OF A WOMAN
Causes Run OF John s
Cook Bank Of
Goi6field

GOLDFIELD, Oct 1G.-Through
the ignorance of a woman in this
city run was made on the John S.
Cook & Company bank in this city
yesterday. The run lasted for several
hours, but was made mostly by small
depositors. In all about $4,000 was
drawn from the institution while the
deposits made during the same period
were nearly double that amount.
Other banks in the city offered their
support il necessary but the bank
stated that they had plenty of money
to cover all deposits. A statement
was issued during the day and freely
circulated by the State Bank Exam
iner to the effect that the institution
was in a perfectly solvent condition
and could at any time pay their de-
posits. This tended to stop the run
on the institution and today it is
regarded as a joke. Many OF the
depOsitors who drew their money are
today deposiJing it again.
Several stories as TO the origin OF
the affair are being told, but the cor
rect one came 10 light last night
y woman presented 4 check callinG
for twelve dollars TO the bank Mon
day which was drawn by a man hav
ing no funds in the bank. The
check was returned marked nc
funds and the woman thinking tha
this meant that the baak had NJ
money to pay the check with immedi
ately got busy with her friends, will
the result that a story became prey
lent on the street that the bank wa
out of commission. This caused
stampede among hundreds OF TIL
small depositors and when the banl
opened it's doors yesterday mornin
to business hundreds were lined u
in front of the doors and the run wa
on,

ty buL most OF them uare killed or

the heat from the burning mills eX-
ploded the giant powder magazine,
80 minutes later. destroying the town
by the conclusion. many Of those en-
gagged IN rescue work were badly in

tendent Monahan of the plant was
killed while in his Office, and his

That the death list is not far greater
is due to the fact that the people of
