trustee, against the bank, asking no
accounting of it's MANAGEMENT. 1T was
ordered only to return to the bank the
certificate for the 1155 shares of capital
stock in the concern, which has been
the bone of contention between two
financial factions fighting for the con-
troll of the institution, and Whlch lett
the possession of the original directors
of the bank when it was pledged TO Sc
cure a loan of about $12OOOO.
1t was because of the loan, which
never was returned, and the consequent
sale Of the stock, that the suit of Hugh
Blue. who as trustee bought the stock,
against the old directors of the bank,
headed by Newton ]. Skinner, presi-
dent, was begun. Then followed Varl-
GUS other actions in which the Skinner
faction was opposed to the new set OF
