ELKToN. Nd, Aug. e.--It is said
that Thomas W. Perkins. receiver
for the Second National Bank OF
Elkton, viii not be able to make the
initial payment to the creditors OF
the institution until the latter part
OF the year. Mr.. Perkins found the
funds Of the bank in such a COM
plicated condition that II has been
a hard task trying 10 convert the
assets into cash. A large portion OF
the assets, $4,000. are in the shape
of bonds Of the Gilpin's Falls Elec-
trio Company. and to convert them
into cash would mean that they
would have to be sacrificed. The
suits on what have been termed "ac-
commodation notes." are still before
the courts. These notes amount TO
about $25,OOO. The suit on the first
one OF these notes, that OF omar D.
Crothers, resulted unfavorable for
the receiver. and an appeal has been
taken 10 the United States Court Of
Appeals, and Will come up in Octo-
Der when that body meets al Rich
mond. Va.
