Special to The World.

McALESTER, July 8. — Frank Craig, president of the City National bank, which closed its doors here about a month ago, announced the bank would re-open within a short time without any loss to depositors.

The bank was capitalized at $50,000, with approximately $400,000 deposits. It closed its doors voluntarily upon order of the directors and officers and was immediately placed in charge of the bank examiner of the Tenth federal reserve district. No irregularities were discovered and plans are practically completed, stated Craig, for the re-opening of the institution.

The roster of officials has not been announced and it is not known if there will be any change in the personnel of the officials of the bank. The City National was organized in 1902 and has been a strong factor in the commercial life of McAlester and Pittsburg county. News that the bank would be re-opened without loss to depositors was greeted with much rejoicing here.
