Guthrie, Okla.-Reader, did you ever
see a notice like the above posted on the
door of any busted bank No, you
never did, till this one. This is an exact
photograph of the notice which the Ok
lahoma state bank commissioner, in
pursuance of the laws of Oklahoma,
posted on the door Of the International
Bank of Colgate, Okla. By the end of
the second day the depositors had all
proved their Claims and received their
money, except a few who lived from
six TO fourteen miles from town, and
whose checks were made out and left
in the hands of another bank to be de-
liyered when it was convenient for the
owners to call for them.
The statement made by the bank COM
missioner to the state banking board
was as follows: THE International
Bank of Colgate was closed because its
active managing officers had violated
the state law by borrowing the follow
ing sums. principal and interest: The
president, $70e7; the cashier, S4,614."
The bank commissioner assembled the
board of directors and demanded that
this borrowed money be replaced which,
after reasonable time given. they fail
ed 10 do. Had this money Been re-
placed, these two officers would have
been removed, and the board of directors
might have elected new officers. and
the bank continued in operation. On
account of the failure to replace the
money the bank commissioner closed
the bank at 2:15 D. m. and posted on
the door the above notice.
The bank commissioner found that
the deposits were S36,744.93; that there
was cash on hand. $9,574.67; due from
other banks. s7.564.03
Thursday afternoon, Friday and Sat
urday sufficed to completely liquidate
the affairs of the bank so far as proving
and paying depositors was concerned.
The bank commissioner drew on the
state guaranty fund for S24,S4373 to
furnish additional cash necessary to
pay all depOsitors. The remaining
amount due from other banks and paper
readily collectible, the state guaranty
fund will be replaced within thirty
days. Therefore, no assessment on the
secured banks is required.
The bank commissioner had the two
offending officers arrested; they are
now out on bond awaiting trial. 1t is
the opinion of the bank commissioner
that after reimbursing the guaranty
fund the final liquidation of the bank S
assets will pay the stockholders about
80 cents on the dollar.
