ty years ago with a paid up capital
of $4,000. The officers are I. j
Mexican, president; Moses Augsburg
er, vice president; Murl Lybarger
cashier, and Mrs. Murl Lybarger, as
sistant cashier

bank had deposits of 100000. To-
day it is said this item amounts tt
only $65,OOO.
The latest of the robberies of the
bank was in March, 1929. The LOOT
was $4,000, of which $3.50 was re-
covered. Four men who pleaded
guilty to that hold up, and also one
in the preceding year, are each
serving twenty-year terms in the
state prison. They are Elmer Wood
