THE EXCHANGE BANK SUSPENDS Now in the Hands of the State Bank Commissioner. DEPOSITS WILL BE PAID IN FULL The Stockholders are All Wealthy and Will Be Able to Make All Claims Good. The good people of Goodland were completely surprised Thursday forenoon when the Exchange bank closed and posted a notice on the door that the bank was closed and in the hands of the state bank commissioner. That official was telegraphed for and is now here and in charge of the bank's affairs. H. M. Haller, although not now connected with the institution, is well posted on the condition of the bank, and states that the deposits and all claims against the institution will be paid in full. Four-fifths of the stock is held by wealthy eastern capitalists who are liable for double the amount of stock under the new banking law if it was needed to straighten up accounts. which isn't at all probable There is no question but what the de posits can all be paid and still leave & surplus. Mr. A. W. Hostetter left for Kansas City Tuesday night in the hopes of getting assistance to tide over the crisis, but sent word back that he failed, and to close the doors. The Exchange was founded in 1888 and has always done a good business and enjoined the full confidence of the public. And now in the face of the suspension the depositors are not uneasy, all believing that they will receive their money at 100 cents on the dollar. Goodland has had two bank failures in its history and in every case all claims have been met in full, and it is to be hoped that this will not be be an exception.

J. W. HEDGES. THE BANK FAILURE. No Receiver Will Be Appointed if Stockholders Come to the Rescue. The affairs of the Exchange bank of this city, which closed its doors last Thursday, are in charge of State Bank Commissioner John W. Briedenthal. The examination found $1,153.54 in cash and overdrafts, amounting to about $2,500. The deposits amount to about $9,000. To pay up depositors and save the securities from being sacrificed, the stockholders will have to pay in about $5,500. A letter from Briedenthal states that the stockholders have written him asking how to proceed to pay up the arrears and save the bank from going into the hands of a receiver. It is to be hoped that the things can be arranged and everyone paid off by the first of January.

EXCHANGE BANK RECEIVERSHIP

R. J. Jones Has Been Appointed Receiver of the Defunct Bank. Assistant Attorney General Goddard was in the city Monday on business connected with the defunct Exchange bank, to which Treasurer-elect Jones has been appointed receiver. The bank's affairs, it is reported, are as bad, or worse, than when first suspended, as more deposits were received. The collections have been slow and the proceeds gradually eaten up by running expenses. As soon as Mr. Jones files his bond the assets of the bank will be turned over to him and the affairs straightened up as rapidly as possible. Even with the best of success with outstanding paper there will be a large deficiency.
