A Nebraska Bank Failure. AN EXAMINER FINDS THE ASSETS OF THE CONCERN MUCH GREATER THAN THE LIABILITIES. CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-A dispatch from Red Cloud, Neb., says: The closing of the doors of the Red Cloud national bank. in this city. caused great excitement among the people. It seems that the bank has been financially troubled for some weeks. The principal ownership of the bank was recently changed and an attempt was made to create a run on the bank, and had it not been for private aid it would have had to close its doors the next day after the change had taken place. This alone has been the means of injury to the concern, but everything seemed to be moving along nicely until Saturday evening, when the bank officials, after a hasty examination of the affairs of the bank, refused to pay their checks. This was not decided upon, however, until numerous protests of paper had been made at different points over the country. The bank paid checks and received money up to 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. As nearly as can be learned, the bank owes to its depositors about $20,000 and it is understood that they have other liabilities amounting to something like $50,000, but it is impossible to get hold of the facts, as National Bank Examiner Griffith is now in charge of the concern. It is reported that he has found the assets to be largely in excess of the liabilities and advises the officials to open up the bank as soon as they can get the consent of the controller of currency to do no. The bank was capitalized at $50,000. Close times and a failure to collect outstanding paper are the principle causes of the failure.

A BIG FAILURE. Much Excitement Caused In Red Cloud, Neb., by a Suspension of a National Bank. RED CLOUD, Neb., Dec. 27.-The closing of the doors of the Red Cloud National bank in this city has caused great excitement among the people. It seems that the bank has been in financial difficulties for some weeks. The principal ownership of the institution was recently changed, and an attempt was made to create a run on the bank, and had it not been for private aid it would have been obliged to close its doors the next day after the change had taken place. This alone hurt the credit of the concern, but everything seemed to be moving along nicely until Saturday evening, when the officials, after a hasty examination of the affairs of the bank, refused to pay their checks. This was not decided upon, however, until numerous protests of paper had been made at different points in the country. The bank paid checks and received money until 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. As nearly as can be learned the bank owes its depositors about $20,000, and it is understood that there are other liabilities amounting to something like $50,000, but it is impossible to get hold of the facts, as National Bank Examiner Griffith is now in charge.

Sthe National Bank Examiner. CAUSES, EFFECTS, ETC. Oa last Friday afternoon s rumor gained credence on the street that the Red Cloud National bank of this city had became involved is financial troubles and was liable to close its doors. Following close upon the first report came smother rumor that M. B. Edleman, cashier had resigned, and that L. P. Albright a former cashier had been elected to the vacant position: This report was verified Saturday morning when the bank doors were opened. Upon investigation Tun CHIEF learned that there had been some irregularities in the management of the institution, but it was generally understoed that arrangements had been entered into that would bridge the difficulty and avert the threatened disaster to the bank. It did look that way as the new cashier received deposits and paid out money up to 3:30 P. m. or thereabouts, at which time the bank shut down and checks were dishonored. It only took a few minutes for the news to spread over the city and soon anxious depositors and stockholders were debating their chances and the probabilities and causes of the failure. All kinds of rumors were set afloat in regard to the causes, but the avenues of information were closed, farther than it was stated that the institution had collapsed from too many overdrafts. The excitement was quite general but early Monday morning the National bank examiner appeared on the scene and took charge of the affairs of that institution. At the time the bank closed its doors it is said that $20,000 would cover all deposits I with assets more than double, but in the face of the probable assets there were numerous liabilities in transit that could not be estimated. The whole trouble seems to have been percipitated from a too libéral use of overdrafts and numerous claims insufficiently secured. THE CAUSES. ed Cloud Milling It appears the Co. owed the be tio one way or the other something ofe of $39,000, but 0 from some cause was unable to meet the claims as they matured, and the s bank having had its surplus exhausted at its various depositories could do S nothing else but let their paper go to protest, the amount being so large that it literally swamped the institution in financial ruin. The real cause nowever, dates further back than the poesent regime. It is alleged that the bank has been in a bad condition & for several months, partly from the e same cause. It appears that after Messrs. J. W. Sherwood, L. P. Ale bright and others, purchased the controlling interest, they elected J. W. Sherwood, president. and L. P. Albright, cashier. The then new concern went along to all intents and purposes, smoothly, but finally began getting hold of some poor securities, among which they held over $20,000 in Red Cloud Milling Co's paper and j some other securities that were not 1 altogether prime. The National bank& ing law provides that National banks h shall not loan to any one man or firm more than ten per cent of the capital P stock. This firm had then secured over 40 per cent of the capital stock, o and the management began casting around to unload, so it is stated. Fin, ally a deal was made with certain parties to buy the controlling in& terest, Mr. Albright taking ont $15,. 000, as alleged, in the best securities of the bank before retiring as cashier, 1 1 and turning the rest over to the new 1 tock holders, Measrs. Edleman, Scana on and others. This took place about four months ago. The new management found it absolutely neo1 essary under the circumstances to carry these parties that had procured such'a firm hold on the bank during the 1 preceeding administration, in order to e save themselves. The new manage. ment. however, had hardly settled

