On Saturday Judge George A. Horken, judge of the fifteenth judicial distrist, got busy with his official ax. He let out Receiver John Oliver of the Citizens State Bank. Also let out Receiver Lukes of the Melstone State Bank and turned that bank over to Receiver Cornwell of the Vananda and Layina banks. The court also appointed Lou Jacobson, former casbier of the Vananda State Bank, as receiver of the Bank of Commerce to succeed Receiver Calvin who resigned. Judge Jeffries, upon taking up the judicial duties of the district, sent our old time friend "Jake" back to his War Finance job in Helena and will appoint another receiver for the Bank of Commerce. It is also pretty well understood that Senator John Oliver will be re-instated as receiver of 'the Citizens State Bank. Just what disposition will be made of the Melstone, Lavina and Vananda situations is hard to say. It looks to a man up a tree, as if the new judge was going to be judge.
