Citizens
Bank Fails
Former Attorney General De.
clares Bryan's Charges and
Delay Cost Guaranty
Fund Over $15O,OOO.
Total Loss Is 100000

Lincoln. Feb. -(Special) - The
Citizens State bank of I1oldrege fail
ed today.
simultaneously, Clarence \. Davis.
vice president of the bank and until
January attorney general of Ne.
braska issued a statement here detail
ing efforts made by himself and 9th
ers to gain Governor Bryan's consent
to some arrangement which would
have saved the bank. Its stockhold-
ers, he said, offered to pay an as.
sessment of 100 per cent upon their
stock, provided the balance of losses
incurred by taking over liabilities of
the defunct Holdrege State bank were
made good out of the state guaranty
fund.
Draft OF 100000 Required.
Assumption of liabilities of the Hol-
drege State bank saved the guaranty
fund draft of 1858, 900 in May, 1921,
Davis declared. Acceptance Of the
Citizens bank plan Of adjustment two
weeks ago would have permitted the
settlement of the whole matter by a
draft of only $4,000 upon the guar
anty fund. Now. with the Citizens
bank closed, the bank guaranty must
be called upon for nearly 100000, he
said.
The publicity which has been
given this matter during the last
week has caused the Citizens State
bank the loss of more than $4,000 in
deposits" said Davis. mo banking
institution in the state can stand the
publicity of having its solvency ques-
toned and the legality of its deposits
doubted by the leading public officials
and the daily papers Of the state"
Governor Silent.
Neither Governor Bryan nor Attor.
ney General Spillman would comment
on the Davis statement.
Davis statement to the public. to
which he attached a letter addressed
TO Governor Bryan, February ?. fol.
lows:
For nearly two months I have
maintained an absolute silence under
publicity and insinuations of a most
distasteful character. 1 have done
this because publicity was slowly
wrecking the Citizens State Bank Of
Holdrege and did not care to assume
responsibility for any part of that
publicity.
THE program has succeeded. Pub.
licity and delay have done their work.
Deposits have been withdraw wn until
The banks reserves are depleted to
the point where It Is useless to pro.
eeed further. At least, l can now
speak. The attached letter TO Gov.
ernor Bryan il complete. 1t sets forth
the extent to which the officers of
this bank have Joined in an attempt
TO save 1t. Every proposal they have
made has been rejected. The draft on
the guaranty fund might have been

900. The conclusion is obvious"
Every Act Approved.
In his letter TO the governor, Feb.

credit to save the institution. II Bryan
