THE SHUTTERS UP, But Depositors Will Receive Dollar for Dollar. Special to the Globe. Le SUEUR, Minn., July 8.-E. R. Smith & Co., owners of the Bank of Le Sueur and of the Le Sueur Roller mills, made a voluntary assignment this morning for the benefit of their creditors. Thomas H. Smullen, late cashier of the bank, has been made assignee. The notice posted on the bank door this morning at the usual hour for opening was the first intimation any one received of the state of affairs, and came like a flash of lightning in a clear sky. The cause of the suspension is the falling due of private papers of E. R. Smith, which he was unable at this time to secure an extension of. Mr. Smith, when seen today, stated that the liabilities of the firm are about $225,000, with assets of the same amount. The action taken by him was to protect depositors, who, he says, will receive dollar for dollar. The bank was founded in 1869 by George Snow, M. Doran becoming a partner in 1873, and E. R. Smith coming in with M. Doran in 1878. Something like a year ago the interest of Mr. Doran was purchased by Mr. Smith, and his son, R. E. Smith, was given a partnership under the present firm title. E. R. Smith has resided here since 1854,and no man enjoyed the confidence of the public to a greater extent than he. T. e exact amount of the deposits and of wheat tickets out cannot be learned, but nearly every business man in the city finds his surplus cash tied up. The feeling, however, is good, and it is generally expected the trouble will only be temporar y.
