds. The extent of the failure
is not known at present. The bank Of
ticials have posted a notice that depositors
would be paid in full. All sorts of rumors
are going the rounds and the truth can
not be reached to-day. The Bank Com
missioner will take charge, when state
meut of the assets and liabilities will be
made public.
The bank, the officers statement an
nounced, holds ample securities but it
will take time TO realize upon them. The
directors have taken steps to obtain the
necessary funds to meet the liabilities.
The closing was made necessary by reason
of the business depression and the diff
Guilty in making collections upon secuTi-
ties ordinarily considered good as cash on
hand. They ask the creditors of the bank
to assist the directors in their efforts to
realize upon the assets as soon as pos
sib e.
All the other banks here are on SOL
vent basis. The humboldt County Bank,
the Bank of Eureka and two savings
banks are perfectly solvent, and the Ran
dali failure will not affect them in the
least.
The directors of the defunct bank are
F. Korbell, ]. NJ. Sass, Stephen Hill, Da-
vid Evans W. II. Johnston. George A
Kellogg, E. FL. Vance. ]. S. Murray and
a. w. Randall. The president is A w.

port of the Bank Commissioners, as fol-
