of notes sent from Tonopah to Car
City, but McQuillan could no
specify and Chartz had an agreeable
smile on his face. He asked NC
Quillan il the minutes show under
what conditions Golden was to act
in reforming the branch banks into
national banks, but McQuillan said
that such a matter should be IN
black and white and il it was not,
he couldn't say why it wasn't.
Then Chartz discovered that the
regular manner Of offering the min
ute book as testimony had not been
complied with, and he required that
the book be offered regularly. 1t
was handed over for him to exam
inc and read if he so desired, but
Golden took one glance at 1T and
Chartz admitted it as proper evil
dence. Boyd attempted TO get Nc
Quillan to testify as to when the
directors decided to turn the var
ious branches into national banks,
but NeQuillan could shed no light
on the matter other than to say the
matter had been discussed infor-
mally, but not at a directors meet
ing.
BOYD then read an extract from
the meeting Of January 16, AND
from the continued meeting Of jan
uary 90, 1909, at which a resolu-
ton was offered by y. G. Sweeney
a director, reciting that whereas
the directors had determined to nat
I ionaIize the Carson City and Gold
field branches and to abandon the
Manhattan and Wonder branches,
- f....I -e IfrarfnPg GhOnl0 ne
reduced from II to Z in number,
I and the resolution was passed. A
motion was also passed appointing
a committee TO nationalize the
banks and To abandon the two
branches as mentioned, and MS
committee WIS instructed to pre-
sent a report for ~ratit1catlon ana
apuroyal by the directors. Boyd
also read an extract showing that
the Carson City property was PIC
to the Fret National bank for $lS,--
696.69. but McQuillan could not
say whether the Nye and OrmsDy
County bank got cash or STOCK TOT
the amount. but it was his impress
sion that it got stock.
McQuillan questioned the correct
ness of the minutes wherein they
show that the expenses of Jack Mar
shall, who was sent to Carson CITY
from Tonopah to open the Carson
City National bank were ordered
paid by a motion of the Nye ano
Ormsby directors on his introduc-
/, ton, by the First National bank.
After some more questions along
t the same line, Boyd asked for the
: Sweeney resolution again and start
: ed to examine McQuillan on it, wheI
Chartz objected.
ooh, it hurts, does it?' exclaimed
Boyd.
