Description

Contemporary newspapers report that the City National Bank of Evansville temporarily suspended business on Jan 17, 1910 pending an investigation by bank examiners. Crowds of depositors assembled outside the closed bank (agitation/run as a consequence of the suspension). No articles here report a receivership or permanent closing; suspension described as temporary, so I classify this as a suspension followed by depositor agitation with presumed reopening (no explicit reopening mention).
