Description

OCR of the article is poor. The piece (dated 1896-10-23) describes large withdrawals and an assignment/receiver (J. G. Og[le?]) being named; this indicates a run followed by a suspension/assignment and permanent closure (receiver). I corrected obvious OCR fragments but did not invent names/dates beyond the newspaper date.
