FIRST NATIONAL
BANK CASE BEGUN
Action to Collect on Old Notes
Aggregating $4,000
Commenced.
CASE TO BE a LEGAL BATTLE
Both Sides Arc Prepared to Fight the
Issues to a Finish-case Involves
Handling Of Securities Given to Or.
George Click, a Former President Of
tho Bank.

What is commonly termed the First
National bank case, an action brought
by Frank Woodbury., as trustee for the
estate of his father, Fred J. Woodbury.,
of Pasadena, Cal, and J. P. Woodbury.
of New York City, against DR.. George
| Click, n former president of the old
| First National, and others, was begun
before Judge C. b. Bradshaw in the dis
trict court at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
| In certain respects this is one Of the
most important and one of the most
complicated cases in equity that has
been brought to trial in the local court
for many terms.
Suing for $4,000.
The suit was brought against
CHARLES Click, A. G. Click, Fred Click,
Charles j. Lander, T. j. Fletcher and
the latter's wife, Mrs. Alice Fletcher.
and the Holland Land and Lot COM
pany in addition to DR.. George Click.
The suit was brought on five notes,
aggregating $4,000, which were the
property of the bank at the time 1t got
into difficulty in May, 1907. Frank
Woodbury., acting for the stockholders,
under the contract he had with D. T.
Denmead just prior to the reorganiza-
ton, took them up. The plaintiff al
leges that Dr. George Click deposited
insurance policies of $4,000 to secure
these notes, and because of this In
surance DR.. George Clicks children are
made defendants in the suit.
Defense On the Insurance.
The defense on the insurance is that
all Of it is made payable to Mrs Jane
Click, wife of DR.. George Click, and
that for that reason it cannot be
touched.
that they signed the notes as surety
for DR.. George Click, at the time he
was president of the bank, and that
DR.. Click deposited 100000 worth of
industrial stock as collateral to secure
the debt 1t is also their defense that
this collateral has been sold, but the
proceeds from it have not been APP
piled on the debt and that If it had
been the debt would have been paid
long ago. as
Did Not Know Stock Was Sold.
The defense makes the point that
the note makers did not know that the
collateral had been sold, and they
signed the renewals to the notes in
ignorance of that fact. Also. it is con-
tended, that the directors of the bank
continued to carry these notes for the
purpose of increasing the apparent
assets of the bank and permitting
them paying larger dividends to the
stockholders. 1t is alleged, in addition,
that the bank released DIR. George Click
from any claim and does not assert any
claim against him which, it is argued,
releases the sureties.
In addition it is contended that for
fourteen years the bank paid interest
on its own paper and there was never
any demand made for either principal
or interest from the. note makers, who
are now the defendants.

THE MADNESS OF CHRISTIANITY.
Unusual Subject Of Great Sermon at
Christian Church.

Unusual Subject Of Great Sermon at
Christian Church.
At the Christian church last night
Evangelist Gilliland preached a strong
sermon on the Madness of Christian
ity" He said that the Wisdom of God
had always been considered foolshness
by men. The foolishness of God is
wiser than the wisdom of men, In turn
the world pronounced Jesus. Paul, and
all the martyrs and heroes of the faith
mad" Christianity is not alone in this
but every great scientist has at first
been called mad" by men. Every man
who has ever done anything for the
good OF the world has at some time
been called mad"
What is needed today is a greater
abandon to the gospel Of Christ. Men
must be willing to be called fools for
Christs sake. A thorough conservation
of our lives will be sure to earn for us
the score Of some people, but 1t Is bet
ter ito be mad on the side OF Christ
and all good than to be mad on the side
of the SCOOTER and infldel and libertine,
and exert an influence to degrade men,
The sermon closed with a strong APP
peal which was responded to by four
persons confessing their faith in Christ
