More Bank Failures The First National Bank at Lusk, Wyoming, near the Nebraska state line, failed to open last Saturday morning, depleted reserves being given as the reason for the closing. This is the third bank to close in Lusk in the last three years, leaving Lusk, the county seat town of Niobrara county, without a bank. This is on North-western railroad. The Empire State Bank, the last remaining bank in the city of Lewistown, in central Montana, was closed Thursday. The city has three railroads and there was a "run" on the banks in December, some of the oldest in Montana. The First National Bank at Huron, county seat of Beadle county, in east-central part of South Dakota, failed to open last Monday, as the runs made on the bank in the last few days had depleted its cash reserve. The town has two North-western lines. The Farmers' State Bank at DeSmet, county seat of Kingsbury county, in eastern part of South Dakota, failed to open Thursday and was taken over by the state banking department. The town is on North-western railroad. The federal reserve bank of the ninth district at Minneapolis has established a branch in the First National Bank at Rapid City, sending a great quantity of currency for the relief of banks in the Black Hills district of South Dakota. Rapid City has had only one bank failure. Other banks here report increased deposits.
