BILLINGTON SETTLES CASE Former Cashier of Driscoll State Bank Pays $1,200 The embezzlement charge against O. R. Billington, formerly cashier of the Driscoll State Bank, was dismissed in district court today by Judge James A. Coffey on motion of State's Attorney E. S. Allen. A statement presented to the court by the state's attorney said that Billington would make settlement in the sum of about $1,200. The state's attorney said it appeared doubtful if a conviction could be secured, that he had.communicated with the largest stockholders of the bank, with the bankers' association, the state examiner and with L. R. Baird, receiver of the bank, "and have infermed them that certain claims of the bank against the defendant had been adjusted, and they have informed me that they are of the opinion that I would be perfectly justified, under the circumstances, in asking for a dismissal of the said action against the defendant." The state's attorney also said the county would be saved heavy expense involved in a trial. The original examiner's report charged Billington, who now is in South Dakota, with embezzling several thousand dollars, the charge being chiefly of the sale of property mortgaged to the bank. A jury today heard. the case of W. M. Baker against the RussellMiller company, involving suit for possession of disputed grain.
