now making fortunes from oranges or
grapes.

OK. BANK GUARANTY
FUND is EXHAUSTED.
Columbia Run Leaves Only Few
Dollars to Meet Another
Failure.
LAW PREVENTS PANIC.

Guthrie, Ok, October. Practically
all Of the State bank guaranty fund
was exhausted in paying off the de-
posters of the Columbia Bank and
Trust Company at Oklahoma City,
and only a few dollars would be i'm
mediately available if another bank
should fail.
Even the assessment of three
fourths of per cent, authorized by
the Banking Board, has not been levi
ed yet, and possibly will not be if it
can be avoided, as the temper of some
OF the State bankers is rather uncer-
tain, and it is considered highly de-
sirable to avoie all frictions as far as
possible in an important crisis like
this.
If another failure should occur an
emergency assessment would, of
course, be necessary.
Present indications are that the
situation can be wound up without af-
fecting iniuriously the status Of bank
ing guarantee law. The failed bank
had only about $4,000 of individual
deposits, and enough cash was avail
able, with the assistance Of the guar
anty fund to pay them Immediately.
The remainder of the banks de.
posts consist of reserves from small.
er banks over the State. They will
probably have to wait some days for
their money, although efforts are be.
ing made to take care of any that may
be hard pressed for funds.

Borrowed $4,000 on Forged Deed.

Hume Telephone.
Sam Hatcher, Of Paola, Kas, came
here about two weeks ago and agreed
to purchase Arthur Wallis farm at $68
an acre. Mr.. Vail furnished him an
abstract of title to the land, and the
stranger said he would return on the

But before leaving for home he had
Mr.. M. L. Beadles, a notary public
certify to a paper Of some kinda
power of attorney.
On Tuesday Mr.. Vail was informed
that Hatcher took out mortgage for
49, 600 on the farm in question, at Ne
vada. He produced a deed from Mr..
Vail good enough to fool the loan
agents at Nevada, but where did he
get it?

at Nevada looking up the matter. We
have not received all the particulars,

ing cared for may, however, cause
trouble with the others. The guar
anty law has apparently had the effect
of causing greater confidence among
the public generally than is usually
the case at time of financial stress.
There has been no excitement and
nothing in the nature of a panic as
regards bank deposits in Oklahoma
City or elsewhere.
Governor Haskell and other friends
of the guaranty law claim that attacks
by national banks were largely re-
sponsible for the closing of the Column
bia Bank, but admit that the direct
cause was the fact that the bank was
carrying a large amount of paper,
which the Bank Commissioner deem
ed insecure.
Some of the old-established nation
al banks in Oklahoma City were I'M
doubleday jealous of the rapid growth
of the younger institution and were
probably not sorry to see its progress
suddenly checked, though they may
not have contributed actively to its
downfall.
Since its close they are claiming
that the bank-guaranty law encour-
aged loose banking methods. While
there may have been some losses OF
deposits to guaranteed banks as a re-
suit of the failure, they have not SC
far been large or numerous.
