life and property are at stake. Money
cannot bring back the lives OF those you

COUNTY INVOLVED
cerro cordo County Had $4,000 in tho
Wrecked Meservey Bank - The
Amount Was in tho Shape of Tax
Receipts and Other Funds.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Nov. 22.-It is said that
the county ia Interested in the defunct
Meservey bank to the amount Of $4,000.
This amount is in the shape of tax re-
ceipts and other funds which has en-
gagged the business Of the two concerns
in the money affairs of the county.
The county has had an account with
the bank for some years. 1t was Gus
tomary for land and other property
owners to pay taxes into the bank in
stead Of coming to Mason City as is
the custom in all parts of the county,
where bank is located. Some of this
money remained there at the time the
bank made the assignment. 1t is also
said that the failure has involved the
school fund to the end that no money
has been paid from the fund since last
April, and it Is also said that the school
district Of Meservey has some $500 In
money which is due from the county.
The county treasurer holds this
against the amount involved In the
bank. The matter involves a nice
point in law and 1t may be possible
to get some rulings from the court to
determine what disposition shall be
made. The bondsmen in the matter
OF the school and county are respon-
sible and the county will lose nothing
by the failure of the bank.
