BANK ASSETS AT AUCTION. Edgerton Receiverships to be Wound Up Soon. Receiver L. H. Towne of the old Bank of Edgerton, which closed its doors nearly four years ago, will apply to the court for an order to dispose of all the remaining assets. The aggregate of these will represent an indebtedness of over $115,000 and will doubtless be offered at auction to the highest bidder. After Receiver Towne has pounded away on these claims for nearly four years the whole bunch of what is left will not present a very juicy picking to any collector. But the receivership is to be wound up and everything goes at the best offer, and the sale promises to be an interesting one.
