State Bank Is Liable for
$28,000 Deposit
' Otoe County has a legitimate
claim of , approximately $28,000
against the defunct. Dunbar State
Bank. and. the Guaranty Fund is
liable, Judge James T. Begley held
in District Court here late Wednes
day. ' '-' '
-; Upon Its own" application the Dun
bar bank, "was -made " a .county de
pository, and the'. County claimed it
had on deposit .'April, 6, 1927, $28,
023.53. and that no part of said sum
had been withdrawn.
v ., Skiles Makes Objection. -
Attorney. CM. Skiles, of Lincoln
representing the Guaranty Fund,
claimed that Otoe County was other
wise secured by a personal bond of
$25,000 signed by officers of the Dun
bar State Bank.
"The County." Skiles said, "went
ahead and made deposits in the bank
while it had bond security. Its claim
cannot be allowed. It was otherwise
secured and the Guaranty Fund is
relieved. The bond sureties are lia
ble. The county treasurer should
have seen fit to sue the men who
operated the bank. The County re
lied on the. bond." "
Heinke Says State: is Fully Liable.
County Attorney George H. Heinke
declared that thellaw says county de
posits shall be- protected by the
Guaranty Fund. .He did not see In
terest of 2 per cent in the light of
a "consideration" as claimed by the

Mother and '
Daughter Hear
the Death Call
Pass Away within Few Hours of Each
Other Entire Family 111 with
Flu Funedal Delayed. .
This community was greatly sad
dened Sunday by two deaths in the
same family, when Mrs. Mabel Gae
bel passed away at her home after a
short illness with flu, on Sunday
morning at 2:30, and her daughter,
Mrs. William Lau answered the call
at the Methodist hospital in Omaha
that same evening at about 3 o'clock,
following a serious operation the
Tuesday before.
Mrs. Lau had been making satis
factory progress, after the operation
from which she rallied in a very fav
orable manner and when members of
her family visited her the last day
they brought home the report that
her condition was exceptionally good,
but she took a sudden turn for the
worse and death came swiftly. .
Her sister, Miss Henrietta Gaebel,
had gone to the hospital with her
and remained with her through the
operation and the days following un
til last Friday, when she was over
come with the flu and was obliged
to return home. She has been very
ill, but is holding her own nicely and
is keeping up under the most devoted
care of neighbors and friends, to
gether with constant medical atten
tion. She bore the news of the pass
ing of her mother and sister with re
markable calmness, endeavoring to
follow the advice of her physician
and her spiritual adviser, the Rev.
Theodore 'Hartman, pastor of the
Evangelical church. i
On account of all the members of
the family being ill with the flu. the;
time of the funeral has been delayed
and will probably be set for Thurs
day of this week, when it is hoped
that there will be ' a considerable
change for the better. i
. Mrs Gaebel was born November
11, 1860, and was 68 years and 28
days old. Her daughter, Mrs. Lau,
