Peterson and First John Doe, true name
unknown, the duly elected, qualified
and acting directors of the said corpora
ton, T. B. Hickey; and then the sheriffs
and constables of Ormsby, Nye and Es-
meralta counties The county officers
are made defendants because of the
fact that number of attachments have
been filed on the bank and the plaintiffs
in the present case want all of such at
tachments dissolved and the persons at
taching to take their chances with the
remainder of the creditors of the bank.
The complaint sets out that Bank Ex-
aminer Major H. Miller first examined
into the condition of the bank immedi-
ately after it closed and reported that
the bank was insolvent and was unsafe
to transact business. That the bank
closed on October 23rd, 1907 and has re-
manned closed since that time. The
complaint also sets out that the total Ii
abilities of the bank are 81, $50, 372 while
the total assets only amount to 81 ,229, 303
or Whereabouts, thus the bank is insol-
vent, according to the state bank COM
mission to the amount of $451, O69. The
amount of insolvency Us set out in the
complaint is about that reported by
Bank Examiner Miller when he made
his last report short time before he
resigned his Office several months ago

WHO BEAT THE BATTLESHIPS

A republican paper, with no sense of
humor, headlines it's Washington report
with the declaration that the democrats
beat the presidents desire for four
battleships instead of two. The humor
of the headlines is in the fact the re-
publicans have IL majority Of both
houses of congress-, while the democrats
are in hopeless minority and carry
about as much weight i'll IL decisive
party vote as Il kindergarten teacher in
Il prize ring.
Before the batteship question came to
vote in the house, Mr.. Hale, in the
senate, had given notice that bill for
four battleships could not carry, per-
sonally he wanted to limit new con-
struction to one battleship but com
promised on two to avert difficulty. In
the house with the leaders yowling
about probable deficits and certain need
of economy, the members had to choose
between money for the public buildings
rs having more campaign influence. So
strenuous was the struggle between the
president and his party in congress that
the president threatened to veto the
public building bill, the great pie dis
tribution, unless he got his warships
The threat was answered by frosty
vote and the defeat of one of his pet
measures
That is I'LL there is to the talk about
democratic defeat of the battleship pro-
pOsal. Less than IL hundred republicans
voted for the presidents bill, which
shows about the measure of his strength
with his own party in the mousse when it
comes to il showdown, and the pictur-
csquc feature OF it was the fact that
the president had to depend upon Hob
son. II southern democrat to do the
talking for his ships. Salt Lake Herald
