Court at Fort Madi-

ALTERATIONS CLAIMED
Bank is Denying Responsibility for

Interesting Angles TO
Case.

The bank at Argyle has been made
a defendant in suit filed by Des
Moines bank in the district court al
Fort Madison yesterday. The suit is
over the collection of a note which
II is alleged was borrowed for the
benefit of the bank and charged on
the books. 1t is claimed that there
was an alteration of the note which
inyalidated it.
The Democrat says of the action
"a suit which promises to be OF

Of Argyle, Iowa, William III. Newton

"The petition filed alleges that the
directors of the Argyle Savings bans

than $4,000, and that on December

Claim sS.ration.
Since ssse ssiiing of the petition. 1t
has been learned that neither Brod'
sky, Mr.. Newton nor Marsh ever re-
ceived any of the proceeds of this
note. 1t is also stated that the Com
rnerciaI Savings bank, without au'
thority from any of the defendants in
t gsuit, unlawfully altered the in
terest rate on the note, and it is now
claimed that this, being a material
alteration, invalidates the instru-
ment
1T is understood that the Argyle
Savings bank also denies any liability
in the matter because they do not
appear as a party to the note.
"The case Is most unusual because
of the claimed alteration of the note,
since it is very unusual for any bank
to attempt to change or alter note
