He said tonight the depositors would be paid in full, and that a receiver would be appointed as soon as he receives full instructions from Washington. Cashier Langan states that the depositors will be paid in full and that stockholders will be paid their investment if the affairs are handled in proper manner No statement is as yet made of the assets and liabilities, but one is being prepared. Mr. Faurot, the President of the bank, made heavy investments in the stock of the Columbus, Lima and Milwaukee Railroad and in a Mexican land deal.

He has placed mortgages on real estate for $165,000 to secure depositors and stockholders. He built the Opera House, which bears his name; was President of the Lima Street Railway and Electric Light Company, and was interested in many other enterprises.
