Farm Home Burns.
The home of Mrs. Elizabeth Easter
which was constructed on the Easter
farm some five miles southwest of
Union, was burned to the ground on
last Saturday despite everything
which was done that was possible un
der the circumstances, as there was
no means of fighting the fire except
with buckets, and the fire had gained
too much headway when neighbors
and citizens of Union got there.
The friends and neighbors were
able to remove most of the furniture
before the house was destroyed. The
building was a large farm home, and
built some time since. -The tenant
house also in the yard near,"was only
revented from burning by the heroic
efforts of the sturdy fighters. Many
from Union were there to assist as
they could in getting the furniture
out and also efforts to extinguish the
ames. The building was partially
covered by insurance.

U. B. M. C. Luncheon.
(Kindness of "Whit")
On last Tuesday, which is the day
et aside for the club meetings, at the
sound of the noon day whistle, the
Clark Hotel began to be the scene of
great activity as 17 men gathered for
refreshments and to talk over tne
problems of the village.
Several of the faithful members
were late, being unavoidably detain
ed at their various duties, which re
quired violation of some of the health
rules in order for them to take part
in the business discussion, but as this
included Doctor Claybaugh. the of
fending members were excused with
out medical reprimand.
After the excellent dinner, the
business of the club was transacted
in the regular manner. The first
matter brought to our attention by
President Rihn was the display of
flags on proper occasions, we being
advised he had received a bid on the
.complete installation at $3.50 each,
which included a large flag and a
twelve-foot pole to be placed in the
sidewalk in front of the business
house. Doctor Achenback spoke in
favor of the idea, but considered the
cost a little high, being of the belief
that the work and material for the
job could be contracted for by the
club, or by each individual for less
money. This win De unaer discussion
in future meetings.
On account of the automobile ac
cident in which Mr. Briggs was in
volved, and which prevented nis at
tendance at this meeting. President
Kihn a6ked Rev. Taylor and Secre
tary Smith to transmit a message of
sympathy from the club to Mr.
Briggs.
We learned the six mile paving pro
ject on the "O" street highway was
not included in contracts made to
date, but the fulfillment was not al
together impossible, and the commit
tee will continue work on the proposi
tion, which would mean a paved Main
street.
The date of the entertainment to
be given by the "Men O. N. C." club
of Nebraska City, has been definite
ly set for May 27th, the proceeds to
be equally divided between the fire
men and library funds. Sale of tick
ets will be started soon and every
thing will be done to try and insure
a full house, which is so greatly de
sired by the entertainers.
There are many things of import
ance to this community to be dis
cussed at every meeting. Get in the
game and work for the good of your
village and surrounding territory, as
well as building up Ihe spirit of co
operation which is beginning to be
so strongly displayed.
Meeting adjourned with the sing
ing of "America." Come next Tues
day, and bring a guest.

Depositors Act at Lincoln as Right
to Sue Is Given; Ask for Levy
to Aid Guaranty.
Passage of a resolution in the state
legislature Monday, granting deposi
tors in failed state banks the right to
sue the state, was to be followed to
day by the filing of the first suit,
in district court at Lincoln, it was
announced by William J. Hotz, Oma
ha attorney, Tuesday.
The suit, while nominally in be
half of George N. Seymour, Leonard
N. Seymour and Hoffman & Seymour,
Inc., all of Elgin, Neb., and Theodore
H. Buelt and James H. Covey of Hum
boldt, Neb., is in reality a suit on
behalf of all depositors who have
lost money through operation of fail
ed state banks by the banking de
partment, Mr. Hotz said.
The petition alleges that $2,215,-
169.35 is owing by the state of Ne
braska to the plaintiffs and "other
depositors similarly situated," and
that "the state of Nebraska should
levy taxes and appropriate said
amount of money and pay same into
the guaranty fund for distribution
and payment to plaintiffs and the
other depositors similarly situated."
Holds State Liable.
Associated with Mr. Hotz as coun
sel for the depositors is Clinton J.
Campbell of Lincoln.
The present suit alleges, in part:
"That defendant, state of Nebras
ka, by legislative act, declared and
made the business of banking, in
cluding the receiving and repayment
of deposits, a quasi-public business,
subject to regulation and control of
defendant state; and defendant, by
legislative act, also restricted and
defied the rights and liabilities of its
state banks and the depositors there
of, and generally the relationship.
duties, rights, obligations and liabil
ities of the defendant and state
banks, and depositors thereof, in re
gard to banking business in the state
of Nebraska.
"That by Section 8,028, Compiled
Statutes, 1922, defendant provided
that if the guarantee fund be de
pleted or reduced to an amount less
than 1 per cent of such average daily
deposits, the department of trade and
commerce must levy a special assess
ment against state banks to cover
guch deficiency, such special assess
ment to be based on said average
daily deposits, and when required for
the purpose of immediate payment
to depositors, said assessment to be
for any amount not exceeding 1 per
cent of such deposits.
Failed to Make Levy.
"That for the year 1923, and sub
sequent years, the maximum special
assessment has been levied by the de
fendant as required by law, but that
during the years 1921 to 1924, in
clusive, the guarantee fund was de
pleted below 1 per cent of such aver
age daily deposits of state banks and
that said guarantee fund was de
pleted to such an extent that said
maximum special assessments were
insufficient to bring said depleted
fund up to 1 per cent of such aver
age daily deposits."
