THAT OLD BANK STORY
JOURNAL ARTICLE IS REFUTED
BY COMPETENT AUTHORITY
RECEIVER AND ATTORNEY REPLY
P. r. Earling and T. M. Thomas
Signed Statements in Regard
to the Old Bank Case

In regard to the defunct First National
Bank of Ladysmith.
My attention is called to ngthy
article in the Rusk County Journal of
July 20, headed 'Full Particulars as to
why the depositors of the old First
National Bank were not paid
While this article is full of misstate-
ments and misrepresentation, feel
called upon to correct only one of their
statements, and this simply because
the depositors should know the facts
as they are.
1t is stated that ''the first dividend
was rs per cent. That shortly after
this first dividend was paid checks
were issued for further dividend of
Is per cent, that these checks were
seen by H. W. True but that they
never reached the creditors of the
Bank etc This is false from begin
ming to end The facts are these and
they can be verified by any creditor
Of the Bank by writing to the Comp
troler's office.
The first dividend was for so per
cent. After the stock holders made
certain payments on their stock holding
liability a second dividend of 25 per
cent was declared by the Comptroller
and distributed by the Receiver. No
other dividends have been declared or
issued. How True can claim that he
saw dividend checks in my office for
Is per cent is beyond me.
Dividends are declared by the Comp
troller and checks for dividends are
drawn by his department. A check is
made out for each individual creditor
and to his order. The Receivers duty
is to distribute them as quickly as
possible to the respective owners and
to get receipt therefore.
P. r. EARRING.

To THE PUBLIC:

To THE PUBLIC:
| have not replied to the recent ar
ticle in the Rusk County Journal for
the reasons that ! do not consider a
newspaper controversy would settle
any question in regard to the affairs of
the defunct First National Bank of
Ladysmith and that bitter newpaper
chickering's are not conducive to the
best welfare of our city or county.
| have no apologies to make for any
letter written, or for any act performed
or fee received as attorney for the
Receiver. All my charges were item
lied and first approved by the Re-
ceiver and by the Comptroller of the
Currency before l received payment
for work performed.
In event any one interested desires
to know the truth about how much |
received for services and what work
performed, | cordially invite such per-
sons to call at my office and inspect
itemized accounts of work performed
and fees received. | will take pleasure
in explaining anything not readily
understood as l have nothing to con-
ceal
call attention at this time to the
fact that no statute of limitations has
run on any act performed by me as
attorney for the Receiver, and also to
the fact that I am financially respon-
sible, my property not being hidden in
my wife's name. IF any person Sc
riously thinks | have any money to
which the depositors are entitled, the
courts and not the newspapers are the
proper forums in which to determine
the question.
