0AC0MA BANK HOLDS
FORGED SECURITIES
Bogus Cattle Mortgages Used
to Cover Financial Needs of
Peter Dirks, Deceased.

Chamberlain. S. D.. Oct. 7.-As the
investigation proceeds in the affairs
of the closed Dirks banks at Oacoma,
a tangled condition of affairs is dis
closed.
Many forged notes and bogue mort
cages have been found among the al
legged assets of the bank. Some Of the
forged signatures of the register of
deeds, showing on documents never
filed for record, are so we'll done tina
he register of deeds had difficulty in
separating the bogus and genuine sig
natures.
The examiners claim that Peter
Dirks, in trying to tide over his
strained financial condition, covered up
for money hat he had taken by
executing bogus cattle mortgages and
accompanying notes.
During the last three weeks Of his
life Mr.. Dirks ate practically nothing
and was constantly under the influence
of liquor. He knew that he was in a
financial tangle rom which he could
not emerge.
In the first references to the death
or MI. Dirks, a correspondent at Pierre
listed him as vice president OF The
Chamberlain State bank. This was an
outright error. MI. Dirks has had nc
connection Of any kind with the Cham
berlain bank for more than a wear.
