Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Peters, accomp anied by Mrs. C. E. Calfee, were in Lincoln last Monday, they driving over to the big city, where they were looking after some business as well as visiting for a short time with friends. Mr. O. F. Peters has been having seme walnut logs cut from one of his places in the country near Green wood, which he has sold to H. M. O'Dell of Nehawka, and which are to be shipped to a company in Des Moines that deals in walnut logs. Mrs. Catherine Earhardt. of Man ley, was a visitor in Greenwood on last Tuesday and while here sold some twenty-five hundred bushels of corn to the Peters Elevator company, which was raised last year on her farm southeast of Greenwood by W H. Gamlin. Ray Friedricks. of Aurora, was in Greenwood one day last week, and made a purchase of Ivan Armstrong of a large quantity of seed corn which he is having shipped to his seed house at Aurora. This is excellent corn and will be fine for the country where it is taken for planting. I George Trunkenbolz, the city mar shal, was assisting Hardy Gustafson in the installation of the electrically operated siren which is being placed on the water town for announcing that they were governed by the laws enacted by the congress of the United States and not the state laws of Ne braska; that the federal laws pre scribed the duties of the officers of National banks and the penalties for the violation thereof; that the stat ute under which the information and complaint was made was not binding 'on any bank, banker or corporation or anyone excepting county treasur ers: that the statute had no applica tion to National banks and that the section of the law of 1925 was null and void. The motion of the defense was overruled by Judge Hastings, who held that the statute had specifically mentioned banks protected by the state guaranty fund as not having to supply bonds for deposits, and which in the opinion of the court left the class of banks named as necessary to supply bonds, National banks, as there are no private banks allowed in Nebraska. If the law had spe cifically named National banks it would have been a bad law. The court held that while federal laws designate the manner in which Na tional banks shall be operated, the officer of no National bank is above i the state law in his position as a cit izen of the state of Nebraska.

Witness stated that Miss Gering had called him into her private office and had asked him as to the condi tion of the First National Bank, that she had heard rumors as to the soundness of the bank and the wit ness had told her he had also heard similar rumors; had further told her that there had been some withdraw als from the bank, but that" it was sound. iss Gering had said that she ould have to have a bond to cover the deposit and he had told her he State Rests in Prosecution of Former j would get one in a week or ten days' nine as u iook some lime 10 gei inese bonds as the bank had been secur- Peoples Produce Company 145 South 6th St., Plattsmouth, Neb.

Witness had called Glen Boedeker at Murray and was arranging to have him take over notes and securities and supply funds so that the amount of the county deposits might be checked out. This was on the day that suit was filed by Miss Gering against the bank and the deal had not been completed. Mrs. Charles L. Carlson was a visi tor in Omaha today where she will spend a short time there attending tc some matters of business in that city. Tuesday evening, as John Linn night watchman was going down the alley near the Woodman Building he discovered light in the rear office room. He immediately made an in vestigation and found that the build ing was on fire and turned in the larm. Fire chief Fred Prentice and Harry Tolhurst were called and were on the ground in short notice with pyrenes. They had to fight their way through the dense smoke to get to the fire which was soon put out. It is fortunate that Mr. Linn discovered the fire when he did for in a very few minutes it would have been going strong and the building which is a wood frame would make a big fire and endangered the LeaderlEcho office and other buildings.

Mrs. Anderson's condition has been very grave and every care is taken to give her the very best of service and care. Her many friends in Greenwood are very much concern ed over her welfare. which she had demanded when tak ing the check to the bank. Witness also testified as to other conversations with .the defendant urging the sup plying of the bond and also to the fact that no bond had been supplied to cover the amount of the county money on deposit. On cross-exami- nation, Miss Gering was given a very thorough attack by the defense at torneys who sought to show that there were many other times where excess deposits had been made, but did not result in loss to the county. II. N. Dovey, president of the First Nationol Bank, was called to-.the stand, but stood on his constitutional rights and refused to testify in the case as was requested by the state.
