TORS TO THE STRANDED INSTITUTION THE DIVIDEND WILL
BE HANDSOME ONE—ONLY TWO-THIRDS TO THREE- FOURTHS

Announcement of another dividend
at the First National bank will be
made within less time than one month

also be a handsome one.
The announcement was mnde yes
terday by RoCelver Butler, of the First
National bank. This dividend will
be ready during the latter days of Au
gust, whether the negotiation* now
on prove satisfactory or not. but tho
amount to be paid out will depend to
some extent on the result of the deals

Receiver Butler say* in going over
the depositors* list* that he finds still
on hand from one-third to one-fourth
of the 40 per cent dividend declared
while the bank was in the hands of
Receiver Albertsen. Thl* cause* tho
present receiver to feel that the cred
itor* of tho First National bank aro
not at present uneany about the settle
ment of claims against this institu
tion.
Judging from all Indications, Re
ceiver Butler fools that when the next
dividend is declared the creditors of
the bunk will bo fairly on their feet
us regards money placed on deposit.
The next dividend will be early an
nounced and tho amount to he paid
out In addition to the first dividend
