(Continued on page 7) Olsness that he would not be a candidate again for that office and a boom for him for congressman from the Second district were met by Mr. Olsness himself with a declination of comfort. Candidates boosted by their friends for congressman from the Second district became more numerous than any other office. Included among the latest urged for the office was State Auditor D. C. Poindexter. Nye Secretary. The convention at the morning session named Gerald Nye, of Cooperstown, as secretary and credentials committee as follows: C. J. Olson, Barnes county; Mrs. Howard Wood, Cass county, and R. A. Patton, of Mountraill. The convention then adjourned until 3 p. m. out of respect for Woodrow Wilson. Congressional Question. Aside from the gubernatorial nomination, interest next centered in the nomination of a candidate for congress from the Second congressional district to succeed Congressman George Young, who has announced his retirement at the end of the present session. State Chairman W. J. Church of Benson county said that he was "a passive candidate;" a group of Griggs county leaguers were urging Gerald Nye of Cooperstown while Senator John Miklethun of the same county brought a protest against Nye's name in behalf of several leaguers. Ole Olson of New Rockford was favored by many but had discouraged his candidacy. Commissioner of Insurance S. A. Olsness was represented by his friends as a receptive candidate for the place. Third Party Plan Doomed. The league "third party" movement was slated for an early death in the convention. Senator Ralph Ingerson of Burke county, who sponsored the plan, said that he expected it would be killed in convention, and numerous other leaguers who declared that the league should stay in the Republican primary declared that there was no chance of the league taking any other course. However, the Burke county delegation expects to give the convention a chance to talk the matter over. The sentiment that the league should take no action with regard to presidential candidates also was growing. Chairman Church and John Andrews, editor of "The Progressive," who have been at odds on many things, were in accordance with the suggestion that the league keep absolutely out of the national fight. Representative Frank Vogel, an active leader, declared that the big issues of the coming state campaign would be "banks and taxes." Rapid City—Harry Wentzey, president of six South Dakota banks, former president of State Bankers' association and mayor of this city, committed suicide. Despondency over a nervous disease which caused insomnia thought to have been the cause of suicide. Deadwood, S. D.—The Black Hills Trust and Savings bank closed. Run on the bank and reserves tied up on a closed Sioux Falls bank were given as causes.

No attention should be taken to rumors about the condition of Deadwood's banks, as they have been stated clearly by the managements in interviews in this paper. There is a good deal of loose talk at the present time, but before passing judgment regarding affairs of the banks the person hearing the rumor should make a thoro investigation and ascertain the truth of the matter. The spreading of stories to the effect that a bank is not "sound" or that the officers of a bank have been or are negligent or unfair is the quickest way to bring disastrous results and the bird who does it ought to be kicked—where it will hurt and so he will remember it. Deadwood's Indomitable Spirit No finer tribute to the spirit and confidence of the citizens of any city was ever displayed than that shown by the people of Deadwood after the voluntary closing of the Black Hills Trust & Savings bank. Instead of becoming alarmed and wildly rushing upon the First National bank to withdraw their funds—as has been the case in most other places where banks have been closed—the people of Deadwood refused to be upset and new deposits since the Black Hills Trust and Savings bank closed have been more than $50,000 in excess of the withdrawals. There is no need for worry as to the First National bank, as that institution has arranged for cash to pay ALL their deposits, IF NECESSARY, but it seems certain that not even a small part of this will be necessary, as their deposits at this time are steadily increasing. This spirit of confidence and "stick-to-the-ship" — which many have believed was lacking in the Deadwood of the present—shows that tho the depression, which has touched upon the city to somewhat the same extent as upon other towns of the northwest, has been discouraging, there is a general feeling of confidence in the future, as well as a courageous determination to bring conditions back to normal as quickly as concerted and cooperative effort can do so. "Poor old Deadwood", as many have been inclined to dub it, is still as rich in the possession of a courageous and optimistic citizenry as ever, and with such wealth, there is no need to feel discouraged over our future. Ultimately the man who "ties a knot and hangs on" will be rewarded for his courage and confidence.

