Description

The First National Bank of Arlington (OR) suspended in late July 1894 and was closed; a federal receiver (R. T. Cox) was appointed in early August 1894. Newspaper coverage blames loose/poor management and connections with other banks rather than a depositor run or rumor. Subsequent items show receiver actions and litigation, confirming permanent closure.

jeweler and we bespeak for him a healthy business. He has engaged Mr Robinson to assist him several weeks. All our people interested in a good school will be glad to learn that the prospects are good for opening a norma school at Condon this fall with Prof. o M. Given of Indiana as instructor. He has concluded to come providing satis factory arrangements can be made by our people. Those wishing to send pupils or learn particulars should apply at once to L. W. Darling, who has the subscription paper. This matter is too important to neglect. C. H. Crawford, the gambler who had Myron Hamilton arrested and bound over to the grand jury on suspicion of having stolen $140 from him while asleep in the Jordan hotel at Arlington, found his money a few days ago in the bed where he had put it himself. The proper thing to do in this case is to tax the costs of prosecution up to the proseentor, besides fine him the $140 for his carelessness. It would have a tendency to discourage such cases. While Misses Birdie and Dora Downing were returning home Friday evening from Beecher Flat, a short distance east of town the cart struck a rock in the road, tilting it in such a manner as to throw Miss Birdie out and'in front of the cart, which ran over her. She was pretty badly hurt, and has been under the doctor's care since. The doctor thinks she will beable to begin teaching again in about a month, having been engaged to teach the fall term of the Mayville school. Married, at Condon on Monday, July 23, 1894, Mr. Albert Collins and Miss Julia Conture, both of Ferry Canyon The ceremony was performed in the Catholic church of this place by Father Busha of Pendleton, and was witnessed by a large number of friends. Misses Susan Dunn and Carrie Danneman acted as bridesmaids and Messrs. R. H. Rob inson and John Couture as groomsmer for the happy event. In the evening pleasant ball was given in the hall in their honor. The GLOBE extends the usual congratulations. The news of the suspension of the First National bank of Arlington or Tuesday morning, 24th, caused quite I ripple of excitement among our people when they first learned of it next day A dozen or more of our business men are "nipped" to the tune of several hundred dollars or more, and a number of them for small amounts. One of the most dif ficult things for the public to understand is why the bank's last quarterly state ment represented it to be in a flourish ing condition. The Arlington Record even commented upon the bank's sound financial condition. F. C. Rollo, the cashier, we are informed, says the de positors will not lose anything, as there is enough money on hand to pay then all in full. As per order of our county court Messrs. R. G. Robinson of Lone Rock C. A. Danneman of Clem, and Jas Frizzell of Lost Valley met Monday and assessed the damage for the new road up the ravine from Thirtymile to Con don. Looney asked for $1000 damage and was allowed $160; Trimble asked $150 damage and was allowed nothing F. M. Shannon asked for $100 damage and was allowed $30; Jas. Kiser asked for $100 damage and was allowed $25. / fairer or more impartial board of asses sors could not have been appointed, and it is hoped their decision will be satis factory to all concerned. It is hope that work will be commenced on thi new road at once, so as to have it read for the fall bauling of wheat, etc. Thi improvement will be worth more to the people of this county than any othe that could be done with three times th expense of this road.

Miller & Dunn were agreeably. surprised Wednesday upon receiving from the examiner in charge of the First National bank of Arlington, Mr. Carlson, checks to the amount of $430 which had been sent down just the day before the bank suspended, and which they thought was tied up. They are still "in" to the tune of about $500. J. E. Frick, we understand, says he will pay all the depositors dollar for dollar. H. B. Hendricks and family and Arthur Brandenburg left Sunday for a month's outing on the Matoles river in the Cascade mountains. They went via Moro, and expect to live fat during August on fish and game of all kinds— providing they get any. In a letter to his wife, Arthur says they reached Moro on Monday evening, and that the only way they were enabled to keep their old wagon from going to pieces was by using about half the barbed wire between here and Moro in tying the tires on, etc. Soon another change is to be made in the public school books, and parents will be obliged to buy another expensive outfit of books for their children. This frequent change of books, often for the worse, is an annoyance that severely taxes the patience of parents, and an expense that in these times many of them are not able to bear. The nuisance of these changes becomes far more odious when it is remembered that they are for the benefit, not of the children, but of intersted publishers and book sellers, and officials who are in collusion with them. A red-hot war is going on between China and Japan. So far Japan has the best of it, having defeated and sunk three of China's largest war ships together with several thousand Chinese. A terrific battle was fought at Yashan Saturday and resulted in a victory for the Chinese, the Japanese being repulsed with fearful loss. Fight it out, you almond-eyed devils; the GLOBE is patting you, both Japs and Chinese, on the back. The Japs and Chinese of the U. 8. are sending back all the money they can get hold of to assist their respective countrymen in the deadly confiict. It is sincerely hoped they will keep on fighting until none will be left, even to tell the tale, on either side. -

