BUTTE BANK IN BAD SHAPE.
Investigation Of Its Affairs Shows Assets
That Are Worthless.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Comptrol.
Ter of the Currency Ridgely today
made the following statement of the
affairs of the defunct Aetna Banking
Il Trust company of Butte, Montana:
IA report received at his Office from
the receiver of the Aetna Banking &
Trust company at Butte. Mont, indi.
Gates that the conditions Of affairs
there are nearly as bad as at the
branch in this city.
1.-THE deposits, including those rep.
resented by certificates, exceeded
$3.50. 900: other liabilities indicate that
the total will be nearly $4,000 The
receiver found only $4,000 cash in the
bank. An asset appearing on the
books as a liability Of the New York
Office for $780, 600 is worthless, as no
assets whatever have been found at
IS w all street, New York, where the
bank formerly conducted some sort
of a branch bank.
"The branch at Washington is
charged with $4,000, which Is worth
less. Assets listed as stock and Sc
curities, amounting to Sl1S, 200 are
probably worthless.
"There appears to be nothing among
the assets Of substantial value, unless
it can be found among the installment
loans On real estate, of the nominal
value of SAC, 500.
"That the money Of the depositors
Is stolen Is apparent. Where 1t has
gone is not so easy to discover. The
officers whose duty it is to prosecute
the criminals have been notified a,
Butte and in this city and are coop.
Grating with the receiver to apprehend
and punish the guilty"

It belonged to theILutsne. which was

the end OF the eighteenth century,
when we We're at war with Holland.
AS 1t was customary in those days to
send bullion and specie by men-of-war,
the Lutine carried valuable consign-
ment of specie, and the underwriters
at L1oyd's were able to arrange with
the Dutch government to salve the
cargo and recoup themselves for their
loss on insurance. Over ESQ 900 ster-
ling was recovered, and amongst
other relics brought to shore was the
Lutines bell, to ring out good cheer
for anxious underwriters who hear
the safe arrival proclaimed by Lloyd's
crier as silence follows the ringing OF

particularly adapted to the Campbell

The Campbell system IN nutsneu
is the making OF the SOIL natural
