Kirby Bank Depositors Nearly to End of Cash. District court held an adjourned session Friday morning, the principle business being in connection with the Kirby bank receivership. The claim of O. P. Gallegher was allowed, less certain disputed items and the court ordered a dividend of 2 per cent paid to depositors.
