DEPOSITORS DESIRE TO SAVE CASH
Offer of Mrs. llagerty Looks Good to
Many and Receiver of Concern
Promises to Donate His
' Services.'
O NK1LL. Neb., Jan. B.-tSpecial.) It ap
pears quite probable now that a definite
and friendly settlement will soon be made
between the depositors and officials of the
failed Elkhorn Valley bank, along the lines
of the proposition submitted by Mrs. llag
erty, which proposition was published in
The Bee some time ago.
O. F. Blglin, the receiver of the bank,
says that all of the 183 depositors, with
very few exceptions, have expressed not
only a willingness but a whh to enter into
a frleudly settlement and keep the affairs
of the, bank out of court entirely, if the
officials' of the bank will turn over their
private property to the depositors.
Mr. Blglin estimates that $1,000 can be
realized out of the llagerty home, adjoin
ing town; that the equity In another tract
of land will turn In $1,600; another piece
of land in the south part of the state, $,"hj;
the bank building and several town lots,
$5,000; the llorlsky grocery corner and five
lots, $3,500; the llagerty pension ckvck, $705;
McGreevy money, $700; overdrafts of the
bank, $2,ouO; equity in notes up as collateral,
$2,000, which, with the aamits of the bank,
will make something over $4O,0cO. Mr. Blg
lin is further authority for the statement
that the depositors will soon hold a meet
ing for 'the purpose of electing three trus
tees to act In conjunction with him as re
ceiver in settling up the affairs of the
bank.
ftora fcolllvan Writes.
He has proposed to the depositors that if
the three trustees will serve free of charge
he will also act as receiver without charge
to the depositors. There uppears to be a
general disposition to keep the affairs of
the bank out of the hands of the lawyers
and out of the courts. Nora Sullivan, one
of the depositors, has written the follow
ing letter, addressed to the public:
O'NKILL, Neb., Jan. 4. Much sympathy
has been expressed for me for my loss in
the bank failure. I want to know whether
it is sincere or whether It is only a ahum.
Any person who Is honestly sorry for mo
will help me to get back as much of the
money aa 1 can, and the only way Is to ac
cept Mrs. Hagerty's offer. Of course, the
lawyers wil want it put Into court, so as
to get it all themselves.
NORA SULLIVAN.
Receiver Biglin says that the depositors
and himself are now In position to know
the true condition of the affairs of the
failed Institution and that if matters take
be shape as now appears it will not e
long until the affairs of the bank will pass
into history and that it is not probable that
the total loss o depositors will In the end
be much In excess of $7,000, which is not
so bad as at first appeared.

DAVID CITY, Neb., Jan. 6. (Special.)
The news of the overruling of the motion
for a rehearing In the cae of the state
against Lena Margaret Llllie, "who was
convicted of the miuler of her husband,
Harvey Llllie, on October 24, 1902, was re
ceived by telephone here at an early hour
this morning. The news spread rapidly
and In a short tlnio It was the chief topic
of conversation. About 10 o'clock Sheriff
West conveyed the news to Mrs. Llllie.
When the sheriff entered the cell Mrs.
Lillle was reading. Mr. West Informed
her of the overruling of the motion. Mrs,
Lllllo ald:
"Oh, my God, you don't mean that do
you, Mr. West?"
Mr. West assured her that he did and
that was the decision of the supreme
court'.
Mrs. Lillie broke down and wept bitterly.
In fact more 'than she did when she was
informed of the decision of .the supreme
court affirming the decision of the district
court, which convicted her. 'It is feared
that sho will collapse. Mrs. Lillie re
quested that Matt Miller be sent for. Mr.
Miller arrived in a few moments and was
in consultation with his client for about
half an hour.
Sheriff V est is anxious that he recelvo
the mandate from the supreme court at the
earliest possible moment for several rea
sons, all of which he does not care to be
made public. There Is some' very strong
talk heard that there is a possibility of
something of a serious nature happening,
and there seems to be some good grounds
for this talk. It la positively certain that
the jail will be guarded by a stronger
force than heretofore and all precautious
possible will be taken to prevent anything
serious haxpning.