PLAN TO REOPEN BANK Heavy Run and Nervousness Had Closed its Doors. Deadwood, S. D., Feb. 8.—Special: The Black Hills Trust and Savings bank of this place, which voluntarily closed its doors, hopes to reorganize soon. The directors of the bank issued a statement to the effect that the bank was closed to protect patrons and as a result of heavy withdrawals by depositors the past two months. The bank had paid out $100,000 to depositors the past four weeks. This was due to nervousness caused by the banking situation throughout the state. Every effort will be made to reopen the institution and continue business in a short time. This bank was considered one of the strongest in this section and is said to have ample assets. Many people are affected by the closing, but depositors are protected under the state bank guaranty law.

Says B. H. Trust Accepted Deposit While Insolvent PIERRE, S. D., May 2—When questioned about the suit of the Omaha Merchants National Bank brot against the National Bank of Commerce of Pierre for $10,000 alleged to be due on a cashier's check issued by the Pierre bank to the now defunct Black Hills Trust & Savings bank of Deadwood, which latter institution assigned it to the Omaha bank, and when the latter presented it for payment it was refused, A. W. Ewert, president of the National bank of commerce of this city, and treasurer of the state rural credits board, stated that the check in question was purchased by the state rural credits board and sent by that board to the Deadwood bank for deposit to the credit of the rural credits board. The bank later suspended, and the rural credits board requested the bank to stop payment on the check, on the ground that the Deadwood bank had not legal or other right to accept the check for deposit at a time when it was insolvent. Mr. Ewert stated that a similar situation exists in connection with other cashier's checks issued by the bank which have been sent by the rural credit board for deposit in other suspended banks over the state, and it is possible that suit will be brot by outside depositaries to recover on these checks. The local bank, however, has no liability in the matter, as all the checks were purchased by the rural credits board and it was only at the request of the board that payment was stopped.

Hayes & Heffron for the Black Hills Trust & Savings bank, spent the past two days taking depositions here in the $10,000 cashier's check case. The rural credits commission on January 30, 1924, deposited to its checking account in the Black Hills Trust & Savings bank, a check representing that sum and the check was accepted, $10,000 being placed to the credit of the rural credits board. The check was sent to the Merchants National bank of Omaha, and on to the Federal Reserve bank at Minneapolis. Before it reached the bank of issue, the Commercial National of Pierre, the Black Hills Trust & Savings bank was suspended, and payment of the check was refused by the Pierre bank on the demand of the rural credits board. In this three-cornered suit, the question is, who shall lose? the Omaha bank, the rural credits board, or the Black Hills bank. The contention made on the part of the state is that the Black Hills bank was so much of a wreck on January 30, six days before it suspended, that the receipt of the check was a fraud, entitling the recovery thereof. The banking department claims that the deposit was an ordinary one, and while the bank was running in the usual way, not hopelessly insolvent, and that the rural credits board must have the same standing as all others depositing money in the bank for a considerable time before it suspended. The case will be heard by Judge Elliott of the federal court later. Messrs. Payne and Drewry left last evening for Pierre. Further testimony will be taken here later in the month. Thursday the following, a dispatch from Sioux Falls, was published in the Pioneer-Times, and gives a complete resume of the case: Claiming that the Black Hills Trust & Savings bank checked out the sum of $10,000, which was placed on deposit in the Merchants National bank of Omaha, when the National Bank of Commerce of Pierre issued a check to the Deadwood bank in that amount, the final papers in the case were placed on file with the federal court clerk here. The case will go to trial at Pierre during the federal term, which begins next week. The suit grew out of a check for rural credits board by the Pierre bank for deposit in the bank at Deadwood. The Deadwood bank sent the check to Omaha for deposit and then the Deadwood bank closed. When the check was presented by the Omaha bank to the bank at Pierre for payment, the Pierre bank refused to honor the check because the state rural credits board had ordered payment stopped. The National Bank of Omaha filed suit in federal court to recover from the National Bank of Commerce at Pierre the amount of the check. On July 7 the state, under a federal court order, was allowed to become intervenor in the suit.
