Multiple contemporary reports (May 13-15, 1896) state the First National Bank of El Reno 'closed' or 'suspended' to forestall an impending run. It subsequently was permitted to resume business in early June 1896. A May 18 notice mentions a recommended receiver, but later official notices state capital unimpaired and reopening — so sequence is run → suspension (voluntary/precautionary) → reopening.
