only contracted to give title at
such time when all of the deferred
payments had been made; never.
the less, in this state of the mat
ter the Sheridan Ranch Co. con-
fected a deed, purporting to be a
mortgage on said cut. over land,
for the sum Of $4,000 and issued
a mortgage note for that sum,
giving the supposed mortgage
note to the Commercial Bank as
security for the aforesaid loan of
$4,000. In truth and in fact,
the Bank has no mortgage on the
property and the transaction is
fictitious, misleading and actually
criminal in its nature. Further
investigation into this transaction
disclosed that on the same day
that H. D. Bickham, as president
of the Commercial Bank, made
the loan to E. D. Sheridan for the
Sheridan Ranch Co., Mr.. Bick-
ham procured in cash from the
bank the sum of $4,000, which
sum was deducted from the de.
post ticket that evidenced the
credit of the proceeds of the loan
of $4,000 to the Sheridan Ranch
Co. At the same time, and in
like manner, Mr.. E. D. Sheridan
procured also the sum of $500
from the same source. Later, on
May 6, 1918, H. D. Bickham pro.
cured a further sum in cash of
$500 from tho Sheridan Ranch
Co. by check against the funds
resulting from the loan of $4,000
as is evidenced by the check Of.
the Sheridan Ranch Co. to him
with his endorsement thereon. At
the same time E. D. Sheridan also
procured a further sum of $500
in the same manner and evidenced
by the same character Of facts.
In this connection it is pertinent
to state that neither Mr.. Bickham
or Mr.. Sheridan gave the Sheri-
dan Ranch Co. any note or other
evidence of indebtedness for tEe
81, 900 procured respectively by|
them; nor is there any record Of
same on the books of the Sheri.
dan Ranch Co. Mr.. Sheridan !
explains that he was managing
The company and procured these
funds for salary, expenses and
services rendered. Mr.. Bickham
makes no other explanation fur.
ther than to say that he borrowed
The money from the company. In
passing | will state that the Sher-
dan Ranch Go, kept no books
whatever, Its account at the
Bank is overdrawn and its assets
consist Of about $50 head of cattle
md one or two houses which
rave been built on the cut.
and. The land is not under
enoe and the cattle now are
canning. tits impossible for me
o state the exact value of these
ssets, but it is certain that the
Sank will sustain a very heavy
)ss on this transaction.
