The Blaine Bank Failure. Whatcom Oct. 5.-Special.-The Blaine bank affair is about as complicated in a small way as the Northern Pacific receivership matter is in a large one. The Emmons receivership is in the interest of the Wheelers, and it looks now as If they have the best of It. It is alleged that the appointment of David as receiver of the state bank was made solely upon an ex parte showing. and without any evidence whatever in support of the general allegation of insolvency. And further, It is alleged that the three directors whose affidavits supported the application of Stone for the appointment of the first receiver are themselves indebted to the bank in the aggregate amount of about $10,000. The Blaine National Bank corporation has never been dissolved, and its capital stock has constituted the only capital of the newer institution which undertook, with the same officers. to settle up the former's affairs. Judge Hanford's sweeping order respecting Emmons' receivership of the Blaine National does not dismiss David from the receivership of the state bank, but simply places him in the position of holding the bag with nothing in it.
