Crete Bank Affairs. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 1.-Receiver Miller of the defunct State Bank of Nebraska at Crete, today filed with the clerk of the supreme court a request for instructions on a point which has already been raised by him in the discharge of his duties. He states to the court that after examining the books he has discovered that individuals and firms to the number thirty in all are indebted to the bank in the aggregate sum of $13,718.42. These same parties have deposits in the bank to the amount of $5,362.70. He desires the court to decide for him whether he shall give these parties credit on their indebtedness to the full amount of their indebtedness, or only credit them with such part of their deposits as may eventually be paid to all depositors of the bank. It is no longer believed that the depositors of the bank will receive dollar for dollar for their money. The bank's affairs are in a much worse condition than was at first supposed. The forthcoming report of the receiver promises to be an Interesting document.
