Description

Both notices (Apr–May 1925) refer to property actions naming Frank Browne 'as Receiver of The First National Bank of Fresno', indicating the bank had a receiver (i.e., was in receivership/closed). The articles are sheriff's sale/legal ads from Montana concerning assets tied to that receivership. No contemporaneous mention of a run is present, nor of reopening — thus classified as suspension followed by closure/receivership. Exact date of appointment of the receiver is not stated; notices dated Apr 4, 1925 and referencing a sheriff's sale on May 9, 1925.
