The Ocosta Bank Failure. Ocosta, June 12.-Special.-The Bank of Ocosta discontinued business at the end of the week past. At first it was supposed that the depositors would be handed back their deposits as the bank has not paid expenses of late, but it now develops that the bank people have too many securities. It is also learned that a prominent townsman offered to furnish the capital in exchange for hone-half of these if others would take the balance, but it is not thought this will be met. The failure comes very hard on those having deposits tied up at this time, but there is no excitement and no one seems to blame Senator Deckaback, its president, but rather sympathize instead. F. L. Carr has been appointed receiver of the Bank of Ocosta and has formally taken possession of the bank.
