oessor at Omaha Rational
Selected Yet.
C. B. Anderson, cashier of the Omaha
National bank, baa resigned and will return
to Crete, Neb., to reside. The resignation,
which has been addressed to the directors
of the bank, asks for relief from duny oa
March IS, but Mr. Anderson may remain a
few weeks longer If ths directors find Any
difficulty In filling his place.
There hsve been no differences between
Cashier Anderson and the other officials
of the bank, ths resignation having been
prompted only by the desire of Mr. snd
Mrs. Anderson to return to their old homs
in Crete, and the consideration on the part
of the bauker that his investments In
Crete, Ord and Oklahoma are more attrac
tive and profitable than his new position in
Omaha.
Mr. Anderson and his associates have re
cently purchased the Ord Stste bank and
Interested themselves In a bank and invest
ment company at Blackwell, Ok!., and these
properties, as well as the bank at Crete,
afford a more congenial field for the ex
ercise of Mr. Anderson's energies than he
finds In this city.
No one has been selected yet to succeed
Mr. Anderson as osshlsr of the Omaha Na
tional, and a choice will not be made until
Senator Millard, the president of the Insti
tution, is heard from. William Wallace,
who preceded Mr. Anderson as cashier snd
who now occupies ths position of vies pres
ident, wss' seen at his residence last night
and said: '
"Yes, it is true that Mr. Anderson has
resigned and that his resignation will take
effect some time next month. Ths only rea
son tor the change Is Mr. Anderson's desire
to devote his time to his prlvats enter
prises. I cannot say who will succeed Mr.
Anderson as cashier tor the reason that no
cholcs has yet been made. We have eeveral
names under consideration, but they are not
tor publication."
Mr. Anderson Is having his residence at
Crete refitted and he and Mrs. Anderson
