Articles (Omaha Daily Bee, July 17-22, 1910) report that the American Savings Bank had been in receivership and that receiver Joseph W. Thomas petitioned for final discharge; petition to be heard July 20, 1910, and a follow-up note states the receiver was discharged and that stockholders by subscription paid all claims.
