STATE BANK CLOSES ITS DOORS Monday at 1:00 P. M., the State Bank of Nashua closed its doors for an indefinite period. The reason, as far as can be learned, it was closed to stop a run on the Bank.

reopened for business. The First National bank of Malta failed to open for business Monday morning when the depositors found the word "elosed" on the doors. Local officers of the bank_decline to make any statement further than that the failure to open was caused by the heavy withdrawals which began a week ogo. The First National is one of a chain of banks in which the Sheldon brothers of Minneapolis are heavily interested. Saturday the bank was open, but was not paying any checks or receiving any deposits. It was reported at that time that J. E. Arnot of Glasgow, president of the bank, had left for Minneapolis Christmas night to see if arrangements could be made to prevent the elosing. Mr. Arnor has not yet returned. Phillips County has $48,960.58 on deposit in the First National, according to County Treasurer Dutro, which is protected by a $50,000 bond, consisting of $10,000 Liberty bonas, $10,000 in approved school warrants, and a $30,000 personal bond with A. M. Sheldon, J. E. Arnot and Lyman Barnes as surities. The city of Malta has $7,000 on deposit, protected by a personal bond of $10,000, with A. M. Sheldon and J. E. Arnot os sureties. It is presumed that the national bank authorities will take control as soon as they reach here. The officers wished to make no statement as to assets or deposits. The closing of the bank came as a surprise. Two years ago it was rumored that the bank had too many "frozen assets" but it was presumed that it had weathered the hard times. No blame is attached to the present management by the general public, frozen assets being considered to have had large part in the closing.

The county treasurer. as a matter of fact, did everything that could be done to help the bank even in its last tottering moments. When he found that checks for several thousand dollars, would embarass the bank he went out and took up with checks on the other two Malta banks the checks in circulation on the First National. As n matter of fact, the weakness of the First National bank of Malta has been freely and frankly talked in Malta for "several years," and that talk was always intensified every time one of the heavier depositors tried to get his money out of the bank and found It difficult to do so. That condition was not due or any excited netion on the part of depositors. It was the fault of itself. and due to the condition in which Sheldon and A. M. Sheldon had put the bank. Now comes the Scobey Sentinel with smoothly conceived story. which published in full:

SCOBEY SENTINEL BROKE THE BANK The Scobey Sentinel recently printed the story given below in explanation of the closing of the SheldonArnot banks December 28th. We give the answer to it first There is not a scintilla of truth in it. first place, Phillips county did not have $75,000.00 in The First National bank to draw out. In the second place, The First Na tional bank didn't have much more than $75.00 with which to pay the money Phillips county did have in the bank, according to the best local information available. In the third place, the father of the county treasurer has been dead for a number of years, and the idea that the county treasurer started a run on the bank because the bank foreclosed on his father is therefore the reductio absurdum. In the fourth place, SO far as the records show, no sort of foreclosure proceedings had anything to do with the closing of the bank. In the fifth place, there was no run on the bank. because every depositor who had any considerable sum in the bank knew its weakness and was there fore afraid for its own sake, if for no other, to start run, and, because further, that he was probably told by the bank officials that if he insisted on having his money the bank would have to close. This was certainly true of the City of Malta, which had $7,000.00 on deposit there, and of Phillips county, which had approximately $50,000.00. In the sixth place, and in all the other places, the article is untrue because nobody in Malta was really sur prised at the bank's closing, and most people had wondered for two years how it ever managed to stay open. Read the brilliant story in the Scobey Sentinel and laugh: REPORTS SAY BANKS GOOD "Although conceded to be perfectMy solvent, three banks in Valley county and one bank in Phillips county closed their doors Tuesday and Wednesday in threatened runs. These are the Glasgow National Bank: the First Natlonal Bank of Malta: The State Bank of Nashua and the Valley County bank of Hinsdale, Malta being in Phillips county and the others in Valley county. "The banks included in this closing part of string of banks owned by the Sheldon Bros. of Minneapolis and E. Arnot, the latter being president of the "The Malta bank was the first one to close its doors, the action being voluntary one. It is alleged that the bank of Malta foreclosed on some propowned. local party in that city. That party's son according to a report in circulation here, Is the county treasurer of Phillips county. He Is said to have withdrawn $75,000 of county deposits from the Malta bank following the foreclosure procéedings, and when this became noised around among the people it started a run on the bank. In order to sufe guard the interests of the depositors Mr. Arnot closed the bank. The state of affairs in Malta had in the meantime become known in Glasgow, and a run started there and insted an hour before the bank at that place was also closed. and in anticipation of runs on their banks Mr. Arnot called the bank at Nsahun and Hinsdale on the phone and had the doors closed until the examiner could have chance to go over their affairs and see how they "These banks have always been known as strong financial institutions and were wholly solvent during the days when good banks were actually failing. It is certain that as soon ns the examiners complete their work and report will that the banks are solvent, they be re-opened again. The loss of the deposits from the county would not have been noticed had it not been accompanied by a Panic among Multa depositors, circumstance that would break the strongest bank unless checked. "We have been at some pains to verithe details of this story and do not want anyone to feel that we are trying to belittle anyone's character. If the reports coming in are true, It would seem that Phillips county needs new as It serious thing to shake the solvency of a because It may mean the of ruin demany

