SToCKMAN's NATIONAL
CLOSED AT POPLAR

= POPLAR, Jan. 26-The Stock
. mnn's National Bank at Poplar was
> closed the first of the week by Ma
& tIonal Bank Examiner Wright, who
$ has been spending some time check
: ing up the affairs of the institution.
9 The bank has been known to be
9 in a shalky condition for some time
$ past and the closing does not come
as much of surprise. This is the
second bank to close it's doors in
Iopsar in the last six months, due
60 the repeated poor crop sand bad
business generally.
This bank was moved up from
Brockton shortly after the failure
4 of the First National Bank of Pop
= lar. No statement has been given
out as to the affairs of the defunct
8 institution, but the report has reach
ed us that they will again be able
to open their doors to the public
soon.
The First National Bank also has
g matters well in hand and expect to
open for business in a few months
if plans they now have under way
We hope to see both institutions
resume business not alone for the
good of the town in which they are
located, but for the good of Rose
welt county as we'll.

In reporting the arrest of Jud Matkins and
Jake Timrnons on the charge of Asking and re-
ceiving bribes. the article read in such way
as to make it appear that the bribes were alleged
TO have been paid sby the Progressive Farmers
Club Elevator, because the charge grew out of
the payment of claim filed against the county
in the name of tn at elevator. AS matter of
fact the informations set out that the hribe is
alleged to have been paid by the Beiseker and
Movous combination through theSheridan Coun-
ty State Bank and not by the elevator, in spite of
the fact that the claim was presented in the
name of the above elevator for Beiseker and
Movius pursuant to some arrangement between
the above parties and the above elevator.
