THE RUN ON THE CITIZENS' BANK OVER. The run on the Citizens' Savings Bank is over, and yesterday the regular course of business was pursued without interruption. In the four days that the run continued over $350,000 was drawn out by small depositors. These depositors lose the interest on their money for five months, and the bank is in that much money. The more frightened depositors who sold their deposit books for 75 per cent of the amount on deposit are now vowing vengeance against the unscrupulous brokers who bought them. Many of the people who drew out their money yesterday asked the bank to take It back again, but this the bank refused to do. Yesterday morning there were less than fifty people in the line when the bank opened at 9:30 o'clock, and they were all paid off in a few minutes: Police Captain McCullough ordered that the police detail be withdrawn, as there was no further necessity for their presence at the bank.
