A Woman Banker's Failure. GENOA, Neb., March 21.-A notice posted in the window of the Bank of Genoa, signed by Ben H. Cowdry, state bank examiner, says: "This bank closed and in my hands as temporary receiver." Less than two weeks ago the bank was reorganized and a new set of officers was chosen, with a woman as president. It was announced at this time that the reorganization made the bank one of the best financial institutions of its size in the state. It had a capital stock of $20,000. The receiver expresses the opinion that the bank will pay out without loss to the depositors, but it will require time. When the bank was reorganized Mrs. H. E. Robbins was chosen president, Arthur E. Anderson cashier and G. Wilson vice president.
