Description

Multiple contemporary articles report the First National Bank of Neligh suspended/closed by the national bank examiner (H. J. Whitmore) on Oct. 19, 1898 and subsequently placed in receivership (Comptroller appointed Whitmore as temporary receiver in early November). No explicit run is described in the texts provided; examiner cited condition made resumption impossible, consistent with a suspension by government action and eventual permanent closure/receivership. Later items (1899) discuss dividends and criminal prosecutions of officers while in receivership.

BROKEN BANKS Pittsburg Concern Is Solvent-A Nebraska House Is Not WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Bank Exam. iner Young has reported to the comptroller of the currency that in his judgment the German National bank of Pittsburg, which closed its doors yesterday, is solvent.

TEMPORARY RECEIVERS NAMED. Actions to Prevent Executions Against the Assets of Closed National Banks. WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-Owing to the decision of Judge Lacombe of New York. that an execution can be levied against the assets of a national bank in the hands of the Comptroller of the Currency at any time prior to his formal appointment of a receiver. and to prevent further attachments upon the funds of the banks which have been closed by the examiners. the Comptroller of the Currency has appointed as temporary receivers the following examiners: William H. Kimball for the Tradesmen's National Bank of the city of New York. Hugh Young for the German National Bank of Pittsburg. Josiah Van Vranken for the First National Bank of Carthage. N. Y.: Edward J. Graham for the Delaware National Bank of Delhi, N. Y.. and Howard J. Whitmore for the First National Bank of Neligh. Neb. This act on the part of the Comptroller will not interfere in any way with the efforts of the officers of these institutions to put the banks into condition for voluntary liquidation, and the Comptroller announced that he will not consent to the voluntary liquidation of these institutions. and will discharge the receivers when assured of the ability of the banks to meet their obligations in full. Comptroller Dawes to-day received Judge Lacombe's opinion in attachment proceedings against the Tradesman's National Bank of New York. The Comptroller. in discussing the decision to-night. said he did not want to stand in the attitude of questioning Judge Lacombe's construction of the statute. but he will have the case carried to the Supreme Court. if necessary. in order to secure a construction of the statute by that tribunal. If Judge Lacombe's decision is sustained legislation will be necessary in order that assets of failed banks may be preserved for benefit of creditors. The Comptroller pointed out the effect of the decision. He said: "If Judge Lacombe's decision is right. it will have a most important bearing on the administration of bank trusts. It will enable some persons who are better informed than others as to the affairs of banks to get out writs and serve them before I have had opportunity to appoint a receiver. thus placing themselves in the position of preferred creditors. As preferred creditors get full amounts of their claims. others must necessarily suffer. This may be done in large cities in some cases. in fact. in nearly all, before I have opportunity to appoint a receiver, or possibly before I even know of the suspension of the bank. A difference of two or three hours even will enable large creditors to attach the greater part of the assets and leave other creditors holding the bag. I hold that the assets of a bank are in my possession and that I stand in the position of trustee under the law from the time the bank's doors are closed to the settlement of its affairs. and that a receiver simply acts as my agent. Pending appeal and decision by the higher courts. I have protected creditors of failed banks now without receivers by appointing examiners in charge temporary receivers.

Nebraska News Notes. Hebron is to be lit by electricity. Burwell will soon have telephone connection with the outside world. A little child of Caesar Corlet of Ord was bitten by a rattlesnake, but prompt medical attention saved its life. The Herman Advertiser is a new candidate for public favor. B. A. Brewster is the editor. It is nonpartisan politically. J. W. Boor of Boone county raised eighty fine squashes from seven seeds furnished him by the Agricultural department. It is estimated by stockmen that at least 25 per cent more cattle will be wintered in Holt county this winter than last. There is yet room for more and cheap lands for new settlers. H. W. Beck was threshing for G. H. Long at his place near Campbell when the grain caught fire from the engine and destroyed Mr. Beck's separator and about 400 bushels of wheat for Mr. Long. There is a great demand for hands to husk corn in Johnson county. Most farmers who are hiring pay 2 cents to 2½ cents per bushel and board the workmen. Hands who board themselves get 3 cents per bushel. The ears are large and a good hand can make pretty fair wages. Receiver Whitmore of the First National bank of Neligh announces there will be another 4 per cent dividend of the assets as soon as the checks can be returned from Washington. This will make 40 per cent that has been disbursed within a year, surpassing any other Nebraska record in the bank failure line in this particular. Miss Meyer, living between Edholm and Octavia, swallowed a sandburr while endeavoring to pick it from her mitten with her teeth while picking corn. The burr lodged in her throat, but did not hurt much until evening when at supper. Next day she was brought to Bellwood and it was with much trouble that Dr. Hewit removed it. The residents of the land which was overflowed last spring in Dakota county by the lake spreading out over their land are talking of digging a ditch from the north end of Crystal lake to the Missouri river for the purpose of draining off the water and redeeming the land for farming. Hundreds of acres of fine farming land are at present under water, while if the ditch were dug the water would gradually disappear.

there are several factories under course of erection along the line of railway represented by him in Colorado. About 30 or 35 of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Brubaker called at their home last evening in a body and gave them a gengine surprise. The visitors brought along large baskets well filled with things which bring comfort to the inner man, and after an evening enjoyably spent the contents of the baskets were brought out and an elegant supper was served. Reciver H. G. Whitmore of the First National bank of Neliegh has brought suit against C. A. Reimers, one of the stock holders. The petitioner alleges that shortly before the bank closed its doors the defendant connived with Charles B. Allder, president, to have the stock owned by the former cancelled and issued to the latter. Now the plaintiff asks the court to set aside the cancellation and transfer and render judgement against the defendant for $13,000, together with interest and costs.

NELIGH BANK WRECK CASE. President and Cashier Are on Trial Charged with Abstracting Funds. Judge Munger is hearing the case of the Government against Christian A. Reimers and his son, Edward O. Reimers, respectively president and assistant cashier of the First National bank of Neligh, now defunct, who are charged with having extracted some $13,000 from the funds of the bank, and with having issued certificates of indebtedness to about the sum of $6,000 with which to pay indebtedness. Horace J. Whitmore, receiver for the bank, is the prosecuting witness representing the government. The entire day was consumed in the presentation of the opening statements and the examination of one witness, William Spencer, who was bookkeeper for the bank, who explained the large amount of documentary evidence offered. The defendants were indicted jointly with Charles R. Adler, who fled to Mexico and escaped arrest.
