OMAHA RISK CO.
AND CHALCO BANK
IN CONTROVERSY
State Insurance Board Hears
Complaint Over Purchase of
$36,000 of Notes; Bal
lard Out of Race.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, June 14. (Special Tele
gram) The Mutual Benefit, Health
and Accident association of Omaha
and the German-American State bank
of Chalco had an inning before the
state insurance board this afternoon
over a controversy that has arisen,
which may become serious before it
is settled.
It appears from the statements of
the attorneys, 1. J. JSoIan, who ap
peared for the bank.and Mr. Kennedy,
who represented the insurance com
pany, that solicitors for the insurance
company had sold notes amounting
to $36,000 to the Chalco bank. The
transaction came to the notice of the
state banking board and the officers
of .he bank were compelled to make
the amount covered by the purchase
of, the notes good. The bank then
proceeded to attempt to collect on
the notes and asked the insurance
company to make up the balance.
responsible for notes taken by its
agents or for transactions covering
the sale of the same. It appears that
after the bank officers had been noti
fied that the company would , not
stand responsible, the bank pur
chased $19,000 more of the notes.
After the matter had been discussed
at some length, the banking board de
cided to allow depositions to be taken
in the presence of a representative of
the board and the matter come up
later.

on the urgent solicitation of a large
number of republicans, considered
the matter of entering the race for the
nomination for. governor on the re
publican ticket.
A hail storm swept through Mr.
Pollard's orchard at Nehawka and
nearly ruined his apple crop. For
business reasons Mr. Pollard does not
feel justified in entering the contest.