CONDENSED DISPATCHES. The Republicans of the Sixth Nebraska district have nominated Matthew Dougherty for congress. The United States revenue cutter Michlean struck $ rock near Bar Point, Lake Erie, Thursday. When released she was leaking badly. The gross earnings of the Rock Island railroad for July were $1,108,436, a decrease, compared with the estimated earnings of July, 1893, of $523,678. Fire at Spencer Point, N. Y., Friday, destroyed the house of Cornelius Place, and his three sons, Cornelius, William and Chester, aged 13, 11 and 18, perished. A cloudburst flooded the canyon at Berwind, Col., and drowned five persons. They were C. C. Cando, a stage driver, and an Italian miner, wife and two children, passengers. The Southern Pacific proposes revival of the old Transcontinental Passenger Association. The Union Pacific is charged with cutting rates on Pacific coast passenger business. When the warship Bennington, with Gen. Ezeta and the Salyadorean refugees on board. arrives at San Francisco the matter of their extradition will be decided by the Federal courts. The United States Cordage Company shut down part of its works in Brooklyn Friday, throwing 500 men, boys and girls out of work. It is thought this lockout will spread to other rope works controlled by the trust. The comptroller of the currency has appointed A. Edgar Beard, of Portland, receiver of the Baker City National bank, which suspended August 1. Richard Cox, of Pendleton, Or., has been appointed receiver of the First National bank of Arlington, which was closed July 26. A naval board found the contractors to blame for the accident to the cylinder of the cruiser Monterey on her trial trip. Secretary Herbert reverses the finding and reprimands Chief Engineer J. 8. Smith and Passed Assistant Engineer Rodgrave who were in charge of the machinery. Near Bucyrus, O., a west-bound freight train on the Pennsylvania railroad broke in two Friday morning. The two sections collided, causing a car of coal oil and one of gasoline to ignite. The fire destroyed half the train and 500 feet of the track. Four tramps, who were stealing a ride on the oil car, were burned to death. A plan for the reorganization of the Reading road has been presented and been approved by the receivers and the Fitzgerald committee in New York. It calls for the payment of the overdue coupons on the general mortgage 43, amounting to about $2,700,000. and the receivers' certificates, amounting to $3,700,000, by a collateral trust loan which will bear 6 per cent. interest.