of the bank before retiring as cashier, and turning the rest over to the new stock holders, Messrs. Edleman, Scanlon and others. This took place about four months ago. The new management found it absolutely necessary under the circumstances to carry these parties that had procured such a firm hold on the bank during the preceeding administration, in order to save themselves. The new management, however, had hardly settled down to business, when a run was instituted on them by certain parties in the city, which nearly wrecked the bank the next day after it had changed hands and was the means of cutting down their deposits to less than $25,000. This fact together with the poor securities on hand did not create a pleasing spectacle for the new managers of the Red Cloud National bank hence they had to strain every nerve to keep their heads above financial ruin, but the load was too great for them to carry under adverse circumstances, and the bank had to succumb to the inevitable. The principal creditors of the bank are the National Bank of Commerce, of Kansas City, and the Fort Dearborn National, of Chicago, who hold it is stated, about

Opened Up. The Red Cloud National bank, which it will be remembered was closed just before Christmas, from causes which are well-known to this community, was re-opened on Wednesday morning for the transaction of of business with Lew Albright as cashier. It is understeod that the bank of Commerce of Kansas City and the Fort Dearborn National bank of Chicago who were heavily interested are the principal parties who have put the bank on its feet again, this being the only way they could come out whole and save the stock holders loss which must have been the evident result had the affairs of the institution passed into the hands of a receiver, as it is the depositors will get their money and in time the stockbolders will no doutt be able to make the bank pay if managed properly managed. In fact it is the opinion of some that the bank should never have been closed up and would not have been had it not been for a little cross firing in the directory. The failure of any institution in a city is 8 bad thing and THE CHIEF will be pleased to note its successful future.

STATE AND TERRITORY. Nebraska Jottings. There are 511 pupils in the Columbus schools. Broken Bow shipped 323 cars of produce in 1888 and imported 703 cars of merchandise. Dean Gardner, of Omaha, is to conduct a seven-day mission at Columbus, beginning February 4. Another general store has been opened at Ellis, making the third now running at that piace. Kinney & Harrigan, Exeter saloonkeepers, have been fined $25 and costs for selling liquor to minors. The citizens of Columbus are working hard to secure the state encampment of the Knights of Pythias. Fire at Long Pine gutted the clothing store of T. P. Renshaw, but most of the stock was saved, though badly damaged by water. A move is being made at Springfield to rid the town of females of questionable character. One of the women has been arrested. The Barneston Bell has stopped tinkling. It did not make a big enough noise to drown the music of its numerous Gage county competitors. The democratic board of commissioners of Polk county would not receive bids for printing their proceedings, but gave the job to the Polk County Democrat for $100, a raise of $30 over the amount paid last year. John W. Gordon, who escaped from a deputy sheriff at Minden, Neb., two weeks ago, while under arrest for embezziement from a Masonic lodge, was captured at Columbus by Sheriff Bloedorn and turned over to Sheriff Hill, of Kearney county. The Brewster (Blaine county) Democrat contains this plaintive wail: "It is to be lamented that there are those in our community so low in scale of humanity that they cannot attend social parties without stealing articles of clothing." The streets of Scotia were taken possession of by a crowd of hilarious countrymen the other night, and the saloonkeeper was obliged to close up his shop to prevent a raid. Ladies did not dare to venture out, and the towu marshal was nowhere to be found. Tho Red Cloud National bank, which has been in the hands of United States Bank Examiner Griffith for the past three weeks, opened its doors Wednesday under a new management, with L. P. Albright as cashier. Judge Rich, of Chicago, and Richard Gentry, of Kansas City, are among the new stockholders and directors.
