Receiver of Denton Bank Preparing to Pay Heavy Dividends Lewistown, July 29.-Receiver J. R. Miller of the First National bank of Denton has made out checks to the depositors for a 70% dividend. These are now on their way to Washington and will very soon be in the hands of the depositors. An additional dividend will be paid in the near future and it is indicated that this may be as much as 25% and in any event will not be greatly under that figure. In the matter of the receivership of the old Denton State Bank, which failed several years ago, Receiver C. E. Baker has filed a petition for an order to sell all of the assets. Judge J. C. Huntoon will have a hearing upon this on August 24.
