THE AMERICAN BANK & TRUST
COMPANY CLOSES ITS DOORS
Travelling Auditor and Bank Examiner
Howell Has Assumed Charge. De-
positors Will Be Paid.

The patrons Of the American
Bank & Trust Co., Of Clovis
were treated to a surprise Tues
day morning when they observ-
ed a notice posted on the door
signed by travelling auditor and
bank examiner Howell Earnest,
stating that he had closed the
bank and had taken charge of
the same. Inve stigation by a
News reporter revealed the fact
that the institutions condition
was not in the best of shape,
which was responsible for the
action taken by the state
auditor, altho ugh there appears
to be ample security to pay off
every cent of their deposits,
with a nice profit for the stock
holders added. Yet it is claimed
by those who have gone into the
details of the institution that
these securities are not all gilt
edged. and it is doubtfulif many
of them can ever be collected.
The deposits are said to aggre-
gate about $500 with $4,000
cashiers checks outstanding,
making a total deposit of $85, :
600.
"A bank failure in Clovis was
not thought possible, as every
thing seemed prosperous and all
depositors had explicit conf
denee in the banks officials.
Mr.. L. Q3West, President of the
institution is known as a safe,
conservative banker, and has
control of three banks in Ok
lahoma, two of which are in
the towns of Mountain View and
Edmond.
MIR. Boyle, the vice president
of the institution, is a pioneer
resident of Clovis and had sue
ceeded in building up a splendid
real estate and insurance bust
ness.

the prominent financial stand
ing of all these men, it is
therefore, no wonder that the
people were taken by surprise
when informed of the financial
condition Of the institution and
the subsequent closing of its
doors.
At a conference of the officers
Of the First National Bank and
the Clovis National Bank and
those of the defunct institution
held Monday night, an effort
was made to have the banks
above named take over the
affairs of the American Bank
and prevent its closing. To
this end, the two banks above
named offered to give $50OO.OO
cash apiece and furthermore,
the president of the closed instl-
tuition, Mr.. L. G. West, offered
to give SIS, 10000 which offer
was supplemented by one Of
50. 10000 by w. A. Foyil, but
it appears that all of this was
rejected by the Bank Examiner
as unsatisfactory.
The latest statement to be
given by those who are famil-
lar with the banks condition is
that although the stockholders
may never realize a cent on
their investment. that the de-
positors will be paid practically
all in time. In the meantime
they will await the action taken
by the Receiver.
