Unreliable Bank Dope.

Last week S Dodgeville Chronicle was
woefully wide of the line of accuracy
in its attempt to report the meeting Of
the creditors of the looted First Ma
tional Bank of Mineral Point, held the
Monday evening previous.
The Chronicle termed 1t a mass-meet-
ing and that fully five hundred were
present. But it was not a mass-meet-
ing, from the fact that it was for
creditors only; and there were not five
hundred present.
There was no proposition presented
by the stockholders or directors offer
ing S25, 900 as a settlement of existing
claims. as the Chronicle states. In
fact, there was no proposition before
the meeting neither was it called for
that purpose. Uncle Sam and not the
creditors acts on propositions of this
nature.
Most ridiculous of the various in
accuracies OF the Chronicles report
were re two statements, that the
creditors had employed attorneys and
that the total of dividends to creditors,
up to this time, was about sixty-five
per cent of all claims.
The meeting was called simply to or
ganize for acquiring information and
for that purpose committee of five
was named, it being the sense of the
meeting that said committee procure
from the receiver, the comptroller of
the currency and the Central Wiscon-
sin Trust company, specific figures re-
lating to expenditures, money on hand,
available resources and other facts of
interest to the creditors.
Already there is some assurance at
hand and good reason for believing that
the desired detailed reports viii be fur
nished ere long
