The Juneau and Hartford Bank Failures. The excitement continues in relation to the failures of the banks at Juneau and Hartford, and the situation of affairs is outlined in the following dispatch to The Sentinel: HARTFORD, Wis., July 6.-The bank failure still continues to be the all-absorbing topic of conversation here, and as time passes the chances for the depositors to realize much on their credits are becoming distressingly less_ Frank Leake, cashier of the defunct bank, to-day said: "Until the notice in the Milwaukee papers of Friday, June 20, stating that the Park National bank, of Chicago, had been taken possession of by a bank examiner, I believed the bank of Hartford to be sound, though I knew some of our securities were there, but to our credit.. I was assured by Chas. Cook, president of our bank, and who is also a stockholder of the Park bank, that there was no danger; to go ahead and pay off_ This was Friday night, June 20. I kept the bank open all day Saturday and paid out all the ready funds, some $6,000. Sunday I received a telegram from Cook, saying he was unable to raise funds and to assign the effects of the Hartford and Juneau banks to H. W. Sawyer, which was done early Mon~ day morning. The failure of both banks is alone attributable to the closing of the Park Nation al, as these were really branches of that bank. The cause of closing the Park bank came through the dissatisfaction of the stockholders with their president, Mr. Packer, who they thought was running the affairs in a loose and reckless manner." Sheriff Hauser, of Dodge county, came here last Thursday and arrested Geo.. Richardson, cashier of the Juneau bank, on a charge of larceny preferred by August Schoenwetter, treasurer of Dodge county, who complains that he left $1,000 in the Juneau bank for safe keeping and when he demanded it the money was refused him. The sheriff also arrested Cashier Leake on a warrant sworn out by George W. Morse, one of the depositors of the Juneau bank, charging him with doing illegal banking. They were both taken to Juneau and taken before Christ Hemmy, justice of the peace, where they waived examination and gave bail for theirappearance at the next term of the circuit court in September. Leake's bail is $5,000, with Henry Schoenke and Jas... B. Day, of this city, as his sureties. Richardson's bail was fixed at $3,000, with A. G. Laubenstein and W. R. Amidon, also of this city, as sureties. The assignee will complete the inventory of the Hartford bank to-morrow, and will show liabilities between $28,000 and $30,000, and assets between $8,000 and $9,000. It is rumored here that the sheriff went to Chicago yesterday after Charles E. Cook.
