CASE AGAINST CRAIG SET FOR NEXT TUESDAY The case of the State vs W. E. Craig, cashier of the Halls Summit State bank, has been continued until Tuesday March 13 at 9 o'clock at the office of the Justice of the Peace E. M. Young in the Library building. Mr. Craig's bond was filed at $10,000 which he gave with his father Thos. Craig and his grandfather, A. Craig as sureties. Mr. Craig has retained Joe Rolston as his attorney. County Attorney E. R. Evans at the suggestion of the state banking department asked that the bond be fixed at $25,000, while the defense thought $3,500 should be high enough. There are no new developments in the case, except that the state banking department says it has uncovered more irregularities than those said to have been found at first. Mr. Craig still insists that every cent will be found properly accounted for. One of the unusual features of the failure of the Halls Summit bank was the attitude of the people of that community, many of whom have known for some time that the bank was hard pressed, but they held their heads, and there was no run on the bank, the deposits on the day it closed amounting to about $55,000. The deposits are guaranteed. Otter Creek Club Meets The members of the Otter Creek club were very pleasantly entertained by Mrs. John Mozingo at her home Thursday afternoon. Thirteen members and four visitors were present. It was voted to have a social meeting and weinie roast Saturday night at the home of Walter Craig. The contest was won by Ella Kellerman and Helen Hamman. The hostess served delicious refreshments of heavenly hash and cocoa. The next meeting is to be with Mrs. Ella Kellerman and is to be an all day meeting at which the members will quilt on her club quilt. All members who know they cannot be present at noon are requested to let Mrs. Kellerman know they can not come. The roll call for that meeting is to be answered by telling your way of ironing your table linen. E. H. Carr of near Lebo was in Burlington Tuesday bringing his daughter, Miss Emma, down for her school work. Mr. Carr returned from Kansas City Monday night where he had been with his son Marshall who was operated on in a hospital there for appendicitis. Marshall is doing as nicely as can be expected.
