Description

The State Bank of Papillion was taken over by the State Guaranty Fund Commission / state banking department in early July 1926 after discovery of large discrepancies and the disappearance of its president Edward (E.) Goerke. Articles describe alleged embezzlement/forged notes and an estimated shortage (~$171,000–$200,000). There is no clear, contemporaneous description of a depositor run prompting the closure; closure appears driven by bank-specific adverse information and suspected fraud. Receiver Brownell later handled claims; former cashier Marshall was prosecuted.

Copper Rivets By Harry A. Nye The Index Foreman Science says that, of all sounds, baby's cry has the greatest carrying power. And dad is the carrier. The products of California vineyards have increased in price nearly 500 per cent since prohibition-which ought to prove something. Seven persons, all over 100 years old, died in Nebraska last year, all of which leads to the belief that this is an unhealthy climate for old folks. The little things often count. Under certain conditions a broken elastic will cause more commotion than a run on a bank. The refusal of the New York boxing commission to let Dempsy fight Willis just now because he is not in condition, will cause a widespread demand for Dempsy to fight somebody right away, before he has time to get pink. A judge says nagging sometimes does a husband good. So does strychnine, but it should be administered by an expert One point that hasn't been made quite clear is whether John Stink, the Usage hermit, is a her mit from choice. The trouble is that instead of brieging home the bacon, many a fello v brings ome his cooked goose. A man out in the desert of Wyoming who was in a dying condition, wrote his will on his shirt, giving his partner a claim in a paying mine. When the partner returned to San Francisco his wife sent the shirt. to the laundry and the will was washed out. 'Cleanliness before riches" is a woman's motto. "He that hath hands, let him use them," IS an old Chinese proverb. But in those days the Chinese had no pickpoekets or prize fighters. One of the bes rules for conversation is to use only words you know you can pronounce correctly. When in doubt, select other words to convey your meaning. The English language is the most elaborate one on the globe. Things must be bad in the gang war, when one woman, Mrs. Frank Camera, is widowed twice in one month by gangsters. Chicago would no doubt be pleased to accept any plan for ridding the city of gangsters. Thomas Jefferson's one-horse gig is being exhibited at the Philadelphia S e S a uicentennial. It is probable that Jefferson's gig is more popular in that town than his political doctrines would be in one of its primary elections. Is a man of the political status of Brookhart, a good representative for any state? A man of this day and age should either be a democrat or a republican, for people to have confidence in. A man who doesn't know on which side his bread is buttered, can't represent the people rightfully. A wishy-washy politician is no good at all. Speaking of airplane and automobile rides, but how would you like to ride an iron beam from the ground up to the twentieth story of a skyscraper, with nothing between you and the earth but a slender cable. Girl who slapped a preacher's face in Kentucky recently for calling her a "painted flapper, has been set free. Some day she may slap a prize fighter and spend a few days in the hospital. Spending a little matter of nearly a quarter of a million dollars for campaign expenses does not seem to bother some Pennsyl. vania candidates.

The State Bank of Papillion has been taken over by the Guaranty Fund Commission and it is estimated that losses nearing $200,000 will fall on the State Guarantee Fund. D. E. Marshall was cashier and E. G.Goerke was president. Mrs. R. A. Lucas, of Wisner, who inherited $100,000 from her brother, a banker at Bancroft, has donated $85,000 to the Methodist hospital at Omaha. Her nephew tried to prove in court that she was insane but the court holds her sane and the hospital will get the money. H.
