The crash came suddenly at the noon hour hi the office of the concern, room 1-1 La Sallu street, which was charge of T. B. Waterbury. It was an unpleasant surprise to the.patrons and creditors, the liabilities, it is understood, being- SSO.OOO, and the assets nothing.

The houso was heavily on the bear side of the market, and the recent rise in wheat and pork proved too much for the firm, Branch Clone. The assignment was immediately followed by the closing of the twenty- seven branch offices, which were connected by a system of leased wires with the' Chicago office. In Illinois, outside of Chicago, the firm did business at Sterling, Dixon, Clinton, Odell, Pontiac, Lexington, Lincoln, Atlanta; in Iowa at. Davenport, Newton, Colfax, Des Moines, Stuart, Atlantic, Walnut, Cedar Rapids, Tama, Boone, Jefferson, Carroll and Logan; in Nebraska at Omaha and Lincoln and in Missouri at St. Louis.

When the bank sent its paper to the clearing- house Wednesday afternoon the directors of the association on motion of Cashier Guthrie, of the National Lafayette bank, suspended payment on the paper and ordered an investigation of tho bank's condition.