around each other, and lip met lip with a sound like the exhaust of a bath tub, we leaned over the taffrail and wished we were a girl.-J. H. Cardlebaugh in Dalles Chronicle. *A private Washington dispatch informs us that R.T. Cox of Pendleton has been appointed receiver of the suspended First National Bank at Arlington, Oregon. The East Oregonian says: The appointment of R. T. Cox as receiver of the closed First National Bank of Arlington, Oregon, is a good one. Mr. Cox is experienced in this work, capable and energetic. He is a young man of excellent judgment and one who will administer the trust and close up the affairs of the bank with the least expense and the most fruitful results. The closing of the doors of the First National Bank of Arlington and the Baker City National Bank has been expected among the well-informed for some time. It is the same old story of loose management, the principle officers of the bank being deeply interested in other undertaking, which was more or less a burden to the banks, taking up their time to the neglect of the banking institutions, leading to their final overthrow. The closed banks were under one management." The stockholders will probably be the only sufferers.-East Oregonian. The legislature which meets at Salem next January should abolish a lot of commissions, repeal a lot of useless acts, boil down the appropriations and scatter to its homes. If the members will do this they will earn the lasting gratitude of the citizens of Oregon and accomplish more good than any legislature for twenty years. Forty days need not be consumed in tearing down a number of useless and expensive appendages, though a few days might be devoted to passing a maximum freight and passenger act. As they will not do this, let them not beg off by perpetuating a useless railroad commission "with enlarged powers."-Rogue River Courier. Eighteen scholars are already subscribed for the proposed normal school at Condon. There must be at least 25 pupils, and unless the other seven are fortheoming at once there is danger of this worthy project falling through. By all means do not let this matter lag, as a good normal school here will be the most beneficial and grandest institution Gilliam county has ever had. They have no trouble in getting up good schools every other place; why should we fall behind in the procession of thrift and enterprise? As good an opportunity as the present may never again present itself for establishing a normal school here, 80 do not let the matter drop. It would be a wonderful factor of development for the entire county. The Dalles Chronicle says: "A covered wagon passed through town this morning, bearing a series of legends about hard times, "$1.25 a bushel for wheat," aud several other signsin which the owner of the outfit registered his opinion of politics and conditions. Out of curiosity we examined the outfit, finding that the wagon contained some bedding, two rocking chairsand a few other house comforts, and we reached the conclusion that a man who could leave the harvest fields to go berry picking and take his parlor furniture along, would find hard times if wheat was worth $5 a bushel and wool $1 a pound. The times are hard, but they are here, and will not be bettered either by repining or hunting a job in a rocking chair. The island of Corea, for the possession of which China and Japan are fighting, has an area of 85,000 square miles, and a total population of ten millions. It is an absolute monarchy, governed by a king and a ministry of five departments. The country is of a narrow boot leg shape, forming a peninsula, the lower end of which terminates near the southern limits of the Japan islands. China is back of her separated by a mountaineous boundary of several hundred miles, while Russia has a boundary along the north. Japan is a long narrow strip of islands extending along the coast of Asia opposite the contested country. It will

Outlawed Checks. It is gleaned from indirect references in the Gilliam county papers that some distress and perhaps litigation is going to ensue in that section by reason of outlawed checks on the First National bank of Arlington, which recently suspended. It seems quite a number of checks have been lying about the country and were not presented, holders preferring to keep them instead of the money. One man, B. Gaffney, has one of $116. The man he paid by the check now looks to him for the money, and, of course, Gaffney's retort is the check would have been cashed if presented before the bank closed its doors. A good many such checks are scattered about the country and some trouble is anticipated.

# GLOBOSITIES. Atty. T. R. Lyons left for Heppner Monday. Mr. Allen Ramsey of 30-mile has been very sick the last three weeks. Miss Mollie Adlard of Ajax visited the family of E. E. Smith at Condon several days last week. Another social dance was given in the new school house 2½ miles north of town Friday night. Sleighing never was better here than it has been the last week, and nearly everybody has taken advantage of it. School Supt. Kennedy will hold the regular quarterly examination at Condon this month, commencing the 13th. See notice. G. S. Clark and family moved this week into their fine new residence just East of his blacksmith shop on Main street. Another pleasant dance was enjoyed by a large number of young folks Wednesday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. May on Six Mile. Wheat is quoted at 53 cents a bushel in Jacksonville and the supply is scarce at that. Nowhere on the coast are cereals bringing better prices than there. Billy Keys, the prosperous young cattleman of Mayville, was in town Tuesday and Wednesday on business. Stock in his section have fared well so far the winter. Comptroller Eckles has autho Receiver R. T. Cox of the First No bank of Arlington to declare a d of 15 per cent on claims against stitution.

