BANK'S DOORS CLOSED. Painesville, Ohio, Institution Affected by Cleveland Failure. PAINESVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 11.-The People's Bank, here. of which Dr. H. C. Brainard, of the Euclid Avenue Bank, is vice president, and C. H. Stewart, director, made a general assignment this morning to Harley Barnes, vice president of the Pioneer Trust Company, for the protection of all its creditors. The action was brought about by the suspension of the Euclid Avenue Trust and Savings Company of Cleveland, which, it is understood, was the chief correspondent. It is not thought that this bank will be badly crippled, as it numbers ameng its stockholders the most stable business men of the town. The directors of the bank worked all night, and finally decided that the course taken was the best, as it would be impossible to stand a run at its time. The news of the Cleveland bank's suspension got to the depositors of the People's Bank last night. and a big run was anticipated this morning, Nothing sensational has developed this morning. "They'll get every dollar," is the expression of the bank people; twe are good for it."