THE GLASGOW TIMES A Republican Newspaper Succeeding The Glasgow Democrat. Entered as second-class matter August 13, 1913, at the postoffice at Glasgow, Mont., under Act of March 3, 1879. The Glasgow Democrat established June 26, 1913. The Glasgow Times established March 6, 1925. Published every Friday at 517 Front St Glasgow, Mont., By GORDON VALLANDIGHAM Subscription, $2.00 the Year, Payable in Advance. THE SHELL GAME OF THE SHELDON BROTHERS The information given to the Montana banking department by A. M. Sheldon of Minneapolis that he alone holds the interests that until "several years ago" were held jointly by himself and his brother, F. P. Sheldon, under the firm name of Sheldon Brothers, in the three Valley county banks and one in Phillips county which closed their doors on December 28, last, has brought severe condemnation upon them from the newspapers of Malta, to which their are justly entitled if the charges brought against them are borne out in fact. Reports from Minneapolis, traceable, it is said, directly to A. M. Sheldon, are to the effect that he is unable to meet his obligations in the closed Montana banks, and that F. P. Sheldon is not responsible for those obligations because several years ago he had sold out his Montana interests to A. M. Sheldon. The logical inference of all this, declares the Phillips County News, "is that 'several years ago' A. M. Sheldon and F. P. Sheldon devised a split, and that F. P. Sheldon took the assets and A. M. Sheldon took the liabilities Presumably, and to all legal intents and purposes, A. M. Sheldon, who owns the stock in the collapsed banks and whose name is attached to the bonds securing deposits in the banks, is broke, and F. P. Sheldon, who owns nothing in Montana, and is liable for nothing in the collapsed banks, has the money. "This is the framework of the story that is now afloat for the consolation of the people who lost their money in the First National bank of Malta, the Valley County State bank of Hinsdale, the Nashua State bank, and the Glasgow National bank. It now looks very much as if the two Sheldons, F. P. Sheldon and A. M. Sheldon, 'several years ago' deliberately set out to finish the First National bank of Malta, and it is the settled conviction of many people that that is exactly what they did do. "In that significant 'several years ago' the two Sheldons formed a corporation known as The Sheldon Brothers company, and that company became and still is the harbor of safety for the personal responsibility of this foxy pair. "The broad inference forced on the people by the actions of A. M. and F. P. Sheldon is that they knew that sooner or later the bank would collapse, and the general conclusion is that they were careful only to see that it did not collapse around their own smooth heads." In simple language, they devised a nice little scheme by which "A. M. Sheldon went legally broke, F. P. Sheldon kept the money in the family, and the innocent people who had their money tied up in the bank were left holding the bag." The Malta Enterprise notes that not just one, but both brothers, came from Minneapolis to attend the an- nual meetings of the Malta bank. "Of course," says the Enterprise, "only one of them may be interested at this time in the banking business in Montana, but it most always happened that two of them came here. It is just barely possible that they thought so much of each other that they could not stand it to be separated while one was away visiting his business interests." Both newpapers also take occasion to correct a number of erroneous ideas that have been circulated concerning the bank at Malta after its closing. The most persistent of these rumors was that there had been a run on the bank just prior to its closing and that the treasurer of Phillips county had forced the run by withdrawing a $75,000 deposit of county funds. The Scobey Sentinel was one paper which made the assertion, stating that it had "gone to some pains to verify the details of this story and do not want anyone to feel that we are trying to belittle anyone's character." As a matter of fact, says the Malta Enterprise, "the county had but $48,960.58 on deposit with the First National bank at the time it closed. As for a run on the bank, it was far from that. Some few depositors dropped in and withdrew their money while others were unable to withdraw what they had in the bank. Those in charge of the bank in this citywere confident up until Sunday night that the money would be forthcoming from those who were supposed to own the institution to keep it open." The Scobey Sentinel's account that the closing of the Malta bank was forced by the county. treasurer, who withdrew the county funds because of foreclosure proceedings brought by the bank against property of the treasurer's father, bears "not"a scintilla of truth" according to the Phillips County News, which disposes of this assertion with the statement that "the father of the county treasurer has been dead for a number of years, and the idea that the county treasurer started'a run on the bank because the bank foreclosed on his father is therefore the reductio ad absurdum. So far as the records show, no sort of foreclosure proceedings had anything to do with the closing of the bank."

DEFUNCT MALTA BANK DISPOSES OF ALL ASSETS MINNEAPOLIS MAN PAYS $500 FOR EQUIPMENT, NOTES AT PUBLIC SALE. Malta, June 27.-Remaining assets, including office equipment and furniture of the former First National bank, Malta, were purchased for $500 by Ray J. Becwah of the Federal Reserve bank, Minneapolis, at the public sale held by Receiver Frank Browne at Malta. Previous to the sale to Mr. Becwah individual bids were called for on various items, the total individual bids received amounting to $219. Assets listed carried a book value of between $45,000 and $50,000, including judgments obtained in federal court by Receiver Browne against J. E. Arnot, A. M. Sheldon and William G. Schneider on their stock. Other items included a safe, adding machines, other office equipment and some unsound paper. It is reported that the checks will be mailed depositors for dividends, which will probably not exceed three per cent on the dollar. The First National bank closed December 28, 1925, at the same time banks controlled by Sheldon Brothers, Minneapolis, at Glasgow, Nashua and Hinsdale also closed. Efforts to get A. M. Sheldon into Montana have failed, though both Valley county and Phillips county have endeavored to have him extradited. Both counties lost heavily through loss of deposits.
