Order Will Take Chances With Other
Charlton Bank Creditors

Charlton. Oct. 29.-The suit of the
Modern Woodmen of America to estab-
fish its s35O.000 deposit in tie defunct
First National bank of Charlton as Il
preferred claim has been dropped. fol-
lowing conference of the interested
attorneys and the receiver, Under an
agreement which was reached this
$350o00 deposit win take its place with
the other deposits-neither better nor
worse--and ii will share pro rata with
them in the distribution of the as
sets.
In this connection it was announced
also that Receiver Jamison would pay
the first dividend to depositors in an
other week or ten days. He has on
hand approximately s25O.o0O for the
% per cent of the claims. 1t is ex-
pected that enough more will be real
lied from the various assets to make
an additional 10 per cent dividend later
on, a total of 40 per cent, or about
100000 in all.
The adjustment of the Modern Wood
men claim and its relegation as q
common claim with the others is fortu-
nate for depositors. Had 1t been al
lowed as a preferred claim it would
have consumed all burt about $4,000 OF

tuition, leaving but very small per
cent dividend for ordinary depositors.
