Description

OCR'd article (The Atlanta Journal, 1930-06-12) mentions 'Peoples Bank' in Clearwater experiencing 'heavy withdrawals.' No mention of a suspension, closing, reopening, receivership, or a specific misinformation trigger. I corrected minor OCR artifacts and inferred the date from the newspaper publication date. Cause is not specified in the text, so classified as 'other'.
