Evidence All In. Special to Citizen. Las Cruces, March 3.-In the case against C. H Dane for embezzlement, the evidence is all in and the arguments before the jury commenced this morning. H. B Fergusson, assistant United States attorney. is making a gallant fight and deserves to win the case A peculiar state of affairs exists in closing up the business of the defunct Deming and Silver City banks. The former receiver, Isaac M. Smith. now deceased. who was quite a considerable stockholder. recommended an assessment on the stockholders of eighty-two per cent at Deming and seventy-five per cent at Silver City. It now becomes apparent that the assessment in each case should have been all the law allows, one hundred per cent, but now it is a matter of grave doubt whether, having called one assessment, the comptroller can call another one for the balance. The depositors are therefore in a very unhappy frame of mind regarding the outlook.

GRANT county people are still wondering if the end of these Deming and Silver City bank receiverships will ever come. Let's see; about eight years, isn't it, that this matter has been dragged along?-New Mexican. Not quite so bad as that, although it is probably a longer time than that that the banks were insolvent. They were closed in February, 1892. In November, 1892, a dividend was declared. Shortly after this Receiver Smith died and then Receiver Foster was sent out from Kansas to live off the wreck. Against his protest a dividend was declared in October, 1893. This was before Comptroller Eckles had got used to his new job and had begun using all his time fighting free silver. Since then Receiver Foster has been able to work bis rabbit footon the comptroller and no dividend has been declared. Receiver Poster bas commenced many lawsuits against people who own the bank. but against wost of them a judgment is worth no more than an open account. He night have sold the bank ,building sorge time ago for $16,000, but he did not, and now it would not bring $10,000.

The Broken Banks. Grant county people are still wondering if the end of those Deming and Silver City bank receiverships will ever come. Let's see; about eight years, isn't it, that this matter has been dragged along?NEW MEXICAN. Not quite so bad as that. The banks failed February 3, 1892, nearly three and a half years ago, and up to the present time the depositors have received just 40 per cent of their deposits at the time of the failure. The last dividend was paid considerably more than a year and a half ago and it is not believed that the prospects for further dividends are very brilliant. The comptroller of the currency assessed the stockholders in the bank here 50 per cent of the amount of stock, but it has turned out that an assessment of 100 per cent would not more than have paid the depositors in full by this time. Quite a number of worthless judgments have been obtained, but it is questionable whether they could be sold for enough to pay the court costs in obtaining them, to say nothing of the attorney's fees. The murmurs of the depositors have reached Washington, but so far they have been productive of no good results. The former president of the two banks is working for his board in the territorial hotel at Santa Fe and this fact is comforting to some of the losers in the banks, but they still have to mourn the loss of their money.-Silver City Eagle.
