Description

The bank closed Dec 3, 1920 and was placed in receivership (G. A. Ebbert appointed June 1921). It was reorganized under new ownership and reopened Feb 1922 (reports give Feb. 23 as reopening date). No contemporaneous article describes a depositor run as the cause of the closing; therefore this is classified as a suspension with later reopening.

G. A. Ebbert Receiver of Mohall Security Bank G. A. Ebbert, formerly manager of the First Farmers Bank of Minot, left Tuesday for Mohall to take charge of the Mohall Security bank of that place, having received his appointment as receiver from E. O. Lofthus, State Bank Examiner, last Saturday. Mr. Ebbert, since the closing of the bank here has been engaged in special work for the bank examiner's office. Mr. Ebbert is a banker of some twenty years' experience having been connected with state and national banks thruout North Dakota in various capacities. He has probably bought, organized and sold more banks than any other banker in the state outside the larger capitalists. He received his early training under the eye of that astute banker, T. L. Beisecker of Fessenden. Mr. Ebbert is well qualified by reason of his long experience to untangle the affairs of the Mohall Security and the stockholders and depositors may be assured that the receivership is in capable hands.

OFFICERS OF CLOSED BANKS ARE RECEIVERS Is Administration State Loyally Taking Care Of Its Friends The Nonpartisan league state administration is showing unusual ability in taking care of its friends in connection with the appointment of receivers for many of the closed banks of North Dakota. The methods pursued might seem a little peculiar to some bankers, but evidently not to O. E. Lofthus, the talented state examiner, appointed by Governor Frazier, who has the appointing of the receivers. Out at Tolley; for instance, one A. M. Fruhs was president of the Tolley State bank, one the first banks to close. In spite of the fact that it was under his administration that he bank found It necessary to close up he has been appointed by Mr. Lofthus an re ceiver of his own bank, rather a novel stunt it would seem There seems to be similar confidence in the ability of A. A. Swanson, who was cashier of the Tolley State bank At least such would seem to be indi cated bv the fact that Mr. Swanson is receiver of the Merchants' State bank at Kenmare. Ebbert Also. Another friend of the administration is G. A. Ebbert, who was general man ager of the First Farmers' bank of Minot, another institution which is in the hands of a receiver. In spite of the fact that Mr. Ebbert was unable to keep his own bank out of the hands of a receiver, he is now receiver of the Mohall Security bank of Mohall. Incidentally it might be mentioned that Lieut. Gov. Howard Wood is whiling away the time between legislative sessions as receiver of the Prosper State bank. These are only a few of the cases that have come to hand. Presumably there are others

Fre# Demcheck is being held at Am. idon by authorities pending the outcome of wounds received by his partner, Pete Ewtichuk, who told authorities that they were inflieted by Demcheck. Both men are unnaturalized Russians. Investigation is being made of the fire which occurred at the Philip Messer farm near Lefor, N. D., by O. T. Haakinson, deputy fire marshal. Complaints that the fire may have been of incendiary origin have been made. Plans for the observance of annual Founders' day at the University, Feb. 22, marking the 39th anniversary of the founding of the institution, are now under way at Grand Forks. The celebration will virtually begin on the evening of Feb. 21, when the annual Carney song contest will take place. The entire student body will take part.

The Great Northern shops at Devils Lake closed yesterday and will not reopen until March 6. The slump in freight traffic and the large number of idle cars and engines is given as the reason for closing. Latest advices from the industrial commission are to the effect that work will not be resumed on the state mill and elevator for some time. It was recently reported from Grand Forks that work would be resumed the first of this month.
