During the last ' few days, the estate of J. W. Scrlber has filed a claim against -every piece of paper In the hands of the receiver that is not made out to the Farmers & Traders' National bank. .Those who know conditions are aware that there are many such Instances. Among these Items la the Ontario property valued at 19000. The re ceiver had figured on this item as an asset of the bank and as such figured It In the plans for the Issuance of 45 or 50 per cent dividends. Now, then, the estate claims this large Item be cause the deeds are no made out ln the name of the bank, but are In the name of Scrlber himself. There are many similar cases. Will All Be Fought.

V. OLIVER The same was true of the Ontario property. The new claims against the bank by the estate has caused the bank to file claims against the estate for every note that, for the difference be tween the notes and papers In their hands and the sum total of notes that should be there according to the books. The bank will eue for the abstractions In the loans and savings account said to have amounted to approximately $12,000. It will sue for the $12,000 alleged to have been destroyed when the bank failed, and it will sue for the collections on all accommodation notes. To properly describe the mat ter as It now stands would be a tark of grfat moment, but the point espe -.

Will Total $175,000. The Various items so defended by the bank will amount to something like $175,000, which, If allowed against the estate, will mean that the estate will pay a dividend something like 10 per cent. On the other hand, should the state contentions be upheld by the courts, the asette of the bank will decrease proportionately.
