Article (Tulsa Tribune, 1929-09-20) reports the Bluejacket State Bank closed its doors today and that a state bank examiner was sent to take charge by the state banking commissioner. OCR errors in the clipping (garbled phrases) were corrected; the text implies a closure by state authorities rather than a depositor run.
