THE HERALD WILL
DEMAND FAIR DEAL
Very truly yours,
f. e. COMPTON.

Durango, Colo. Jan. 30 1908.
To Depositors Colorado State Bank OF
Durango:
A proposition has been submitted to
us for approval by Freeman, Chapman
and Eldredge which purports to be
fore you sign the same. we want to
call your attention to some OF the mat
ters discussed here in reference to it
and ask you to withhold your consent
thereto until a full discussion can be
mad.
Among these objections are the fol
lowing:
The whole consideration of the
agreement is that Freeman and Chap
man be appointed receivers and re
main such until the entire matter is
closed and If for any reason they
should be removed, the agreement is
forfeited and the property is to be re-
turned to Chapman and Freeman.
The agreement provides for making
deeds to Freeman and Chapman as re-
ceivers, but the property does not be-
come part of the assets of the bank
What authority has the court over as
sets not belonging to the bank? Will
these at the end of three years have
to be foreclosed in court as mort
cages, and how long will this take? ?
VIII the creditors, who are secured by
collateral holding some S160,0O00O Sc
curities for sS7,O0O.O0 Indebtedness
sign this agreement or will these par
ties agree to protect the collateral?
Can you AFFORD to take a bond and
wait ten years? If not will not these
bonds pass into the hands of a few
large creditors and you have that
much less property? Is the agree
ment not drawnsin such way, that If
they should become weary of the con
tract. they might get some one out of
the many depositors who sign this
agreement to commence suit and then
declare forfeiture reverting the
property to themselves and quit?
Their personal guarantee does not
add anything, as each is individually
liable under the law for the full
amount of the debt. At the end OF
three years there can be no further
prosecutions criminally.
Should not Freeman give up the
$4,000 bonds, which are held for an
alleged loan of S17,5Oo from his broth.
er?
Mr.. ]. A. Pulliam, the only lawyer
on our committee. we understand, re-
fused to sign this agreement, although
Freeman aud his crowd had Russell
g. Reese Ritter and Buchanan of this
city, and George Q. Richmond of Den
yer working on the contract for some
time.
We are not protesting against set |
tlement, but we think they should play |
fair. Let them place sufficient prop |
erty in the hands of the court to make |
the bank solvent and let 1t be done so |
the court will have full charge and SO
there cannot he further litigation.
Respectfully submitted.

THAT BOGUS NOTE.

We did not discover anything about
the 81 900 not in yesterdays Herald.
Sunday Mornings Democrat.
Again the morning paper falsifies
as The Herald did contain reference
We again reiterate the statement that
Day gave Higgins his note for $1,000,
that 1t was given to the Colorado
State bank as collateral. and that Day
placed a $4,000 mortgage on his plant
and gloried in his method Of beating
both Higgins and the bank. There is
plenty of proof regarding this. OF
course when the note was found
worthless 1t was thrown back on Mr..
Higgins and we understand he settled
with Day for 500 or such matter.
hut as TO the latter amount we cannot
state, but the men under oath might
do so. Again, Mr.. Day asks anyone
to point to any obligation which he
has failed to keep. On Dec. 14th Day
made the following guarantee:
The Democrat will guarantee
depositors of the Smelter City
State bank TO the extent of ST.
500 against loss.
Has anyone noticed Day doing any
thing to make good? Further Mr..
Day has note of $175 past due and
in the doubtful column Of the Smelter
City State bank. to say nothing of an
overdraft of the Democrat Printing
Co., which Rowe Pingrey would like
to collect.
Yes. Mr., Depositor. continue to take
stock in Mr.. Days guarantee and you
will land in the soup.
And for fear some may forget the
position Day took only few weeks
ago we again publish the following
from his issue of Dec. ls:
Durango Democrat positively
disagrees with Judge Pixies ap.
pointments as receivers for the
busted and fractured banks-the
selection of o. f. (Tony) Boyle
was an error, as he is reputed to
be large stakeholder in the
wrecked concern. Mr.. Boyle.
while personal friend, is not
noted for his magnanimity, or
excess of blood circulation In mat
ters financial. He has no busi-
ness in that position, he is among
the also guilty" aad the deposit
ors should oust him. voluntarily,
or legally. His selection is attrib-
uted to the fine Italian hand of b.
w Ritter who seems to have got
ten next. and in preference TO
those who are equipped by exper-
ience for the position of bank ex-
aminer. and those who have 10
financial interests in either OF the
state banks.

The two Pagosa Springs papers are
urging the depositors of the Colorado
State bank branch at that place to
sign the agreement arrived at last
week and word comes from there that
fully 95 per cent will do so. 1t will

pie were hot for segregation a few

were in a jumbled condition. Now
that satisfactory agreement has

TROPHY FOR ANDERSON
James Anderson Wins Match Against
Col Bogey on Kenosha Club Links

James Anderson won the match
against DOGGY on the links of the Ke-
nosha Country Club on Saturday af-
ternoon defeating the mythical Colonel
by a score Of three up. Chester D.
Barnes was second in the match with
a score of 1 up. The match was play
ed for a trophy offered by E. L. Grant
and more than twenty players of the
club took part in the contest. The
scores were unusually good Anderson
had a gross score of SO for the eighteen
holes and his handicap of ten gave him
net of 10. Barnes had the same ret
score with handicap of 2 strokes.
feter Fisher was third in the race with
a net score of So and handicap of 10.
The victory of Anderson came some
thing as a surprise to the old timers
as this is his first year on the course
and the showing that he made was a
decidedly good one.

BOUGHT 566e AUTOS
Wisconsin People Invested Literally in
Chug- Chug Cars During Year

Automobiles sales to the number OF
1868 were made in Wisconsin for
the year ending Aug. Is, 1908, and Ii
censes were issued to the same number
indicating that all the machines are in
active use.
This represents a substantial gain
over 1907 during winch time 1852
rlachines were disposed of thus MAX
ing the total number of autos sold in
the state for the past two years reach
the large figures of $50.
The auto license law has been OPP
.perative in Wisconsin since 1903 and
each year since it has been possible
to know accurately the number of ma
chimes sold in this state. Every year
since has recorded a steady increase
in numbers and dealers expect to see
this years enormous total beaten in
1909.
