Checks Are Due At Once For Liberty State Bank Depositors
A five per cent dividend will be paid to depositors of the defunct Liberty State bank, closed December 14 last year. About $15,000 is expected, based on $300,000 on deposit, with checks being prepared after an order signed in Lincoln. The payout aims to boost holiday spending in Cheyenne county where most deposits resided, the second dividend following a June ten per cent payment. Depositors note slow collections and fear the full sixty per cent expected at closure may not be reached, though officials say liquidation proceeds slowly.
