A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
VIII Pay D-positor- In Fun.

There will be no receiver appointed
for the private bank of j. j. Smyth, of
Stockton, which closed it's doors q
few days ago. The bank commission
er advised the depositors not to take
the affairs of the bank into court, to
be drawn through an eyoeusive re-
ownership, but to name sne cashier
of the defunct institution as their
agent, to wind up it's affairs.
A strange feature of the failure of
this bank is the fact that when it
closed it's doors it had over 60 per
cent. of its deposits on hand. It
owns bank building, carried on the
books for 81 900, which will be sold
in few days for $500. Within 90
days the depositors will receive their
money in full, the bank commissioner
says.
