The United States Fidelity and Guaranty company will not be required by federal court to pay $10,000 to the defunct Twin Falls National bank because its former cashier, J. A. Keefer, had assertedly allowed overdrafts by several companies in which he was interested.
A suit brought by G. D. Thompson, receiver of the bank, against the bonding company was dismissed Friday by Judge C. C. Cavanah. It was the second time a demurrer of the bonding company had been upheld. The first one resulted in amendment of the complaint and reduction of the amount sought from $56,000 to $10,000.
The defending firm asserted that Joseph Keefer, president of the bank and uncle of the cashier, had known of the condition and had failed to notify the bonding house. For that reason it claimed no liability.
The Keefers were convicted in federal court of mismanagement and sentenced to federal prison.

BANK RECEIVER SUES HOLDER OF STOCKS
Suit to collect a $4000 stock assessment from T. O. Boyd and J. May Boyd and Glenn McGuin was filed Tuesday in federal court by G. D. Thompson, receiver of the Twin Falls National bank.
The action was filed under the national banking act, which holds stock holders responsible for 100 per cent of the face value of their stock as an assessment to be paid when a bank fails.
Thompson alleges that Boyd was the owner of 40 shares of stock, which on July 14, 1931, he transferred to McGuin. He charges there was no consideration for the transfer, and that later McGuin passed the stock on to Mrs. Boyd, wife of T. O. Boyd.

Bank runs are almost always and everywhere a deterioration of bank fundamentals.
But not for you.
You are the measure-zero exception: great fundamentals, solid bank, and yet the Diamond Dybvig fairy spread its rumor. Depositors woke up. Your collateral was not prepositioned. The Clearinghouse had it for you.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
