TWO BANKS CLOSE. Runs on Richland and Kalamazoo In. stitutions Puts 'Em Out of Business. Kalamazoo, Mich., Oct. 10.-As the result of a small run, during which considerable money was paid out, the Union bank of Richland, a private institution which succeeded the old Richland Exchange bank, decided late Tuesday to suspend business, and the doors of that institution were closed Wedneday morning. Following this action the Bowman bank of Kalamazoo, a private bank, doing business at 201 Burdick street, of which E. W. Bowman is president, decided to close its doors to avoid a pos. sible run. Mr. Bowman was one of the co-partners in the Richland bank and heavily interested in that institytion. The capital stock of the banks is small, only $6,000 for the Richland institution. The liabilities are given as $195,000; the liabilities of the Richland bank being stated as $120,000, and the Bowman bank's liabilities as $75,000. It is stated that the directors of the Richland bank, all rich farmers, will be able to pay all indebtedness, and it is believed Mr. Bowman will also be able to settle all liabilities, though his name is on some paper Late Tuesday George M. Evers was named as assignee of the Richland Union bank. Wallace W. Dewey of Kalamazoo is president of the Richland bank; Miss Rell S. Wilson is cashier. Patrick H. Gilkey, one of southern Michigan's most prominent democratic politicians, Elias W. Bowerman and A. R. Whitney are co-partners.

Robertson, with the assent of the company, for the Farmers' Trust, Banking and Deposit Company, of this city, The receivers are Messrs. Beverly W. Mister and Eldridge S. Johnson, who qualified by filing bonds for $100,000. Tightness of the money market is given as the cause of the embarrassment of the company, which conducted banking institutions at Galena, Md., under the name of the Galena Bank; at Darlington, Md., under the name of the Darlington Bank; at Keedysville, Md., under the name of the Keedysville Bank; at Mount Airy, Md.. under the name of the Mount Airy Bank, and at Hancock, Md., under the name of the Washington County Bank. Kalamazoo, Mich., Oct. 9.-The Union Bank, of Richland, and the Bowman Bank, of this city, private institutions, have closed their doors, with liabilities which are said to total $195,000, of which those of the United Bank amount to $120,000. The suspension at Richland followed a small run yesterday. As E. A. Bowman, proprietor of Bowman's Bank here, was heavily interested in the Richland institution, he decided to close to avoid a possible run. He says the directors of the Union Bank are all rich farmers, who will be able to pay all its indebtedness. George W. Evers has been made assignee of the Union Bank.
