Lasar Twelve deeds conveying property in this county were filed here to-day as a result of the suspension of the County Bank of this city and of the Bank of Paso Bobles of Paso Robles. Two of these were from F. D. Frost, cashier and manager of the Bank of Paso Robles, to J. B. Earle, representing the Anglo-Californian Bank of San Francisco; two were from R. E. Jack, cashier of the County Bank, to J. B. Earle; five were from the County Bank to the Anglo-California Bank, and three were from the County Bank to J. B. Earle. These deeds were delivered to the grantees about a year ago, indicating that already at that time these institutions were making heroic efforts to keep afloat. As was anticipated the Commercial Bank failed to open for business today. After a meeting of its directors a written notice, brief but pregnant with significance, was posted on one of the doors, reading: "Bank closed; will not open." During the morning and part of the afternoon small groups of people gathered in front of the bank and amused themselves gossiping about the suspensions and gazing longingly at the drawn blinds, which effectually concealed what was transpiring behind them. Every one took the situation philosophically, and while there were many expressions of disappointment there were few words of blame for the managers of the unfortunate bank. It is believed this institution will make as good a showing as the County Bank, as equally responsible people are connected with it. Its capital stock is $200,000, divided into 2000 shares of $100 each. Its shareholders and their respective holdings are as follows: Shares. Shares
