In company with T. !•' Atherton, William Swetland, R. ,T. Winner, Thomas Ford and others. Mr. Strong founded, in the early sixties, the IMItston hank, which was operated under a State charter. This was the first financial Institution to be established here. It was this old bank that finally gave way to the First National hank, as we know it today. In 1Nfi4. the gentlemen interested in the Plitston hank came to the conclusion that it would be desirable to secure a National charter. The First National bank was, therefore, organized by them.

The Reliance workmen were ordered off the ground, but they refused to go and sent for their officials. The latter were quickly on hand, paving probably suspected that there would be trouble. A wordy war was inaugurated, and the underground working resounded with arguments, threats, heated passages and appeals to calm logic. At times it seemed that a pitched battle .would ensue. The State Constabulary members were called on to assist both sides to maintain their rights and' they were in a iiuandary. Finally all they did Was to maintain peace. Theodore Hogan, general superintendent of the Reliance Co . looked after the interests of his side, and he was threatened with arrest by members of the Constabulary several tiiiles.
