every dollar coming to them ere long. Now they are talking differently. The examination of the bank's affairs by State Hank Kxaminer Ilinshaw has shown it to have been one of the rottenest institutions imaginable and the failure one of the most complete that ever occurred in this section of the state. The assets, good, bad and indifferent, are only one-third the liabilities, and when these are sifted down and all realized on them that can be, it is likely that at least another one-third will be cut from these figures even. A worse showing could scarcely he made. From unofficial sources it i re

ported that the total assets are only about JOO.noo, whils the liabilities reach the enormous sum of $25x.oOO. The above figures, as we understand, are the apparent assets, and consid
