RECEIVER VANANDA BANK E. A. Cornwell of Forsyth, has been appointed receiver of the Vananda and Lavina State banks.
LOCAL AND PERSONAL E. A. Cornwell, receiver of the Vananda State Bank, announces a ten per cent dividend on that institution. This is their initial dividend and the county, depositors and others interested therein are expressing themselves as well pleased with developments thus far. John Johns, general manager of the Tensleep Drilling Co., came in Monday from the seat of operations and ordered a new line, as the one they've been using since starting up this spring, frayed out. In order to speed up delivery, the line was ordered by express. Its weight is 3,500 lbs. J. K. Henley, a pioneer homesteader of the Hopsonville territory, was a county seat business visitor Saturday. Mr. Henley's ranch is not far from Coalstrip. V. B. Strong and wife came up from their Armells Creek ranch on a shopping tour Saturday. They were accompanied by Miss Emma Stoetzel, schoolmistress at Howard. The "Seven come Eleven" club which was organized a week ago, met with Miss Merle Forrest Saturday evening. This club is composed of young ladies, no less than seven and no more than eleven, and will meet at the home of one of the members every Saturday night.
On Saturday Judge George A. Horken, judge of the fifteenth judicial distrist, got busy with his official ax. He let out Receiver John Oliver of the Citizens State Bank. Also let out Receiver Lukes of the Melstone State Bank and turned that bank over to Receiver Cornwell of the Vananda and Layina banks. The court also appointed Lou Jacobson, former casbier of the Vananda State Bank, as receiver of the Bank of Commerce to succeed Receiver Calvin who resigned. Judge Jeffries, upon taking up the judicial duties of the district, sent our old time friend "Jake" back to his War Finance job in Helena and will appoint another receiver for the Bank of Commerce. It is also pretty well understood that Senator John Oliver will be re-instated as receiver of 'the Citizens State Bank. Just what disposition will be made of the Melstone, Lavina and Vananda situations is hard to say. It looks to a man up a tree, as if the new judge was going to be judge.
