Judge Makes This An
nouncement In Peoples
Bank Case; Ruling
Help Up.

That steps be taken during. the next
40 days looking towards the re-organ-
ization and rc-opening Of the Peoples
State bank Of Grand Forks was urged
by Judge w. j. Kneeshaw at the on
clusion Of arguments or the applica-
ton for an injunction against the sale
of the bank assets n the removal Of
John Valley as receiver Thursday
afternoon.
Judge K%neeshaw said that he would
hold his ruling Of the cas- in abey-
ance during the period he mentioned
in the hope that stockholders n
creditors might get together during
that period and arrange for the re-
opening. 1
Banking Board o. X.
In announcing this policy, however
Judge Kneeshaw declared that NJ
foundation had been shown for the
charge made in the pleadings Of the
petitioners that there was q ICON
spiracy'' on the part of the state bank
ing board against the interests of the
stockholders and creditors. -
II am convinced that the banking
board is sincerely DESTROYS that the
bank should be re-organized and re-
opened said Judge K~neeshaw..~
Two Are Raped
The actions Of J. l.. O'Donnell who
made a bid of 800, 900 on the assets
of the bank, and OF Ole Knutson. a
former officer of the bank. who APP
peared before the state guaranty fund
commission in connection with this
bid were raped by the judge, who
declared that in his opinion they had
not acted in good Faith in the inter-
est Of the stockholders and creditors.
In connection with the continuation
of Mr.. Valley in the receivership,
Judge Kneeshaw SAID that while at
under the law, it appeared that in
some Of these instances he had acted
with the approval Of the banking
board. 1t appeared, he said. that Mr..
Valley had done very good work. In
making collections on the assets Of
the bank.
Wait 40 Days
If it should however, develop dur
ing the next 40 days that Mr.. Valley
is a stumbling block in the road. to the
reorganization of the bank he may
be removed, Judge Kneeshaw indi-
Gated.
He called attention to the fact that
the evidence against Mr.. Valley had
been placed before q L. NJ.
Cooley of Grand Forks in a former
action, and that Judge Cooley had
found no grounds to warrant his re-
m0val.
Bangs Arguments. y
Tracy r. Bangs wound up the ar
guments. for the defense early in the
afternoon session. He pointed out
the absurdity OF contending that the
letters which passed between Attor-
ney General Sveinbjorn johnson and
George E. Duis indicated any CON
~spiracy'' on the part Of the state
banking board as William Lemke had
claimed.
Taking up Mr.. Valleys record as
receiver of the bank. he called atten-
ton to the fact that he had reduced
the llabiHt1es of the institution by
over $4,000. He admitted that Mr..
Valley might have committed errors
in judgment and technical violations
Of the law, but denied that these were
sufficient to warrant his removal as

In the early days Of Rome wine
