Description

Articles show the bank's officers decided to liquidate and 'temporarily suspend payment' on 1893-12-10; a receiver (H. H. A. Hastings) was later in place and numerous court actions reference the receiver through 1894–1896. No contemporaneous article describes a depositor run; the suspension was voluntary liquidation (officers preferred to close) and later bank-specific malfeasance (president J. K. Edmiston's large overdraft/embezzlement at the related Walla Walla bank) is reported. Thus the bank suspended and remained closed under a receiver (permanent closure).

THE SECURITY SAVINGS BANK. This Institution and Walla Walla Savinge Bank Will Go Into Liquidation. The officers of the Security Savings bank, of which J. K. Edmiston is president, have decided to liquidate its affairs and terminato its business. Mr. Edmiston is at present in Walla Walla, looking after the interests of the Walla Walla Saving bank, of which institution he is also president, and which will likewise go out of business. Pending his return, the Security bank will temporarily suspend payment and will not open its doors for business. The cashier of the bank states that the deposits are small, not aggregating over $30,000, and that all depositors will be paid in full. The Seattle clearing house offered to furnish the money and liquidate the bank at once, but their offer was declined, the officers preferring to close out the business themselves. The partial failure of the wheat crop in Eastern Washington and the connection of the Security bank with the Walla Walla bank are the reasons given by the officer for winding up the affairs of both institutions.

# THE KRUG SURETY SUIT. Questions at Issue Between Trustee Perkins and North End Bank. The trial of the suit of C. G. Perkins, trustee for Krug's sureties, against the North End bank and the city of Seattle, which has occupied Judge Osborn's attention for two days, was brought to a close last evening and taken under advisement by the judge. The suit is one asking to be subrogated to the rights of the city against the funds in the North End bank. After the settlement between the city and the sureties on Krug's bond Krug assigned all of his right, title and interest in and to all securities which he held to the sureties, and the sureties appointed C. G. Perkins as their trustee to sue and collect and distribute the amounts collected to the parties entitled to the same. The plaintiff claims that the sureties settled with the city, and for that reason the sureties are entitled to be subrogated to all the rights of the city. The North End bank and the city both claim that the contract made with the sureties by the city had been complied with, in this: That the statement of the amount in the National Bank of Commerce was in reality more than the amount actually credited to the city upon the books of the bank, the discrepancy being about $1,100. The city claims that the credit given in the Security Savings bank was a fraudulent one, and that Edmiston, who was one of the sureties, in reality had no account with the Security Savings bank, and that the credit given the city upon the books of that bank was fraudulent. The city filed its claim against the Security Savings bank for something over $7,000 with the receiver, and the claim was rejected. The defense was based upon the theory that before the sureties upon an obliga-tion of this character can be subrogated to the rights of the creditor the whole of the debt must have been paid and the contract fully complied with. The plaintiff claims that the sureties did comply with the contract, and hence the litigation.

SUIT FOR COLUMBIA LOTS. Receiver Hastings Wants Deeds From the Blacks Under a Contract. "Columbia: watch it grow." The sign bearing those words that used to be in front of Percy W. Rochester's real estate office, in the Occidental block, at the corner of Second street and Yesler avenue, was recalled yesterday afternoon by the appearance in the superior court of a suit by Receiver Hastings of the Security Savings bank against Frank D. Black and Kate H. Black for $9,100 part purchase price, improvements, interest and taxes on Columbia property. Receiver Hastings claims that on May, 1891, the Blacks agreed to deliver to Rochester the east half of the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter and southwest quarter of the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of section 22, township 24 north, range 4 east, containing about fifteen acres, at Columbia, on or before May 1, 1895, on payment of $15,000. It was further stipulated that the Blacks would execute and deliver such a plat as might be furnished by Rochester, and that they would at any time during the life of the contract. upon payment of $75 a lot, execute a conveyance. Every acre of land was to contain not less than nine lots. The tract was platted as "Columbia Supplemental, No. 1." Rochester, according to the complaint, assigned his right and that of his wife to the Washington Co-operative Home Company, which transferred to the Columbia Home Company, and the last company to the Security Savings bank. It is contended by Receiver Hastings that $6,000 has been paid to the Blacks as part purchase price and $2,500 as interest, no part of which has ever been repaid to the bank or its grantors. It is claimed that on account of the payment of this $6,000 the bank is entitled to a conveyance of eighty lots. but that only thirty-two lots have been conveyed, and that repeated demands for a conveyance of the remaining forty-eight lots have been met with refusal. Improvements, it is said, have been made by the plaintiff on the lots it wants deeded and taxes paid to the amount of $3,000. A total judgment of $9,100 and costs is asked.
