BOND TO PAY DEPOSITORS Steckholders of German Bank of Murdook to Wind Up Affairs. POLITICIANS ARE HEADED FOR LINCOLN Full Attendance is Expected at the Meeting of the Republican State Committee Thursday Night. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 16.-(Special.)-Acting in accordance with a section of the Nebraska banking act, the State Board of Banking today approved the bond of the stock holders of the defunct German bank of Murdock, under which the stockholders agree to pay all claims against the institution within the next six months. By the terms of the agreement they are to be given possession of all of the paper and records of the bank. They will wind up its affairs in their own way, but are liable for all deposits and bills outstanding. It is understood that the stockholders will appoint C. F. Cuthman, cashier of the Bank of Murdock, as trustee. The liabilities of the defunct bank are approximately $40,000. The paper of the bank is said to be good for its face value. Mr. Cuthman was one of the stockholders of the institution. Under this arrangement no receiver will be appointed. The bond is for $70,000. The German bank of Murdock was closed by order of the State Banking board two weeks ago, it having been learned that one of its officers had been guilty of a direct violation of the law. This violation was the issuance of a certificate of deposit for $3,000, without having it registered in the bank, or the deposit credited. The law under which the stockholders are permitted to make the settlement is seldom made use of, only two or three bonds of this character having been approved in the last five years. In the case of the Omaha Savings bank, the stockholders of which obligated themselves to pay off all claims against the institution, an extension of time was given, but in the other cases the settlements were satisfactorily made within the time specified. State Committee Meeting. The meeting of the republican state central committee in this city tomorrow night will bring forth many of the party leaders and campaign workers. Chairman H. C. Lindsay has invited all nominees on the state and congressional tickets to attend the conference and the chairmen of the congressional district committees are also expected to be present. Mr. Lindsay has been in Hot Springs, S. D., for two weeks, taking treatment for rheumatism. He will return tomorrow afternoon and unless forced away by further illness will give his undivided attention to the work of the campaign until it closes. Acting Governor Steele this afternoon issued a proclamation offering a reward of $200 for the apprehension of William J. Alexander, murderer of Charles Hall. The murder was committed in Madison on July 4. Alexander had been gambling and claimed that he lost heavily. He undertook to hold up the establishment in which he had been playing and in the process shot and killed Hall. The identity of the murderer is not disputed. Hall was formerly a barber in Omaha. New Corporations. Articles of incorporation of the American Game company of Omaha were recorded in the secretary of state's office. They set forth that the object of the company is to promote the interests of indoor sports and pastimes and to purchase at retail and wholesale any games or supplies that may be needed. The company is capitalized for $10,000. Its incorporators are E. L. Jaynes, H. E. Jaynes and M. L. Lampheer. The Ivy Press company of this city has been incorporated with a capital stock of $15,000. The incorporators are Frank L. Lemon and Lincoln C. Lemon. The Henry Herman company, a Milwaukee company, incorporated under the laws of Nebraska, has changed its corporate name to the City Investment company. A certificate of the dissolution of the Nebraska Retail Liquor Dealers' Protective association was filed. The association recently reincorporated, using the old name without the word "protective" therein. William H. Thompson of Grand Island, fusion candidate for governor, filed a statement to the effect that he expended no money in securing the nomination. Because of his residence in the town where the conventions were held Mr. Thompson had an advantage over the other nominees on the fusion ticket, for as they were nonresidents, all had to pay for hotel accommodations. Later reports to the Department of Public Instruction show that five counties voted to organize adjunct High school districts in accordance with the free High school attendance law. They are Antelope, Jefferson, Madison, Douglas and Cass. A requisition was issued by the acting governor for the return of Leo Jordan, who is wanted in Omaha for trial on a complaint signed by Florence Smith, charging assault. He is under arrest in Creston, Ia. The Commercial club this afternoon voted to have the city tax cases appealed to the district court. The complaints are against the assessment of three public service corporations, the Nebraska Telephone company, the Lincoln Gas and Electric company and the Lincoln Traction company. The city council declined to disturb the figures returned by the tax commissioner. The Commercial elub asked to have all of them raised. Team Stolen at St. Edward. ST. EDWARD, Neb., July 16.-(Special.)A fine black driving team, together with a buggy and set of harness, belonging to Ed De Ware of this place, was stolen from his stable early Tuesday.
