LOCAL BANKS TO RECEIVE GOLD

Gold and gold certificates that have been in hiding for years are being turned in at the two banks of Comanche. One person Thursday deposited a quantity of gold, some of which bore the date of 1850.

The exact amount which had been turned in could not be learned but it is understood to be relatively large. The Government is calling upon all banks to make a report at the close of business today of the amount which has been turned in.

The Government is expected to fix a penalty or make non-negotiable gold and gold certificates that are not turned into the banks, one banker stated.
