Newspapers (Indiana Daily Times Apr 13 and Richmond Palladium Apr 19, 1920) report a 'run' that caused the Vincennes State Bank to close temporarily for lack of cash and that it was expected to reopen (articles mention reopening the following Friday or the next Tuesday). No specific trigger (rumor, correspondent failure, insolvency) is given in the texts, so cause is coded as 'other'. Dates for events are inferred from publication dates: closure/run reported by Apr 13, 1920; reopening reported to occur on or about Apr 20, 1920.
