State Bank Commissioner paid about 400 depositors of the Columbia Bank and Trust Company with guaranty funds and on hand cash, while local capitalists offered 250000 in securities and were advised against acceptance. The event spurred statewide interest as questions about guaranty law remained unsettled. A dead negro was found on the Williamsport Pike near town, later reported to be unconscious rather than dead, named Folk, with no clear arrangements for burial.
