ELKTON BANK NOT REORGAN.
IZED.

hAEUs
The affairs of the Second National
Bank of Elkton, which recently
closed its doors, are apparently still
in a tangled condition, and the
promised reorganization has not
been effected. President VIM. T.
Warburton is reported seriously i'll.
Federal authorities are still in
charge of the bank, and a number of
residents of this section, who assert
they have never had any business
dealings with the institution have
received notice of record of notes
discounted, of which they had no
knowledge.
The sale of Gilpin's Falls Electric
Company to the Northern Maryland
Electric Company, which was ex-
pected to make solvent the bank,
may not take place at all and this
will serve to make the muddle still
worse.
