RECEIVER WILDE TO SOON MAKE REPORT RENO, Feb. 22.-It is rumored that Frank R. Wildes, receiver for the State Bank and Trust company will shortly present his report for his first two years of stewardship. Mr. Wildes will have an excellent accounting to give, considering the shape in which he found the institution. A few days ago Mr. Wildes accomplished quite a coup. He was suing the Nevada Exploration Mercantile company on behalf of the bank for the sum of $16,000, but, before he got action a claimant in the justice court got judgment for $208 and secured it by garnisheeing 447,440 shares of stock in the institution. Mr. Wildes' attorneys settled the claim of the small plaintiff, got hold of the stock and will be able to sell the same for the amount of the judgment. This sum of $16,000 will go at least a little in making up the next dividend to the crelitors of the erstwhile bank.
