The National Bank of Commerce OF
st. Louis has advertised for sale, FRI
day, December sth, a lot of collateral
placed with the bank by the Bankers
Trust to secure a note given by the
Trust Company to the Bank of Com
merce. Among the assets offered for
sale are the bonds of the San Antonio,
Uvalde & Gulf railroad, a note of W.
O. Gum, notes of the Littlejohn Irri-
CATION Company, a note of the Frank
lin Development Company, and anote
of the Cross s.. Farming Company.
The receiver of the Bankers Trust
Company, Leon w. Quick, recently
called a meeting of the stockholders
in st. Louis to try and save this prop
erty from sale, but nothing was ac-
complished, those interested saying it
looked too much like "sending good
money after bad"
One evening several weeks ago
Fred Cureton, the merchant at Bixby,
in the west end of the county, was
held up and robbed of several hundred
dollars. That evening after Cureton
had closed his store for the night a
couple of men appeared at his resi-
dence and said they wanted to buy
some lunch. Cureton then went to
the store and got them what they
wanted. One of the men rendered a
five dollar bill in payment of their
purchases. Mr.. Cureton opened his
safe to get the change and took out a
drawer full of money. AS he did so a
revolver was thrust in his face-and he
was told to give up the money. There
was nothing else to do and Mr.. Cure
ton had to comply with their demands.
The men then backed him out of the
store at the point of their guns, and
disappeared in the darkness. The rob-
bers were strangers and wore no
masks or DISCUSSES. 1t is not likely
they will be apprehended. The mon
ey taken amounted to between $500
and 800.
