CRONK, OF PAGE, ASKS FOR A REHEARING Lincoln, Neb.: A motion for a re hearing was filed Tuesday in supreme court in the case where Fred M. Cronk, a Holt county farmer, sought to hold the depositor’s guaranty fund liable for some liberty bonds and war savings stamlps that he bought through the Farmers Bank of Page, now in a receiver's hands, but which he never received. The supreme court said this did not make him a depositor under the terms of the guaranty law, but suggested he might get relief through a trust fund » action. His attorney urges that technicalities ought not to override equities, and that as the money he paid went into the general funds of the bank he should be repaid oat of the guaranty fund. He had bought $500 worth of bonds, borrowing $400 to pay for them. He paid off the note, and is in the position of having paid $34 for the privilege of losing $500. . Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gallagher, daughter Miss Helen, and son George, departed Sunday for their home in New York City. They have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Carr and family for the past ten days. To The Depositor NATIONAL BANKS FAIL. When they do depositors lose heavily. Why? Because deposits in National Banks are not guaranteed. STATE BANKS FAIL. When they do depositors are paid in full. Why? Because deposits in State Banks are protected by the Depositors Guarantee Fund of the State of Nebraska. THE NEBRASKA STATE BANK OF O’NEILL is the only Bank in O’Neill which offers you this pro tection. , You will protect yourself and please us by depositing your money with us. 5 per cent paid on time deposits.
