Highland comprised the team that did
the work That they performed their
task with ability and impressiveness is
attested to by the 1870 members present
as well as those initiated.

banquet was partaken Of This was

in bills payable and otherwise, also
moneys for which the bank became LA
bic through the manipulation of Allen,
At the time the last dividend Of 5
per cent was paid, which was figured
as of August 9Th, 1910. it used up all
the money then available except
about $500, and the difference between
this $500 and the S23. 236 as available
October 81, 1910, represents the amount
collected by the receiver between those
dates. Now as soon as the receiver is
successful in realizing on some more of
the assets, creditors may, in the near
future, receive another small dividend.
Unfortunately the assets of the bank
are in such condition that they have
greatly deprecated, while the liabili-
ties have increased This is owing to
the fact that many Of the assets were
not real, Others had to be surrendered
and given up to other parties and for
other causes and that the assets now re-
naming are not voluntarily paid. We
have every reason to believe, however,
that the creditors will yet receive a
considerable amount in addition TO that
they already have received. Suits,
which the receiver has had to institute
and defend, were a necessity, other
wise collection of same could not be
made.
1t is hoped considerable amount
will yet be obtained from the Allen Es
tate in bankruptcy, but as to this the
amount is indefinite, owing to the many
claims filed against his estate and the
worthless assets that make up same.
Another source from which dividends
will 5e paid is through the directors
suit, which was recently started by the
receiver and of which mention has
heretofore been made, but this, like all
other matters, takes time, though in
the end will eventually result to the
benefit of the creditors.

Milwaukee News. March 6.
The sensational defalcation Of Phillip
Allen, Jr., Of the First National Bank
of Mineral Point, was recalled today in
circuit court.
Annie E. Curry sued the Wisconsin
National bank Of Milwaukee to enjoin
the institution from disposing of gov
eminent bonds valued at $1,000 She
alleges that she deposited the bonds
with Allen when he was the trusted
head Of the bank at Mineral Point
She charges that he obtained loan
from the Milwaukee bank by deposit
ing her bonds as security. The loan
was credited to the Mineral Point bank
and after the failure was listed as as
sets Of the bank, but the plaintiff
claims that the bonds are her prop
erty and that Allen had no right TO use
them.
Allen Is now serving a term in the
federal prison at Fort Leayenworth,
Kas. A deposition was taken from
him there by Court Commissioner Lee
1 Bond Sept. 10 last This was read into
/ the record Of the case today before

DEFUNCT BANK STATISTICS.
Gathered from Annual Report of Comptroller of the
Currency and Interview of Receiver
OUTLOOK FOR pEPOsIToRS NOT As GLOOMY AS MIGHT BE

Having had many inquiries from the
creditors of the defunct First National
Bank Of Mineral Point as to its liquida-
tion and how the same is being con-
Quoted, The Tribune is now in posi-
ton 70 give a summary of facts which
will be of interest TO all, same being
taken from the annual report of the
Comptroller of the Currency as of Oct.
81, 1910, which is the first report made
since the failure of the bank and is
reason why this information could not
be heretofore obtained
From an examination of this report
it shows that the total collections made
by the receiver from Oct. II, 1909,
when the bank was closed, to Oct. 81,
1910, amount to $473, 94O in which is
included the $150,000 Kennedy Mine
money and which has to be kept sepa-
rate by order of the court, leaving
1923, $40 net cash available for dividends
and other purposes. From this amount
payments have been made as follows
Dividends of 40 per cent amounting
to 500, 67s; loans paid and other dis
bursements amounting to S23,o60 le
gal expenses, including all attorney
fees, court costs and other such items
amounting to $3.50; all other ex
penses, including rents, clerk hire and
the different receivers salaries amount |
ing to SO, 1896. These four items total
$3.50, 704, which deducted from 1923, $40
leaves balance on hand with the gov
ernm0lt of $63, 236 Out of this last
amou $4,000 had to be held for pay
ment 81 40 per cent in dividends on mis-
cellansous claims amounting to about
500, GOO, which claims have been pre-
scented but not yet adjusted. Thus there
is left on hand as available cash the
sum If SOB, 236. In the item '1oans

After several embarrassing minutes
the two laborers shuffied OF the fence

OF the streets between the shops, and
turned The corner.

DEFECT IN GOOD OLD DAYS

that with the exception Of the small
classes OF Independent means, these
large families, II valued at all. were
valued chiefly as a source of income
to their parents from the earnings or
work OF the children during their time
