BANK FAILURE AT EL RENO. Stock Exchange Property Placed in the Hands of a Receiver. EL RENO, Okla. Dec. 14 -The Stock Exchange bank was closed here yesterday and Sheriff John M. Cannon placed in charge temporarily as receiver. The liabilities are $68,000, with assets amounting to $52,000. The failure was purely circumstan. tial. The bank was in good shape, but on account of the reports circulated a number of times that robberies had been planned on the banks here as well as in a number of other towns, the officials of the institution reduced the local reserve to a figure they considered safe for any ordinary demands. Yesterday morning the county offi. cials withdrew $8,000 of the county's money, and the run kept up as the rumor spread, until a receiver was asked for. Sheriff Cannon says the bank will pay out dollar for dollar, and that no depositor will be out of his money more than thirty davs.

The Canadian county commissioners have issued the following: "It having been circulated throughout the county that in the failure of the Stock Exchange. bank of El Reno, the county treasurer had lost $60,000 of the county's money, we, the undersigned county commissioners, after an examination of the county treasurer's books desire to state that such report is entirely untrue, and that such failure will not in any manner interfere with the running expenses of the county and that all demands upon the county will be promptly met, and that the county will not lose anything by such failure."

DIVIDEND OF 40 PER CENT Will be Paid Depositors of the Failed Bank of El Reno. El Reno, O. T., April 6.-(Special.)-The depositors of the defunct Stock Exchange bank will come out better than they thought they would. Captain B. F. Hegler, the receiver, says that a dividend of at least 40 per cent. will be declared sometime this week. The county commissioners are in session this week and have been spending the time in examining allowing and rejecting bills. The commissioners report that Canadian county will receive $60.000 from back taxes to be paid by the cattie kings who have large herds in the territory attached tothis county. The report that the commissioners were thinking about building a big court house, is without foundation. One of the commissioners told the Eagle correspondent that Canadian county needed a poor farm more than it did a court house and that be fore the session closed steps would be taken to do something in that line. Here is how some folks get rich in the cattle business: John Quanells came to this country 20 years ago. All the possesions he had was a cayuse pony, a pretty fair gun and a $10 saddle.

Yesterday was election day and It was the quietest one ever known in the history of El Reno. Not a gun was fired not a squawk was heard all day. Not of particle of interest was taken and no one cared two bits who was elected. The registration was very light.
