Fargo, N. D., Oct. 10.—Nonpar tisan League officials Who have been
prominent in the movement to re-open,the Scandinavian-American Bank of,
Fargo, made the declaration last night that although thp bank is.no longer
under the direction: of ttye. temporary receiver recently appointed, a con
siderable amount of thfe bank's correspondence is-missing from the flies 'of
the institution.
O. E. Lofthus,"State bank, examiner, made a formal demand upon P. E.
Halldorson. deputy bank examiner, and former receiver for tli% Scandinavian-,
American Bank, for, any, property taken from the'bank whifth has not been
returned. Halldorson' replied by sending the following lettejf to Lofthus to
day:' ..

Albert E Sheet, Jr., assistant attorney general, dtoing the *ime I assumed

Demands Records.
Immediately upon receipt of the letter from Halldorson Lofthus served
a notice on William Langer, attorney general Thomas Hall,'secretary of
state Albert E. Sheets. Jr., and a local Arm of attorneys, who were retained
by Attorney General William-Langer after a [receiver appointed for .the
Fargo bank. The notice follows: 'i
"You and each of you are hereby
notified and. required to immediately

An a new angle of the Fargo bank
situation that bids fair to become
one of the most important features of
the entire proceeding.
The fact that the state banking de
partment'has had cognizance, of the
condition of the Scandinavian "Ameri
can bank ev&r snce June, 1-918, and
has failed'to. act, while generally sus
pected, is.'hy- the Halliday letter com
pletely established, say observers who
have watch'ed the rapidly developing
exploits of the' Nonpartisan league
leaders.
Cause of Halliday Better.
A point that has developed since
the publication of the Halliday letter
brings to light the purposes that ap
parently actuated J. J. Hastings and
the deputy-examiner,' Semingson, who
apparently had been working with
the bank, officials and the state bank
examiner in covering up the actual
condition -of the Fargo institution.
Semingson is the present chief deputy
bank examJfier under appointment
from 0. El Lofthus, temporarily in
charge of the Affairs of the closed
bank by" order..tjie supreme court
It appears, from the facts develop
ed yesterday, that i-^Semingson, whom
Waters and his man Halliday con
sidered entirely trustworthy, had
been dispatched, to. the, bank without
the knowledge of this slate guaranty
commission, .which at that time -was
making a special examination of ail
state banks preparatory to admitting
them to the state guaranty system.
Investigators, Unexpected.
On the day. following' .-Semingson'a
arrival in Fargo, B. G. Schorgge of
Williston, a -memberrof the -guaranty
commission, and P. E. Halldorfeon, a
deputy bank ..' examiner, arrived in
Fargo, and joined in, the investigation
of the bank's conditions.
The arrival of Schrogge and Hall
dorson was entirely unexpected, eith
er by the, officials of the Scandinavi
an-American bank, or by Examiners
rJ. R. Waters and his chief deputy:
As the: Halliday letter shows, Hast
ings ahji Semingson, apparently, act
ing in concert, sought to get in touch
with Waters ''by telephone "for the
purpose of getting information from
him as to the course of procedure to
be adopted in meeting the unexpected
turn.
The action of the banking board in
closing this bank, is going to be fully
reviewed and investigated by the
courts of this state and pending said
investigation -the supreme court has
placed the undersigned, state bank
examiner, in charge of the property
of the bank.
"I desire to impress- upon the de
positors of this bank, the fact that
there is absolutely no possibility of
their losing a single dollar and all
reasonable diligence and dispatch
will be used by the undersigned in
completing my duties with" a view to
the early payment of your account.
"Respectfully,

"State Bank Examiner."

Day of Quiet.
It was just a week ago yesterday that
the Fargo biink was closed, and- it is
the first day during the period suc
ceeding "that sensational event that
apparent quiet has reigned. Examin
er Lofthus and the group of Non
partisan league attorneys are in pos
session of the bank and are appar
ently devoting their -attention to the
checking up of its affairs. In some
quarters, predictions are made that
the bank will be speedily reopened.
Lofthus last night changed the no
tice on the door of the closed bahk,
and hung out a new proclamation as
follows:
"To the depositors of.the Scandi
navian-American bank of Fargo,
North Dakota:
"The temporary receiver appointed
for the above bank by the state bank
