in the Second National Bank, which
closed its doors January 20, may get
almost dollar for dollar on their money.
1t was learned today.
The long and patient investigation OF
the United States bank examiner who
has been going over the institution 8
affairs, has shown. according to the
towns latest rumor, that the bank Is
not 40 hopelessly wrecked as had been
feared. One of the wild stories said to
have been set at rest by the exam .
incr's work is that the bank carried
quantity of fictitious notes. All the
notes now held by the bank are said
to be good. and for the most can be
realized on.
It is estimated that the bank has de-.
posits ranging from $3.50 900 to $500. 1.
600. It's assets are said to include
$126 900 in good paper and bonds to g
total Of $100,O00 more. 1t is estimated

time ago appealed for these public de-
posits, and obtained them when his
bank bid ~. per cent interest. The
fact that these funds are on deposit
became known when several school
teachers complained they had not been
paid for the last quarter, and 1t became
known that money from the fund used
to pay them was deposited In the bank

"As matter of fact, BY reason Of
the recriminations that have passed back
