A MICHIGAN BANK CLOSED.
Loose Banking Methods cause-pead
Mems Names on PAPER.

Union City, Mich, March l3-After
two days examination, National Bank
Examiner f. a. Rorabeck of Chicago
ordered the Farmers National bank
closed after banking hours Saturday
night and compelled Cashier Henry T
Carpenter TO resign.
The failure is attributed to loose
banking methods, the carrying OF
much worthless paper and an alleged
intent to defraud. The assets lack
$4,000 Of paying depositors and in
addition the capital Of $4,000 is wiped
out.
The Farmers bank was organized
thirty i've years ago by Carpenter
who has had control ever since. Car
penter and members OF his family are
said TO be on the bank paper fol
$50 900, and other paper bears names
of leading citizens who have beer
dead for a dozen years.
