Description

The People's/Peoples State Bank at Hatton closed several times.

Engen) was placed in charge by late 1921/Dec 1921 and the bank was liquidated (assets offered for sale 1922); dividends paid to depositors in 1925. No clear contemporaneous report of a depositor run; primary cause cited was depleted/shortage of reserve (bank-specific adverse conditions).

ABOUT $100,000 IN CLOSED LEAGUE BANK AT HATTON Deposits in the People's State bank of Hatton which closed its doors several days ago amount to about $100.000 according to word received from the state examiner's office at Bismarck. This marks the second time within the year that the bank has been compelled to close on account of the shortage of its reserve, having closed in December, and opened again last spring. The belief was expressed in Hatton early this week that the directors of the bank would go to the rescue and keep it running until after the recall election fearing the effect which its closing might have on the league vote around Hatton. The People's State bank was one of the string of league banks organized by J. J. Hastings and Thomas Allen Box, formerly in the employ of the Nonpartisan league. At the time of the investigation of the affairs of the Bank of North Dakota last winter tt was found that the Hatton bank had about $30,000 in loans and deposits from the state institution. How much public money it may have now is not known.

of the Prosper State bank and the People's State bank of Hatton as well. Service of demand by F. B. Wood, trustee, that approximately $98,000 subscribed for capital stock in the league's "shake down" meeting in 1919 be returned to him. Institution of suits against stockholders for the colletion of a 100 per cent levy on their stock, the actions including several against the League Exchange, Inc., several prominent leaguers and several former bank officers. These developments come on the eve of the trial of Frank C. Heaton, former teller of the bank who must answer in the Cass County district court today to the charge of embezzling approximately $77,000 of the bank's funds. The change in receivership of the Fargo bank was ordered by the state banking board at Bismarck. Mr. Engen said that he expects to combine the work of the Fargo bank with that of the Prosper State bank, of which Howard Wood, lieutenant governor, has been receiver. The demand that Mr. Wood, as trustee representing a group of Nonpartisan farmers who were induced to subscribe for stock in the bank at the time of its first closing, has served as the receiver, brings into relief one of the most picturesque of the many and varied undertakings of the league leaders, when they were under fire in connection with their financial operations. Mr. Woods pleads now for the return to him, as trustee, of approximately $98,000 that was deposited in the bank to his credit for the purchase of capital stock at the rate of $210 a share. This money was subscribed at the time of the famous "shakedown" league meeting held in Fargo addressed by Townley and William Langer and Thomas Hall, majority members of the banking board in 1919.

STOCKHOLDERS PAY DEPOSITORS OF HATTON BANK Depositors of the Peoples State Bank at Hatton, Traill county, are receiving from the office of L. R. Baird, general receiver, the first 100 per cent dividend in a closed bank in North Dakota. The payment is made possible through action of stockholders in advancing funds in the hope that they may be reimbursed in the final windup of the affairs of the institution. Approximately $70,000 is being paid to depositors of the bank, which closed Oct. 22, 1921. There were 175 stockholders in the institution, and stockholders voluntarily contributed funds enough to make reimbursement of depositors possible. Because the bank had been in existence a comparatively short time it is possible that enough may be realized from assets to reimburse stockholders, at least in part, after they have sacrificed their stock and part of the double liability against them. The stockholders, in raising the cash, made one of the conditions that the general receivership system continue to be used in liquidating the affairs of the bank. Credit for working out the method for reimbursing depositors is given by Mr. Baird to O. L. Engen of Fargo, who was individual receiver for the bank and now has it under his charge as district receiver. Another dividend of 30 percent has been paid to stockholders of the Peoples State bank of Leith, which also had been opened a comparatively short time before it closed. A 20 percent and a 10 percent dividend is being followed by the 30 percent dividend, which in addition to the 10 percent dividend of the depositors guaranty fund commission, will give depostors of that bank 70 percent of their money, with prospect of obtaining more. Another dividend of 10 percent to depositors of the Security State bank of Columbus is heing paid by the receiver through the guaranty fund commission.
