Culloch, an attorney of Sumpter, for
the benefit of the creditors of tho
bank.
U is not believed that Miller is
short in his accounts, although the
bank made a good many bad loans,
which, ndded to the financial and bus
iness depression in Sumpter, has forc
ed it to go out of business.
Neither the First National of Sump
ter nor the Baker City banks will bo
affected by the failure.
Tho bank of Sumpter was organiz
ed five years ago, with A. P. Goss as
president, who managed the concern
until the first of this year, when
Goss sold his Interests to a new com
pany and Roy H. Miller became pres
ident. Th.e bank has done a fair bus
lness and seemed to be in prosperous
condition, until tho sudden depression
of business In the Sumpter district
dlsclosod its weakness.
The capital stock of tho Bank of
Sumpter is $25,000, its organizers be
ing principally local men.
