ed to start an additional state bank at
the stockyaTds and TO og down 10 Meds-
cine Lodge and start another bank in
the home town Of President Chandler OF
the Kansas National.
For several days the fight between the
national banks Of the city was the CHIEF
topic Of conversation. When the people
began to talk the bankers kept quiee,
and all at once not one Of them had
word to say about the stockyards bank.
There seemed to be & truce and a cessa-
ton Of hostilities, and the national banks
all at once became more than ever friend
ly. They now have nothing but good
words TO speak of each other.
Some kind Of an understanding has evi-
IDENTIFY been reached. Some or the people
in position TO know say that there VIII
be no new bank started at the stock
yards. and others who ought 10 know as
much predict that the stocKyards bans
will be opened in due time and that al
the national banks OF the city viii have
an equal interest in it,
a reporter for the Eagle tried 10 find
out something yesterday that would give
him an understanding OF what would be
the outcome of the stockyards bank,
but his success was not very brilliant.
Cashier Elsberry Martin OF the Kansas
National said the weather was very
warm and he was not the least bit in
clined TO talk about the bank. The
officers Of the other national banks seem
to have forgotten that they ever heard
anything about the stockyards bank.
IN the meantime visitors and shippers
who come TO the yards put their noses
against the plate glass windows and look
at the nice bank room and the massive
brick vault in the rear. and ask: When
