He heard heavy breathing in a rear room and upon investigating found Mr. Peterson lying on a small bed bleeding and unconscious. Mr. Hougen immediately summoned assistance and notified authorities. No Money Taken W. P.

L. J. Norby, president of the bank, is a brother of W. J. Norby, the man who is suffering with wounds in a hospital here. Shcrtly after the Security State bank closed today, word was r ceived here that the Citizens’ Sta’ bank at Callaway had closed its doors, Whether the bank closings have any connection with the une: plained shooting of the two B er county bankers is a point which} has net been cleared. Investigation Under Way County Attorney SI Id was investigating the po lity of there being a connection, but he declined to make any comment on the situation, other than he “was investigating. Thursday night deputies from) the state bank examiners’ office, officials of the Security bank and the county attorney consulted with officers of the Callaway bank. | Tt was decided to close the bank! today und place all assets in the hands of the state banking com- mission. Mr. Sletvold announced that there is no criminal action’ hinted in the closing of the bank. Officials said the bank was closed to preserve what was left of the assets to pay off depositors safely after the state department has had time to go over the books and collect on outstanding papers | of the bank. ' Had the bank been permitted to, stay open in the face of the run already begun, bank and county of-! ficials assert the result might have been still more disastrous to de-| pesitors.
