Lyman State Bank Closure Shakes Western Nebraska
The Lyman state bank was closed last Wednesday night and its affairs turned over to the state banking commission. With $40,000 to $80,000 in frozen securities and around $170,000 in notes, the bank’s collapse is described as a rocky departure, with little optimism in the Ledger’s view. Beet farmers plan to cut acreage and diversify crops as Great Western Sugar terms loom. Auto crash injuries vary from a broken collarbone to multiple broken ribs and head cuts, with one occupant unharmed. Oshkosh conducts a spring cleanup day on May 1 to start the new month.
