Description

Multiple contemporaneous dispatches (June 13–14, 1893) report the State Bank of Crystal Falls has suspended payment. The suspension is explicitly attributed to the suspension/failure of the Plankinton Bank of Milwaukee (a correspondent), not to an independent depositor run. Subsequent local Diamond Drill articles (1894) show a receiver in place (Howard S. Brooks, later succeeded by H. M. Pellham) and sheriff's sales, indicating the bank remained closed and in receivership/being wound up. No clear article describes the bank reopening, so classification is suspension_closure. OCR typos corrected where obvious (e.g., Plankinton).

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The State Bank of Crystal Falls, Mich., has suspended payment. S.G. Love, a lineman of a St. Louis electric light company, was roasted to death while at work yesterday evening on a pole. Seven more deaths occured yesterday from the choleraic disease that is prevailing at the town of Alais, in southern France. This is a total of 16 deaths for two days this week. There was a run on every savings bank in Omaha this morning, precitated by the failure of the McCague Savings Bank yesterday followed by the downfall this morning of the American National Bank, in which the McCagues are largely interested. Frank Dillingham sneaked into the house of Mrs. Wolcott, in New York this morning and stole a lot of jewelry valued at $1,600, but his noise attracted the attention of Miss Wolcott and her mother, who seized Dillingham, when he threw away his plunder and escaped. He was subsequently caught by an officer. The jewelry was recovered. Excitement was caused inJeremia and Jacmel a few days ago by a false report that Manigat had landed in Hayti with a large following and was marching towards Port au Prince, but the prompt action of the commandants of both towns mentioned prevented any uprising. It is reported that Gens. Morales and Manigat have come to some understanding and it is likely that a joint attempt will be made to overthrow Heureaux, of San Domingo, and Hyppolyte, of Hayti. In the Borden trial at New Bedford, Mass., to-day Dr. Dolan said that the blows were made by a sharp instrument and some on Mrs. Bordon by an assailant astride the body. Dr. Wood stated that examination showed no blood on the claw-hammered hatchet or axe or on the blue dress. The hair found on this hatchet was not human. The white skirt showed a small blood spot which probably came from outside and was human blood. The shoes and stockings and dining room door casing had no blood spots. The handieless hatchet had no blood. The break in its handle had no dust. The handleless hatchet had dust like ashes on the blade tightly adhering. While Mrs. Patterson's sixteen-year-old son was cleaning his rifle at Morava, Iowa, to-day it was accidentally discharged, the bullet piercing his mother's heart, causing inst nt death. Young Patterson had to be restrained from committing suicide, so great was his grief. The mangled body of Gustave Koenig. a well known young business man of St. Joseph, Mo., was found beside the railroad tracks yesterday morning. He had been murdered and robbed, after which the body was laid on the track to cover up the cause of death, George Williams, colored, charged with an assault on 2n eight-year-old negro girl near Waco, Tex., was captured yesterday by negroes who say Williams afterward escaped. It is believed the negroes lynched Williams. The fight between Billy Woods, of Coloraand "Buffalo" Costello, of Australia, at

To meet this emergency a request was made by the American National upon the clearing house association for funds to meet demands. The clearing house association was in session until 11 o'clock this morning. It was found that $160,000 would be needed, and the association decided not to advance this amount, as it was feared that the securities of the bank could not be realized upon promptly enough to ree lieve the bank's wants. Accordingly President John L. McCague decided not to open the doors of the bank this morning. This morning depositors, alarmed by reports, began a run on the savings banks of the city, the other national banks not being affected. The heaviest run was on the Omaha Savings bank. acknowledged to be the soundest concein in the city, where all depositora were paid in cash.
