Description

Multiple contemporary reports (Sept–Oct 1878) state the Odd Fellows' Bank of Sacramento decided to wind up its business, and has made an assignment. No article describes a depositor run. The bank suspended/closed via voluntary assignment/liquidation; assets were later sold/transferred (to People's Savings Bank) under the assignee. I classify this as a suspension leading to permanent closure (voluntary liquidation/assignment). Dates are taken from the newspaper publication dates (Sept–Oct 1878) and later court/accounting reports (1879–1883).

THE Vanderbilt will case was resumed at New York on the 24th inst. An offer was made to prove that in 1873, prior to the will, Commodore Vanderbilt told & lady that he had received a communication from his dead wife to leave the bulk of his property to his oldest son, 80 as to keep it together, and that he was going to do. The object was to show that spiritualism was not a mere speculative belief with him, but influenced him in business matters. AT Boston, Mass, on the 23d inst, United States Commissioner Hallett gave a decision in the case of Henry A. Parr, arrested some time ago on a charge of being engaged with others in the capture of the steamer Chesapeake, in the name of the Confederate government.

Persons entering a homestead after they have ceased to be soldiers, get a patent after one year's residence. Persons, actual soldiers at the date of entry, or who become 50 afterwards, if they served five years, require no residence. The commissioner's decision isright.

ELEVEN hundred and fifty bales of Texas cotton passed through Sedalia, Mo., on the 26th, over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad, consigned to Liverpool. This is the first shipment by rail from the gulf to foreign ports. THE Loker bank, a private concern, the oldest in St. Louis, Mo., suspended on the 25th instant for lack of business. Depositors will all be paid. Gov. BISHOP, of Ohio, commuted the sentence of Ralph Wintergill, convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung in Columbia county, October 5th, to imprisonment for life. COL. MILES telegraphs the lieutenantgeneral from Fort Keogh, Montana, that six Sioux have arrived at the fort from the British possessions, being emissaries sent ever the line by Sitting Bull to ascertain upon what terms his people would be permitted to surrender to the United States military authorities. They represented that the Sioux who had taken refuge in Canada were very desirous of returning to the states. Gen. Sheridan answered that if they return it must be on terms of unconditional surrender. THE Odd Fellows' bank, Sacramento, Cal., has decided to wind up its business, and has made an assignment. The assets are believed to be sufficient to pay the depositors. HON. WM. N. MESERVFY, editor of the Webster County (Ia.) Gazette, died on the 21st inst., of hemorrhage of the stomach. GENERAL. IN the Wayne (Mich.)

He has been absent fourteen months. SENOR ZAMANCONA, the Mexican minister, says the purpose of the Mexican government in sending five thousand troops to the border was to suppress raiding and aid the United States troops in putting down lawlessness. CONSIDERABLE commotion is created at Madison, Wis., among property owners, by the recording, on September 17, of a deed given by Dan Webster to David Hall, bearing the date of March, 1849, for sixty-five lots, including some of the very best business and residence lots in the city. The price paid to Hall was $10,000. Many consider it fraudulent, and should it be brought to trial it will be fought by the united strength of many wealthy residents. The title of all the property claimed under this deed is believed to be perfectly clear to the present holders, and quiet possession for ten years, under the laws of this state, with a reasonably clear title, confirms the holder in possession. THE American rifle team shot a match at Creedmoor on the 25th. Summer made the unprecedented score of 221 in a possible 225; Jackson reached 217, while the grand total reached 1,660 points against 1,655 of the team on the first, a year ago.

Western and Southern States. An Indian outbreak in Western Kansas caused intense excitement in Dodge City and the surrounding country. Roving bands of hostiles attacked and murdered farmers, burned their houses and drove off the stock. A band of 300 Indians attacked a cattle camp twenty miles from Dodge City, killed one man and dispersed the rest. So bold were the savages that they attacked and destroyed a farmhouse within two miles of Dodge City and in plain sight of the inhabitants of that place. A party of citizens, together with a company of United States troops, numbering seventy-seven men in all, engaged with a large body of Indians and were routed, losing one man. The Indians fought with unusual bravery. Couriers were dispatched to all points to warn the people, and the running of trains at night was stopped. Five men entered the Bank of Baltimore, in Baltimore, Md., and while some of them engaged the cashieriin conversation, one of their number entered the safe in the president's room and removed two tin boxes containing bonds and bank notes of the value of $62,000.

Daniel McBride, a colored man confined in jail at Athens, Ala., on the charge of having murdered a white man, was taken from prison by a crowd of about 100 men and hung to a tree on the spot where the murder was committed. The recovery of the body of Edwin French from the vault of the Homeopathic college in Cleveland, Ohio, where it had been taken from the grave by resurrectionists, for dissecting purposes, has been followed by the discovery of the bodies of two old ladies in the same institution. The remains had been put in pickling water, preparatory for dissection. One of the bodies was Mrs. Angeline Higby, late of Garrettsville, a small town about thirty miles from Cleveland, while the other proved to be a Mrs. Pease, of Ravenna, Qhio. The bodies were interred, and warrants were sworn out against the college faculty and the bodysnatchers.
