RUN ON A CHICAGO BANK.
The Strike is Responsible for the Un-
easiness of the Depositors.-
Force of TeIIers Doubled.

Chicago Illinois, August, 5, 1904
A run began today on the Drovers'
Trust and Savings Bank, located at the
main entrance of the stock yards. Ed
ward Tilden, vice-president of the
bank said: "As long as the depositors
come they. will get their money. The
demand is senseless and is caused by
the general excitement at the yards. "
Shortly after the bank opened, a
crowd of people appeared with their
deposit books and forming line de-
manded their money. The bank began
paying and the officials declared that
every depositor who wanted his money
would get it in full. Vice-president
Tilden declared that the run was start
ed by the statement made by irrespon-
sible persons that the bank had loaned
all it's money to the packers for the
purpose of beating the strikers. Many
strikers had deposits, but the majority
of people demanding their money were
small tradesmen doing business in the
stock yards vicinity and working peo-
ple not connected with the packing
plants.
The Drovers' Trust and Savings
Bank is located in the same building
with the Drovers' Deposit National
Bank, it's local correspondent. It's cap
ital is 100000, and its surplus and
profits are named at $4,000. 1t has a
long list of depositors. When the run
began, the officials doubled the force
of paying tellers and met all withdraw
al demands. Both banks are located
in the same room, and this fact helped
to give rise to the reports that there
was a run on the national bank. The
run, however, is exclusively on the saw
iings bank
