Andy Berg, of the firm of Berg c Galusha, came to America about sev enteen years ago. and located at Roekville, Iowa, where he commenced his American life by clerking for Mr Wm, Henderson of that place. This week Andy received two cabinet pho- toes from his old friend which ho prises very highly, as he considers Mr. Henderson and wife among his most valued friends. On last Friday afternoon a rumer gained credence on the street that the Red Clend National hunk ef thia eity had became involv ed in f aaaeial troablee and was liable U close its doors. Following close upon the first report came another rumor that M. B. Edleman, caahier had migasd, and that L. P. Albright n farmer caahier had been elected to the vacant pceition: This report waa verified Saturday morning when the bank doers were opened. Upon in veetigatiea To Csiir learned that there had been some irregularities in the management of the institution, but it was generally understood that arrangements lad been entered into that would bridge the difficulty and avert the threatened diaaster to the bank. It did look that way aa the new eashier received deposits and - 4fc paia out money up to a:6V p, m. or thereabouts, at which time the bank ahnt down and checks were dis honored. It only took a few minutes for the news to spread over the eity and soon anxious depositors and stockholders were debating their chances sad the probabilities andl causes of the failure. All kinds of I rumors were set afloat in regard to the causes, but the avenues of infor mation were closed, farther than it was stated that the institution had collapsed from too many overdrafts. The excitement was quite general but early Monday morning the National bank examiner appeared on the aoeae and took charge of the af fairs of that institution. At the time the bank closed its doors it is said that $20,000 would cover all deposit with assets more than double, but in the face of the probable assets there were numerous liabilities in transit that could not be estimated. The whole trouble seems to hare been per eipitated from a too liberal uae of overdrafts and namerona claims in sufficiently secured. ran cAVSKs tdCleud Milling oone way or tho $4$,ff$:of individual and by Chi UtonL to be amy crsshsdaesa ia mw tef nWbank, My further than tho liability tf thecfteklifar receiving mm suits his) hmt day knew- lag m they must hare aminn that the bank waa then inaalveni.

It appeara Co. owed the other somethin from some eause wms unable to meet the claims as they matured, and the! bank haviag had its surpljs exhaust ed at its various depositories could do nothing else but let their psper go to protest, the amount being vso large that it literally swamped the iastitu tion in financial ruin. The real cause aowever, datee further back than the poeaent regime. It is alleged that the bank has been in a bad coadition for several months, partly from the same cause. It appears that after Messrs. J. W. Sherwood, L. P. Al bright and others, purchased the con trolling interest, they elected J. W. Sherwood, president and L. P. Al bright, cashier. The then new con cern went along to all intents and purposes, smoothly, but finally began getting hold of some poor securities, among which they held over $20,000 in Red Cloud Milling Co's paper and some other securities that were not altogether prime. The National bank ing law providea that National banka ahall not loan to any one man or firm more than ten per cent of the capital stock. This firm had then secured over 40 per cent of the capital stock, and the management began easting around to unload, so it is stated. Fin ally a deal waa made with certain parties to bay the controlling in terest, Mr. Albright takiag oat $15, 000, as alleged, ia the beat securities tf the beak before retiriag aa eashier, aad turning the rest over to the new stock holders, Messrs. Edleman, Scan Ion and others. This took place about four months sgo. The new management found it absolutely nee essary under the circumstances to carry these parties that had procured suehy firm hold on the bankduring the precetdiag administration, in order to save themselves. The new manage ment, however, had hardly settled down to business, when n run was in stituted on them by certain parties in the city, which nearly wrecked the bank the next dny after it had chang ed handa aad waa the meana ef cut ting down their deposits to leas than $25,000.
