TEMPORARY RECEIVER
FOR SAVINGS BANK
B. ]. SCHOREGGE NAMED-SEC-
OND NATIONAL BANK MAY
TAKE OVER HOLDINGS AND
PAY DEPOSlTORS IN FULL.

The Savings Deposit Bank of which
Grant S. Youmans is president, was
closed by the deputy state bank exam
iner Schoregge at 9 o'clock Monday
morning after Mr.. Schoregge, assist
ed by Mr.. Johannsen, also deputy
bank examiner, had gone over the rec
ords of the institution.
The sign, "Closed, in the hands of
bank examiner" appeared from the
side door of the institution that even
ing.
The bank was carrying 100000
worth of loans, mostly second mort
gage loans, at face value and this was
not considered safe by the examiners.
Many of those loans were on farm
lands, the bank having disposed of the
first mortgage loans in the east. Out
Of the $66,O0O worth of loans, the ex-
aminers consider that $4,000 worth
Of them can be considered as gilt edge,
while considerable more can be work
ed out of them in time.
OF the $4,000 deposits, $4,000 be-
longed to Mr.. Youmans and the Saw
ings Loan and Trust Co., which is a
distinctly separate institution from
the bank The bank had $4,000 cash
while the building on Main street and
the bank fixtures will bring at least
$4,000 more.
The bank was really not in bad
shape except for the excessive farm
loans as it carried the legal reserve.
The records are said to have been in
the best Of shape and everything per-
fectly regular.
The bank made specially of saw
ings accounts of various sizes and
naturally many of the children as well
as adults have various sized sums tied
up. The probability is that the de-
positors will be paid dollar for dollar
within few days.
The Second National Bank today is
working on a plan to take over the
banks securities and if agreeable to
the state banking board will pay all
the depositors in full. A telegram
h has been sent to the board at Bis
marck today and by Friday something
definite ought to be known. In the
event that the Second National takes
hold of the proposition, the business
of the bank may be continued and it
| is possible that the institution may be
re-organized.
In any event, Mr.. Youmans stands
to lose a considerable sum, altho his
holdings in the Savings Loan & Trust
Co. are said to be large.
The bank but recently occupied its
splendid new quarters, the improve
ments being made at cost of more
than $4,000 to the bank.
B. J. Schoregge has been named as
temporary receiver, but if the present
plans 60 thru, it will be unnecessary
to appoint permanent receiver.
Mr.. Yo9mans stated TO represen,
tative Of the Independent that it would
not be necessary for the depositors
to lose dollar, altho the affairs were
in such shape that he would have to
abandon his banking business in Mi

HE TAKES HIS OATH
OF OFFICE SERIOUSLY.

States Attorney Nestos OF Minot
takes his oath Of Office seriously. He
startled his own town last week by
serving injunctions against six bust
ness and residence houses as being i'm
moral resorts, and under the state law
asks for injunctions closing them for
q year. He proposes to drive every
house Of i'll repute; every blind pigger
and gambling joint out of existence.
He also served injunctions in several
other towns in the county.
Some of these days if this prosecut-
ing attorney continues, the people Of
the state will be calling him higher.
Joseph Folk was made governor Of
Missouri for keeping his oath Of Office.
But what about officials who do not
keep it?Fargo Courier-N News.

concluded that if Jim-Jam-Jems is

ought to be worth as much. Not that
it IS in the same class as the Bismarck

not going to write lot of Shiny stuff
about women who have fallen from
