SENSIBLE PLAN TO PAY OVERLAND DEPOSITORS Bank The Overland National of Boise, closed its doors a few weeks ago and since that time some of the principal depositors and stockholders have been busy in an effort for reorganization and thus to save the expense of the receivership. It is now said that a plan has been proposed that will give the depositor 50 per cent in time certificates, and the other 50 per cent shall be paid after the slow assets of said bank shall have been collected. In this way, a new bank will be organized, to take care of the business, and it is expected th it in three years the depositors will have been paid in full, the stockholders will not lose their interests and the bank, being a going concern instead of of a dead proposition in the hands of a receiver, will have a value in itself. Mr. loyd C. White of Boise has a force of solicitors who expect to see all the stockholders of the bank and secure their waiver and consent to the plan, which seems to be based on good common sense.

BANK PAYING DEPOSITORS

One thousand six hundred and sixty-six checks were mailed recently to the comptroller of the treasury for his signature, by R. L. Curtis, receiver of the Overland National bank. The sum represented by these checks equals $86,930.02 or the next 10 per cent dividend which will be paid to creditors of the institution as soon as the checks can be signed and mailed to Boise.

This third division will make a total of 45 per cent paid on the total number of proven claims. Proven claims total $869,290.80. The largest individual check sent to the comptroller was for $9079.45 and the smallest was for 2 cents.

The last dividend was paid to creditors about a month ago. It will be fifteen days before this group of checks is ready for distribution. Wrapped for mailing, the checks made a package about eighteen inches long by twelve inches wide by two inches deep. It was securely tied and so besmeared with red sealing wax that it resembled a Christmas box.

BICKNELL FREED
OF U. S. CHARGE
IN BANKING CASE

Not Guilty of Misapplication of Funds-Disagree on False Reports

R. F. Bicknell, former president: J. H. Black, vice president, and G. R. Hitt, cashier of the defunct Overland National bank, at Boise, were on Sunday found not guilty of misapplication of the bank's funds but the jury disagreed on the charge of making false reports to the comptroller in the items of excess loans. The case was tried in federal court at Boise.

Bicknell was bondsman for the contractors on the Grangeville-Whitebird link of the North and South Highway. He is reported to have lost much money in this enterprise.

U. S. District Atty. E. G. Davis, said that he would probably proceed to retry the defendants on the latter charge. The jury asked for further instructions Saturday night after being out for eight hours regarding the testimony of certain of the witnessess, asking if the members of the jury had a right to substitute heir own idea as to the evidence testified to by witnessess. They were informed by Judge Bean that they had not. The jury then retired and returned a sealed verdict Sunday. The trial of the case occupied two weeks. Indictments were returned by the grand jury this fall. The bank failed more than a year ago. All the defendants are prominent.

Bicknell was food commissioner for Idaho during the war. He is a successful sheep man. Black is his son-in-law and had been in business in Boise for years. Hitt was state bank commissioner of Idaho when Governor Alexander was chief executive of the state.

Bicknell resigned as president of the bank several months before its failure Up to the present time the bank under the receiver has paid 45 percent of deposits. The government made its case against the bankers largely on the charge they deliberately made excess loans in violation of the federal banking laws.
