POLITICAL HENCHMAN
MADE RECEIVER

The depositors of the State Bank g.
Trust Company are not likely to grow
wildly enthusiastic oyer the appoint
ment of the receiver named yesterday
by the district court. As one man
expressed it., the court would have done
better by turning over the shattered
remains of the assets to Mr.. Thomas B.
Hickey and allow him to distribute
what he pleased. There is no reflection
on the personal honesty Or integrity of
the, appointee but another, man not SO
intimately associated with the political
cabal at Carson City would have suited
the people q great deal better. The
receiver has b9en Deputy State Treas
urcr. whose employer is largely respon-
sible for the delay in the appointment
of Il receiver. 1t has been shown by
testimony in three counties that the
State Treasurer had some kind of an
understanding with Hickey ut the time
of the failure by which the State was
guaranteed payment in full, or granted
protection to cover the deposit of the
State funds that was not extended to
other depositors. This fact was estab,
lished so clearly to the satisfaction OF
the Grand Jury of Esmeralda county
that the system came i'll for scathine
comment. Now that the court falls
into the same error it can not expect to
have the Endorsement of the people
whose funds have gone to pay off the
large depositors, and through whose
settlements Hickey boasted that he had
cleaned up Il nice fortune.
