narge of the institution. Mr..
l50fer Will examine the bank as soon
as possible and will then make a re-
port to the State Bank Commission
in regard to its financial condition.
The bank, was ordered closed by
two of the directors of the institution
Tex Rickard and Senator Pyne. This
action was taken by these men upon
>being informed by the cashier that
ofIIx, 800 remained in the vaults
AS soon as these gentlemen learned
OF this state of affairs they imedi-
ately went to Reno where they went
into consultation with President
Prentice of the bank who was in
Reno atteIp pting to raise the neces-
sary funds to carry on the business
of the bank and tide it over the
present trouble.
Before leaving Rawhide the two
directors had discovered that Prem
tice had loaned the Bank of Wonder
of which he is also the president
$11, 900 and also that he had made
like loan to a mining company in
which he is also interested. They
asked him to get these loans and
return them to the bank, but he
stated that he had been unable to
raise the money. When this state
ment was made Rickard and Pyne
telegraphed the cashier to keep the
bank closed until further orders.
Bank Examiner Hofer was wired
to as was also attorney general Stod-
dard aud these two gentlemen i'm
mediately went to Reno. A meeting
was held last night at which Presi-
dent Prentice, Directors Rickard and
Pyne, Examiner Hofer General Stod-
dard and Attorney Huskey OF the
Rawhide Bank were present. At the
meeting the president stated that as
s. near as he could estimate the assets
amounted to $4,000 in cash and about
s37 900 worth of loans and the liabil
ities approximated about S41 900. He
stated at the meeting that he hat
done everything in his power to save
,he institution and had tried to Sc
cure assistance from the Reno bank
ers but had met with no success. H
hot 1,n of hn
arose from the fact that fully 900
people had left the camp in the las
couple of months and that they ha
withdrawn their accounts from tn
pank depicting the cash on hand.
Owinge to the fact that Prenti
is the President of the Wonder Ban
Mr.. Hofer was. advised to examin
that institution and report to tn
bank commission as to its condition
Mr.. Prentice was also informed ths
unless he knew the bank to be
perfectly solvent and sound cond
ton that if he received any futur
deposits he would do SO at his Ow
peril. 1t 5 the general lmpresslo
that the Wonder Bank will close il
doors until after an examination
made by Examiner Hofer.
The directors of the closed bar
are: Russell Prentice, Presiden
Sidwell, vice-president; George
Pyne, G. L. Rickarl and J. H. Luedk

lished, resulting in reducing the de-
posits of the bank down to about $780,
900. The suit was compromised with
Pelton.
Since that time the bank has grad
ually lost it's deposits. On June 6
last Aldrich resigned as cashier,
George Redway, being appointed by
Prentice as his successor.
When Prentice came to us to get
their subscriptions, Prentice told us
that there had been $4,000 of the
posed that it had been.
On last Saturday, June IS, at about
noon, Redway came to Rickard and
said that the First Bank of Rawhide
was short of cash He was asked
where Prentice was and was told that
Prentice was in Reno trying to raise
money Asked how much cash was
on hand he said about $4,000. Rick
ard then went out to get Pyne and
James H. Luedke. another director.
and told him about the shortage, and
we three arranged a meeting for that
. the bank closed.
At that hour we went into the bank
and examined its securities. We
! found deposits amounting to about
s40151 and loans s44.36O. Out of the
money on deposit $4,000 belonged t.
Tex Rickard and the Northern saloon,
which is owned by Rickard. We also
/ found an item of S11 900 which Prem
tice had loaned to ,he Wonder Bank
and Trust Company, and an item OF
another S11 900 more which had been
paid by Prentice upon mining claim
called the "Air Ship Fraction" pro-
NOTED by H. H. Dorsey, who seemed
from letters in the bank to be g
partner of Prentice.
At this meeting Of us three di
rectors it was concluded that two O
us, Pyne and Rickard, go to Reno
and see Prentice and endeavor to ge
back the s11t0O owed by the WOnde
Bank and Trust Company. and th'
S11 900 paid on that mining property
We thereupon proceeded to Reno il
an automobile.
