A largo part ot tho article Is a
quoted interview with Robert S.

observer ot tho occurrences sur
rounding tho reoponlng ot tho bank.
Ono paragraph says:
"To my personal observatlpn camo
Instances In which pcoplo ot largo
means offered their entire posses
sions to. Captain Siemens for such
uso as bo might deem prppor,for Uio
reopening of tho bank. Without 'tip-,
llcltatlon ofany character, an In
crcaso ot capital waa volunteered
nnd had to bo prorated when the mo
mont arrived subscriptions which
bad to bo returned coming up to tho
very last momcntOne merchant, at
tbo closing of tho bank, tendered his
business block, which was unincum
bered, and wanted to deed his pror4
orty for bank purposes. Examples
llko theco woro so frequent that tho
effect producod on tho outsider bo
camo almost overpowering. The
spirit ot loyalty and confidence ran
through tho entire community, ro
gardlcss ot -whethor tho Individual
had been banking with tbo First
State and Savings bank or not. On
tho day of reoponlng; there camo to
no notlco tbo case ot a doposltor who
had a balanco with tbo bank who had
beon unablo to draw funds for bov
eral weeks. Ho borrowed $150 from a
friend to liquidate somo personal ac
counts, rathor than draw upon tho

opening Is oxprcsscd ns follews:
"From tho largo crowd gathorod In
