BANK AT BRADDOCK CLOSES
DOORS
Farmers State Bank, After Four or
Five Years of Existence, Gives Up.
Farmers Elevator Reported Hard
Hit,

The Farmers State Bank of Brad
dock has closed it's doors. Reports
received in Linton are to the effect
that the bank had overextended loans
and was no longer able to meet its
obligations. Being unable to secure
further financial backing, the directors
decided to close voluntarily.
The only bank to close in Emmons
as yet, the Farmers State Bank had a
large list Of stockholders. When it
was organized, small blocks CT stock
were sold to all who would buy in
the Braddock neighborhood. Some
sixty or seventy farmers took stock
in varying amounts. Its total carl
tai amounted to $4,000, and it has
never been able to build up any re-
serve. It's last published statement
was made Dec. goth, and showed total
deposits of $79,OO8.29. Of this
amount, s36, ,750.97 were time deposits
and a great share of these accounts
doubtless are tied up. with the banks
closing. It is said that some $4,000
belonging to the Farmers Elevator
Co., of Braddock, was in the bank
whep it closed, thus making that in.
stitution short on ready money. Its
loans and discounts amount to $780,,
900.

TALK OF NEW SCHOOL
Committees Appointed BY School
Board Foil wing Mass Meeting to
Suggest Location for Proposed
Building.

A meeting was he'd in the court
house last Friday night to discuss the
possibilities and probabilities of the
much discussed new schools some
time in the future. A lafge number
of people wefe present at the meet
ing, and discussion waxed warm until
a late hour. 1t was decided to ap-
point a committee consisting of five
men and five women to discuss avail
able locations, etc., and this commit
tee met Tuesday evening.
Many problems must be met in the
quest Of a new school, In the first
place, the territory in the district out
side the city limits is to be. split
away from the district, as taxation
for school purposes on such lands is
out of all reasonable bounds. This
results from the new tax schedules
put in effect by Prof. Roylance two
years ago. Linton residences are
paying practically no taxes, and busi-
ness and farm property has to make
up increased costs, and the less on
residences taxes as we'll. Jake Kist
is also arranging to withdraw some
of his property from within the city
limits. The bonding limit left will
be about 100000. It is unlikely that
bonds can be sold for a year or more.
Hence, present steps are purely pre-
liminary.
The committee on location consists
Of Messrs. Martin Reidlinger, M. T.
Barger, VIM. Bechtle, C. F. WAGNER
and. Fred Heinrich and the Mesdames
w. c. Wolverton, ] A. Lang, E. H.
Brant, E. j. Kruger and F. B. Stree.
ter. Possible locations suggested
are on the east side of Linton, the
souteast end of town or the old 10.
cation. The most general plan is tc
build the new school house in some
other location, and continue to use the
old school for about four grades. An
election will be held to determine the
final site, as well as to order bonds.

LYNN's RECALL PROVES A JOKE

The proposed recall election in the
First Commissioners District came to
sudden end last Friday when the
matter was heard before Judge Nc
Kenna, at Napoleon. The Court held
that the county auditor should be en-
Joined from proceeding with the elec-
tion, as asked for in the action start
ed by Mr.. Goughnour. The Record
has heretofore quoted the law on the
matter, showing where the gentlemen
interested in the recall failed to COM
ply with the provisions of the law.
Further than that, the recall petit
tions contain the name of one gentle
man in Hazelton who has been ex-
tremly noisy about this recall busi-
ness and who certified that he was a
resident and elector of the First Dis
trict when he was in reality resident
Of the Second District, and has there
fore certified to lie.
Investigation has already shown
at least one person who claims that he
did not sign a recall petition, despite
the fact that someone wrote his name
on the petition.
Mr.. Lynn and Mr.. Brant went to
Napoleon Thursday for the hearing,
which avs postponed a day because
cf the illness Of the Judge. Mr..
Brant returned the same evening, and
Mr.. Lynn the following day.
The Ex-Dictator seems to be get
ting the worst of it in his battles quite
regularly nowadays. In a very few
months he has had his "dishonorable
discharge" by the voters, Knockout
by a jury in one Of his framed-up
cases, total failure in debating to the
commissioners, and now his recall goes
up in smoke. All this without men,
tioning the scene he made while pur-
porting to be debating, the night be-
fore election.