from lack of sufficient patronage to keep the paper alive. This leaves Crook county-with about three times the area and population of Gilliam-with but one paper again, the Prineville Review. Geo. Gibbons is making preparations to build a fine dwelling house on his farm near Mayville. He was over to town Wednesday to engage Shed Grider to do the carpenter work. Mr. Gibbons is one of the most industrious citizens in the county. He is getting ahead right along, for the simple reason that he isn't afraid of work. The Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. are at present engaged in a vigorous rate war, and the fare to California is lower than it was ever known to be. The fare from Portland to San Francisco by rail is: First-class, $10; 2d-class, $5, including berths. By O. R. & N. steamer-1st-class, $5; 2d-class, $2.50, including berths and board. This is almost like traveling on a pass. All of the seven applicants for teachers' cirtificates, examined at Condon last week were successful, their standing being as follows: Misses Grace Frizzell, Emma Harer and Edith Young, each 94 per cent; Miss Stella Hastain, 95; Mrs. C. W. Burnham, 92; Mies Belle Foster, 86; Mrs. Estella Clarke, 82; Miss Jessie McConnell, 73. We understand the questions were unusually hard this time. # BULLY FOR MORROW COUNTY! The county court of that county last week made an order allowing $1 bounty on coyote scalps. A stockmen's union should be organized there at once to supplement it with another $1. This leaves only two adjoining counties that does not pay a bounty-Grant and Sherman; but they both favor the idea and no doubt will fall in line within a few weeks. Coyote, your name is Dennis. Petitions are being circulated in Sherman county asking that a bounty of $1.50 per head be offered by the county court for coyote scalps. There is no doubt about heavy depredations in some parts of the county on sheep, and something must be done to stop it but whether the taxpayers generally are able to stand such a tax as $1.50 per scalp might aggregate, we are not prepared to say.-Moro Observer. Perry Fry, the well-known raiser of fine horses, was in town Saturday from Beecher Flat. He requests us to announce that the lost sheep dog, advertised in this paper recently by J. W. Maidment of Lost Valley, is at his place and has been for some time. Perry says the owner can have the animal by paying the charges on him. Mr. Fry has the Alberta (Canada) fever, and expects to make a trip up there next spring with a view of locating there. Robt. B. Spencer of Olex and W. W. Weatherford of Shuttler Flat have been subpoenaed to serve as jurors in the U. S. district court at Portland, which convenes on Nov. 26th. Among the cases that will come up for trial is a civil case of the defunct First National Bank of Arlington vs. Ernest Seekamp, on some kind of a wool deal. The receiver of the bank claims that Ernest owes it $1,200 and Ernest says the amount he owes is only $190-quite a little difference. S. A. D. Gurley is Mr. Seekamp's attorney in the case. C. L. Lillie finished boring S. P. Shutt's well the first of the week, and has secured abundance of water at a depth of 44 feet. Mr. Lillie says the vain of water in it is the strongest he has ever found in all his experience as a well-borer. Just atter cleaning it out any one thirty feet from the mouth could hear the water bubbling in the bottom of the well-like the sound of running water. He is now at work on a well for H. N. Frazer. These wells are of incalculable benefit to not only the owners but to the entire town, as such improvements are always of general benefit to a town. Tom Lewis was taken to The Dalles Monday from Antelope and placed in the county jail. Last Saturday 80 tons of hay belonging to Phil Brogan were burned. The tracks led to the house of Lewis and he was arrested. Public feeling at Antelope was strong against him that it was feared he would be lynched and he was taken to The Dalles for safe keeping. Within the last couple of months nearly 1000 tons of hay belonging to sheepmen have been burned in the Antelope, Caleb and Mitchell country, supposed to have been done by an element over there that has been at war with the sheepmen for years.

# Receiver Cox Appeals. Richard T. Cox, receiver of the First National Bank of Arlington, Or., filed a writ of error in the Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday in the action against J. L. Robinson brought in the District Court of Washington to recover $3,833 23, and which was decided in the latter's favor. It seems that prior to the failure of the Arlington bank it secured judgment against one N. Cecil of Gilliam County, Or., for the amount named above. Robinson stepped in and assumed the debt, thus releasing Cecil's property. Shortly after this the bank went under, and the receiver brought suit to recover the amount named in the old Cecil claim, and for which Robinson had become responsible. The latter offset the claim of the bank by one against it, and in the District Court of Washington won out. Receiver Cox now files a writ of error, alleging, first, insufficiency of evidence to justify the verdict, and, second, that the verdict is against the law.

F. French of the Dalles. W. Lord of Portland, Q. D, Sturgess of Arlington and F. T. Hurlburt of this city, Directors of the Arlington National Bank, met at Arlington on Thursday of last week. F. T. Hurlburt was eleced as Vice President. Mr. Hurlburt has been a stockholder and officer of the Arlington National Bank since its organization in 1888 and personally had charge of the bank during the panic of 1893 and also the strenuous year of 1894 when the First National of Arlington closed its doors.
