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.

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. Thia fact together with the
peer securities on hand did net create
a pleasing spectacle for the new man
