capital stock of $4,000 and deposits OF
$50 600, has been closed by the state

that the county attorney at Halsey and
State Bank Examiner Touzalin were Oh
their way to Minnesota to secure the
presence Of f. NJ. Rulings. president Of
the closed bank. Mr.. Rulings lives at
Minneapolis.
For week or more, Secretary Hart
says, the county attorney and examiner
have been trying to obtain from Presi-
dent Ridings enough money or good
security to cover $2SOOO Of certificates
Of deposit which Riddings is alleged TO
have obtained from the bank.
In return for these securities. Pres-
