Judge McFadden to Decide Noted Case Judge McFadden will be called to sit in judgment in one of the final appearances in court of one of the oldest cases and one that will be remembered for a life time by many citizens of Carson City, who lost their savings through the failure of the State Bank and Trust company of that city. The information was received by Judge McFadden in a letter received Friday from Governor Boyle stating that Attorney General Fowler and Attorneys Mack and Green, appearing for the receiver in the case of the State of Nevada vs. the State Bank & Trust company of Carson, have entered into a stipulation assented to by District Judge F. P. Lanyon in which it is agreed to have Governor Boyle call a district judge to hear and determine any and all matters touching and affecting the Axing and allowance of attorneys fees and compensation for the receiver in the action. The governor wrote that he had learned that Judge Taber of Elko had declared himself disqualified through reason of a former partnership and requested Judge McFadden to act, writing "I have therefore named and called you in the place of and stead of Judge Taber. I sincerely hope that you will not find yourself disqualified in any way and I am sure that you will do a distinctive service by disposing of this matter."

RECEIVER WILDES TO TRY PRIVATE BANK SALE Upon stipulation of Deputy Attorney General Robert Richards and Attorney George Green, representing Receiver F. L. Wildes of the State Bank & Trust Company, Judge F. P. Langan ordered at a session of the district court that the receiver attempt to negotiate private sales for the assets of the receivership. Sales made at public auction several weeks ago were not confirmed by Judge Langan and he gave notice that he would issue an order for a public sale, until the attorneys agreed that better results could be accomplished by Receiver Wildes at private sales. The court, Receiver Wildes and the attorneys expressed a desire to end the receivership as soon as possible, but all stated their belief that the property of the defunct bank should not be sacrificed.-Carson City Appeal.

BANK MAY PAY 4TH DIVIDEND A fourth dividend of a little less than four per cent came closer for depositors of the State Bank & Trust company Saturday when the time for claiming unpaid dividends of the first three dividends ended and Receiver Bilbert Ross began to figure on the available funds for the final dividend. There were no objections in the district court to the procedure proposed in using unpaid claims amounting to about $16,563 from the first three dividends in paying a fourth and with this sum there will be about $33,500 available for the next, says the Carson Appeal. From the third dividend of ten per cent there remained unclaimed $12,586, from the second of five per cent there was $2276 and from the first of five per cent there was $1701.
