Description
Contemporary articles report the First National Bank of Grand Junction failed to open on July 20, 1893, due to the suspension/failure of Denver banks with which it had accounts. Coverage emphasizes inability to realize on securities rather than insolvency; depositors were assured no one would lose money. Comptroller authorization to reopen appears in late August 1893 (Aug 30), with banks resuming business in early Sept. No specific discrete misinformation-caused run on this bank is described — the closure is tied to correspondent/Denver bank suspensions, so this is a suspension followed by reopening.
