Reimers, president of the defunct First National bank of Neligh, Neb., and his son, Edward O. Reimers. as sistant cashier, were each sentenced to five years in the Sioux Falls peniten tiary by Judge .'lunger for wrecking the institution of which they were officers.

This case was tried in the federal court in December, 1890. an 1 tlie de fendants were found guilty, A motion was made for a new trial, which the judge took under advisement until Saturday, when he overruled it anti pronounced sentence. The Reimers and Charles R. Allder, cashier, were indicted in October, 1898. Allder was never placed on trial, he being a fugitive from justice some where in Mexico. The charge against the officers of the Neligh hank was falsifying the records, violating the banking laws of the United States and making false reports to the comptroller of the treas ury. It is alleged that originally All der purchased the bank from the Rei mers and that, in doing so he us.d th-1 assets and collateral in making ills payments and that they knew this. Charges of forgery were also made and it is understood that forged notes were discounted and rediscounted with other banks for the purpose of taking up personal obligations. When the receiver, H. .1. Whitmore, took charge of the affairs of the bank he found a shortage of between $80, 000 and $40,000 and liabilities of $110. 000.
