Th. hanV had alwava Carthy and, of course, the receiver. Vhen and the effects of the bank until some weeks after they were sold. There was no announcement ot the sale In the pa pers here and the first I knew of It was when a report reached mo that a quit claim deed to the property had gone on record for J 1,000. The building and lot I would consider cheap at H.000. Shortly after the bank closed the depositors met and selected M. P. Harrington of O'Neill as their attorney. In the course of time, not long afterward, he made a settlement with the receiver on a basis of 75 cents on the dollar. He stnt each depositor .1 circular accompanied by a check for the amount duo him. why the depositors should have lost 25 per cent when the bank could have paid In full, or why n settle ment was made on this basis has always been a mystery to me. My son had been assistant cashier for seven years and I had a pretty fair Idea as to tho condition of things. While the bank carried some bad paper It also carried some that was as good as gold. The Judgments against the village ot Atkinson and the school district were the very best collateral and worth every cent of their face value. The assets of the bank and the building and lot were sold at O'Neill, but I have yet to And a man here who knew ot the sale at the time It was made or who can state positively without reservation that the receiver conformed to the law In conduct ing It. I have all along regarded the whole affair, from the closing of the Institution to the sale ot Its assets, as being remark ably strange." Sale Carried on In Confidence. Still more startling were the statements of J. F. Brady, a prominent business man of Atklnscn, who was ln O'Neill when the sale Is supposed to have been conducted. He said: "I was ln O'Neill when the sale was made. I went tl ere to buy a mort gage on P.. V. Scott's place. Mr. Scott Is a friend of mine and requested me to do It. At the time the sale was. made there were only seven persons In the room Mc Carthy, Morrill, Jim Harrington, Sheriff Stewart, Receiver Howard, myself and an other gentleman. I understood that Mor rill was there ln tho Interest of the Har rlngtons. Receiver Howard came In with a package and said: 'Let's open up the sale.' Ho asked me It I wanted to buy anything and I told him I wanted the Scott mortgage. That mortgage was for J 400 and was good for the amount, but 1 bid 520 for It and It was promptly sold to me at the figure without any bid. I thought that this being the case I might got bold of a few soft snaps, as 1 knew the bank .had considerable collateral that was good. I asked Howard If there were any Judg ments to be sold and he said no, that they had all been bargained tor. Howard pretended to adjourn the sale and I stepped out and all the other gentlemen left with me excepting McCarthy. No sooner had we left the room than the salo was reopened and a large amount of the best securities were sold to McCarthy for $40. McCarthy bought a Judgment against the village ot Atkinson amounting with Interest to about JS00, two Judg ments against the school district amount ing to about $200 and some seven or eight other Judgments, Including two de crees ot foreclosure against land In Holt county, worth J500, all for $40.

Oldbnm, who hopes to succeed to the position of trust annlhllator for Nebraska, has gotten himself Into a tangle between tho upper and nether millstones of cold facts. Ills confidence In Bryan led him to lay a wager on the result ot the election ln Nebraska, overlooking tho fact that to do so Is In violation of the law of the state. When the matter win made nubile Mr. Oldham vehemently denied that he had made any wager and denounced tho venal preBS of the opposition tor daring to bring his good name Into the obloquy that attaches to one who would so far forget himself as to lay a wager Mr. Oldham demanded from the editor of the Kearney Democrat his authority for the statement that the wager had been laid. Tho editor proved up and now. the eloquent assistant trust smasher Is In the predicament of having to forego his Interest ln n bet of $100 or admit that he has knowingly violated the laws of the state he serves and still aspires to serve.
