HE OBJECTS AT COLLECTION AT POINT OF GUN Special to The Leader. Shelby, Sept. 28.—W. A. Wayman sprang a new sensation in the line of making collections for insolvent banks when he pulled a gun of R. T. Kaufman of Shelby in an effort to collect $2.05, according to statements made by Mr. Kaufman today in Shelby. Kaufman alleges that he called at the First National bank of Shelby, where W. A. Wayman is acting as receiver, and wished to get some papers from a safe deposit box. When he had the papers he put them in his pocket and was about to walk out when "dunned" by the receiver for $2.05 which he owed the bank, according to Mr. Wayman. Kaufman demurred, insisting that the amount had been paid, and started to again leave the bank, when Wayman drew a revolver, he says, and pointing it at him demanded that he surrender the papers he had taken or pay the amount due. Mr. Kaufman admits that he saw the light and acquiesced, but he didn't think the collection was made in the proper manner and went to see the sheriff to see what could be done about it.

Plans for Resumption of Business by First National. Shelby, Oct. 13.—(Special)—Creditors of the First National bank of Shelby who hold certificates of deposit have filed with the county clerk their trust agreement, in which reopening of that institution is contemplated. The trustees named in the agreement are Sheriff Benjamin, County Clerk MacFarlane and J. H. Stevens. In speaking of the situation Sheriff Benjamin said: "We are confident we can reopen the First National bank soon, and we feel that it would mean a great deal to the people of Toole county, as well as those of other counties, to have the bank resume. "Under our plan there will be a new management composed entirely of local people. We propose that the depositors shall receive First National certificates of deposit payable at the option of the bank on or before two years and bearing 6 per cent interest. This agreement would cover one-half the deposits, and for the other half we propose to issue preferred stock in the bank. "Depositors holding certificates which will entitle them to preferred dividends of 8 per cent per annum would receive such payments from the net earnings of the syndicate. These dividends we propose to pay quarterly, so that the holders may receive returns as soon and as often as possible. "The assets of the syndicate will be comprised of securities now held by the bank and which will be turned over to the syndicate in exchange for an equal amount of bank deposits held by the syndicate. Also, all dividends declared on $22,500 worth of bank stock will be turned over to the syndicate during the time it is in operation. All questionable securities will be charged out of the bank. We propose that the First National shall be absolutely sound. "Knowing the securities as I do that are now held by the bank, I am confident that we will be able to pay the depositors under our plan 100 cents on the dollar, with interest."

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHELBY TO REOPEN BEFORE JANUARY ONE Great Falls, Nov. 24.—The First National bank of Shelby will reopen before January 1, according to Sheriff H. E. Benjamin of Toole county who stopped here enroute to his home in Shelby after taking a youth to the state industrial school at Miles City. The reorganization committee of the bank, Sheriff Benjamin said, has been straightening out the difficulties of the institution and its affairs are now in such condition that only a few details are necessary to open the bank. An entire new directorate will be elected, as well as new officers. Sheriff Benjamin is one of the largest stockholders in the bank. Mr. and Mrs. Carl J. Ramberg of near Rudyard stopped over a few minutes in Gildford Monday morning while enroute to Havre. Mr. Ramberg called at The Tribune office and paid up his subscription to the paper and gave us quite a compliment; saying that they liked the Tribune very much and could not get along without it.

PLAN TO REOPEN BANK APPROVED Comptroller of Currency Approves Plan of Depositors' Committee—Benjamin Now In East After Capital To Hasten Reopening. Jesse G. Henderson, Chairman of the Committee appointed by depositors of the First National Bank of Shelby, today made the following statement as to the present status of the bank: "On Saturday, December 15th, the bank receiver, W. M. Wayman, received a letter from the office of the comptroller of the currency, stating that the plan of reorganization submitted by the Committee was approved and the Benjamin-Stevens plan was not considered feasible, and suggested, however, that the two plans might be harmonized. "Acting upon this suggestion, the Depositors' Committee at once advised Mr. Benjamin that in event he and his associates were able and willing to adopt the committee's plan of reorganization, the committee will back him in his efforts to reopen the bank on that plan. "Mr. Benjamin agreed to make an effort to raise the amount of capital required under the committee plan and it is understood he has gone east with that end in view, and that the committee and Mr. Benjamin and his associates will work in harmony in an endeavor to work out the reorganization under the original plan of the Committee".
