Sen. JAMESON
is RECEIVER
WILL HAVE CHARGE OF THE
WINDING UP OF CHARLTON
DEFUNCT BANK.

Charlton, Feb IS. "A permanent
receiver for the defunct First Nation
al bank of Charlton, in the person OF
Senator Jas H. Jamison of Osceola,
has been named. The appointment
was secured through the efforts OF
Col. w. P. Hepburn of this district.
1t was expected that H. NJ BostWick,
the temporary receiver, would be
named as he had received the en-
dorsement of the depositors, who be-
lieved that as he was stranger
here he would be fair and impartial
in settling up the affairs of the bank.
But Col. Hepburn wanted someone ap.
pointed from the Eighth district and
secured the appointment OF Senator
Jamison, who is well known here His
wife was formerly Miss Margaret
Robbins of this city. He is well quail
flied for the position and no doubt will
fulfill his duties in an able manner.
Mr.. Bostwick will resume his
former duties of state bank
examiner as soon as Mr.. Jamison as
sumes the position here, and with his
wife and daughter, Currence, will
probably return to their home IN
Woodbine. They have made host OF
warm friends here during their stay
in Charlton and their departure will
be deeply regretted. Mr.. Jamison and
his wife will probably move here, as
it will take several years to wind up
the affairs of the bank. Their many
friends here will welcome them to
Charlton. The affairs of the First Ma
tional are progressing slowly, but
nothing can be done in the way of
paying dividend until the preferred
suits are settled. If they were out OF
the way ten per cent could be paid
now. Receiver Bostwick has been max
ing arrangements to have the prefer
red claims all tried in one suit in the
federal court, If possible If all could
be tried in one suit much time and
expense could be saved.
