INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, Nov. l4.-There is
intense excitement at English and throughout
Crawford and Perry counties over the col
lapse of four banks, which will affect nearly
every man of means in the two counties and
seriously cripple the local Office holders, IN
clading the County Treasures and Township
Trustees. all of whom deposited trust funds
with the broken banks. The crash came
without warming for no one suspected that
the four institutions which have gone under
were not on a safe financial footing.
As late as Friday afternoon each ofthe banks
continued to receive deposits, and when they
failed to open their doors yesterday morning,
there was CONSERVATION among the business
men. some of whom had deposited so closely
Friday afternoon that they did not even have
change to begin business with yesterday morn
ing.

and r. H. Wilett. One had been established
at English. another at Marengo, another at
CanneIlton and fourth at Leavenworth.
The capital stock of each was $50, 600 and the
deposits averaged about $4,000, being heav-
lest at this season of the year, when county
taxes have all been paid and the Treasurer
has deposited the money. The revenue col
lected for school purposes was all on deposit
in the banks, and it is now believed that all
of the public schools in the two counties will
have to be closed, as the trustees have lost all
their money.
