(SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-SENTINEL)
PORTLAND, Ind., August 10.—Following what might be termed a run on the bank for the past several days, the Farmers' State bank, Redkey's second banking institution, closed its doors yesterday, the directors taking this action, it is said, on advice from Deputy State Bank Commissioner Thomas S. Barr, who has been there for the past several days. The directors decided to close the bank until such a time when the consolidation with the other bank—the Bank of Redkey—which was forced to close its doors several weeks ago because of financial difficulties, can be formed.
A meeting of the directors of both banks has been called for Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, August 17. The meetings will not be held jointly and the stockholders will then ratify the action of the directors of the banks taken toward consolidation.
