DN After a Suspension of Thirty Days the First National Bank Opened Its Doors Last Saturday. The Bank in the Hands of New Men Presents a Stronger Front Than at Any Previous Time. A CASE OF INSANITY Alfred Olson, a Young Farmer in Lisbon Township, Went Insane Suddenly Last Thursday. HAVE OPENED FOR BUSINESS. The First National Bank Resumed Business Operations Saturday Morning At 9 o'clock Saturday morning the doors of the First National bank, which have been closed for the past thirty days opened to the public and resumed business under a new management. Tuesday afternoon. Feb. 18, after the bank had closed its business for that day the news was received that John D. Lawler. president of the bank, had died suddenly at Sioux City. Upon the suggestion of vice-President Logan the bank did not open for business the following morning for the reason that owing to the president's death Mr. Logan considered it would render a more satisfactory situation to have an examination of the bank made by the national examiner. Accordingly Mr. Zimmerman was sent for and he made an exhaustive investigation of the affairs of the bank. At that time Mr. Zimmerman stated to THE REPUBLICAN that there was no necessity for alarm as to the standing of the bank, that the examination he made showed to him that the bank was in no danger of collapsing, although reports had been freely circulated to the contrary. Mr. Zimmerman made his report to the comptroller of the currency who was thoroughly satisfied with the condition of the bank and gave his permission for it to resume business. Before commencing business the officials considered it better to effect a new organization so that when it opened up the bank would present a more solid front than ever. For the past two weeks new stock was being placed with various parties in the east and arranging everything for the reorganization. Those who are principally interested in the makeup of the new organization are D. T. Gilman, president, and C. M. Swan, cashier of the Iowa State National bank and Jos. Lawler of Sioux City. Mrs. John D. Lawler, Mrs. Nina Dousman. Messrs. J. O. Walrath. I. W. Seaman. J. D. Wood. R. D. Welch and J. S. Daniels of this city, who control $30,000 of the stock. while the other $20,000 is held by eastern parties. The re-organization was effected late Friday night by the election of the following officers: President-J. O. Walrath. Vice-president-R. D. Welch. Cashier-Geo. E. Logan. Asst. Cashier-0. P. Graham. Directors-C. M. Swan of Sioux City, J. Walrath, R. D. Weich, I. W. Seaman and J. D. Wood. The present directorship of the bank is five, which is the limited number under the by-laws. A meeting of the stockholders will be held soon when it is the intention to change the bylaws to make the directory consist of seven and the names of J. S. Daniels and Albert Boynton will then be added. F.E. Moses. who was the former cashier. tendered his resignation as he was desirous of devoting his entire time to his farm and live stock interests. The new officers of the bank are men who are well known in Mitchell, having been among the earliest settiers, and who enjoy the respect and confidence of all classes. Mr. Logan will have the active management of the bank and will devote his entire time and attention to its interests. He is an energetic and conservative gentleman and we believe the bank will continue to prosper. When the bank opened for business Saturday morning there was no excitement attending it ond other than those who money ing its held opening checks but against very the little bank pendwas drawn out by depositors. On the counter beside the cashier's window lay $50,000 in currency and gold, sufficient to meet any demand made by the depositors. All day long the officers were busy receiving the congratulations
