GOODLAND HOME BANK AFFAIRS.

L. A. Wiles, cashier of the Goodland Bank, has been appointed trustee of the lately failed Home bank at Goodland, and John L. Cooke and Morton Kilgore were appointed appraisers, to appraise the bank’s assets. The Gerald says that the county treasurer had advanced the $3,000 apportionment to Gilman, who was town treasurer, doe the town on July 1, and as a result the town trustees have no funds for necessary expenses. The present town treasurer now holds the vouchers from the county auditor for this $3,000 which the county treasurer claims to have advanced to town treasurer Gilman, but the county treasurer refuses to honor them and the matter will be fought out in the courts. The town has employed council to test the legality of the county treasurer’s anticipating payment of this money to the town treasurer under the conditions then existing.
