De assessed 100 per cent on its capital.
The Citizens State bank is capitalized
at $4,000. A IS per cen assessment
amounts to but s2e, 600. There is $15.-
900 surplus. This brings the total that
could be paid put now UP to $4,000.
There Is still $4,000 in paper in the
bank that I am examining. If the full
100 per cent is assessed 1t would only
give about $4,000 more. If $4,000 worth
Of the $4,000 paper we still have to

It is generally believed here hat the
Citizens State bank is closed forever.
"A new bank may be organized, but the
old Citizens State OF which NJ. B.
Wheelock. suicide cashier was the
guiding hand, probably will never
again open it's doors, 1t is thought.
Depositors are becoming uneasy.
They are chatting under the delay oc-
casioned by the continued closing Of the
bank while the examiners are checking
its accounts. State Bank Examiner
wolever is rushing matters as fast as
he can, but he says that the papers are
in such shape that progress can only
be made slowly.
York Can't Pay.
George H. York, the grocer whose
name has been repeatedly mentioned In

New Mystery Added.
Assistant Attorney General c. A.

he said he wonders why smother grain
sack and rope were found lying on
wheelock's clothing near where tho
body was taken from the river. When
Wheelock's body was recovered It had
a sack Of rocks tied around the neck.
There was some hint that Wheelock
may have entered into a suicide pact
and that the other person did not ap-
pear. Mr.. Robbins promised to in
vestigate this angle.
w. G. Crisman. who. with Wheelock.
composed the auditing committee Of
the bank. said yesterday that he ex-
amined the banks accounts ono .

do most of it. he averred, and only
audited the papers that Wheelock gave
him. He admitted that he does not
know much about the banks affairs.

Assistant Attorney General Robbins

He also ants to establish the worth
Of the paper.
Colfax residents are considerably ex-
cited over the state OF affairs. The state
bank examiners investigation, the Polk
county coroner's inquest and the
thought that the bank may close all
tend to create a feeling Of unrest. De-
spite all that has been done. no real
solution Of the mystery surrounding
Mr.. Wheelock's suicide has yet been
%unearthed.
