Description

The trustees decided to wind up the Washington Savings Bank and petitioned for a receiver (C. M. Sheafe) on/around 1894-01-23. Articles thereafter refer to the bank as 'suspended' and the receiver conducting asset sales and assessments through 1900. There is mention of steady withdrawals but no discrete panic/run described; the closing appears voluntary/liquidation-driven and led to receivership and sale of assets — i.e., suspension followed by permanent closure under a receiver.

GOES INTO LIQUIDATION. The Washington Savings Bank Decides to Retire From Business. On Saturday afternoon the trustees of the Washington Savings bank, in the Yesler building on Front street, determined to go out of business, and as a preliminary step toward winding up its affairs a petition for the appointment of a receiver was filed in the superior court yesterday by the officers of the bank, and Judge Langley at once appointed C. M. Sheafe receiver, his bond being fixed at $25,000, which was immediately given, with Amos Brown and E. F. Wittler as sureties. The step was in nowise a forced one, and the closing of the bank cannot be called a failure, as it might have continued in business for some time to come. But the general condition of the money market making it difficult to realize on its securities, which are mostly in the shape of real estate mortgages running some time. and the slow but steady withdrawals of deposits, with no immediate prospect of improvement, led the trustees to the conclusion that liquidation was the best course to pursue for the stockholders as well as the depositors. Since last July the bank has paid out over $100,000 of its deposits, and the increasing difficulty of making collections and disposing of securities has caused the cash balance to run low. Early last week the officers of the bank told the managing committee of the clearing house association of its difficulty and offers of assistance were extended to the bank should it find them necessary, and they were renewed on Thursday. With the exception of a slight accommodation from one bank the offer of this line of credit was not made use of, and on Saturday afternoon the officers of the bank met with the clearing house committee and discussed the situation and the condition of the bank's assets. As a result of the conference it was decided to go into liquidation rather than continue in business. The bank commenced business in September, 1888, with the following trustees, who still retain their positions: W. W. Dearborn, president; B. B. Dearborn, vice president, and H. W. Higgins, cashier. The paid-up capital stock is $100,000, a little over half of it being owned by the trustees and the rest by New England capitalists. The liabilities amount to $150,000, while the assets aggregate $250,000 in round numbers. Eliminating all assets of doubtful value. there is more than enough good assets to pay the depositors dollar for dollar. The Wast ington Savings bank had no connection with the Washington National bank.

A BIG SAUL OVEELOOKED. Confidence Men Neglect a Simple Ranchor With a Fortune on Him. Several confidence men around the police court yesterday were vigorously kieking themselves for having overlooked a good big trick when it was revealed that a poor, dilapidated-looking and apparently feeble-minded rancher named John Pomrebu had been knocking about the lower part of town all night with $1,788.20 in his pockets. About 4.o'cleck yesterday morning Officer Giasscock found Pomrehn leaning against a box car on the water front, apparently intending to climb into it. As Pomrehn, when questioned, could not give a very clear account of himself and his actions seeming suspicious, the officer took him to the station. Glasscock asked him if be had no money to get a bed with, and Pomrehn said yes he had money, but did not want to go to bed. He talked queerly, hardly comprehending what was said to him, with a stolid look of utter indifference upon his countenance. The officer thought be was a hobo and that he was safer in jail than roaming around at that hour of night. His surprise can be imagined when,a small fortune was fished out of bis pockets in the shape of certificates of deposit, notes and cash. He was given a hearing before Judge Glasgow and wore the same look of stolid indifference as when arrested. He said he had been living on a claim on the Stilláguamish for the past ten years and had come to this country from Germany eleven years ago, having lived in Nebraska and Oregon before coming to this section. His hands were very much swollen as if they had poisoned, and he could not give any reason why he came to Seattle. He looked thin and emaciated and apparently had worked and starved himself almost crazy. On being released and going to the jail office for his money, he paid no attention to Clerk Fleming while it was being counted out to him, and when repeated efforts were made in ,vain to get him to pay attention to the matter the police officers decided that the man was demented and that it was not safe to let him have so much money without informing his friends. Among his papers was a receipt from Thompson, Edsen & Humphreys, who were telephoned to come up to the station. A representative of the firm came up and said his tirm had a certificate of deposit for $600 on the suspended Washington Savings bank which it was trying to collect for Pomrehn, and he thought that perhaps the fear of losing the money had something to do with his derangement. He succeeded in persuading Pomrehn to go to the hospital for a few days, his money and effects meanwhile remaining at the police station. By this action of the police the confidence men were deprived of their prey a second time.
