new RECEIVER FOR
old BANK ASKED BY
THE STOCKHOLDERS
Action Brought in Interven-
ton in the Suit of G. T.
Barringer Against Form
er Banking Institution.

Twenty stockholders of the old Idaho
Trust & Savings bank have filed a
suit in district court in Intervention in
the action of c. T. Barringer against
the bank.
The intervenors are II. n. Coffin,
Anne Caldwell, Carrie E. Halveston and
r., F.. Halveston, Lillian Stormer, II. n.
Hurlbert, Samuel L. Mickey, NJ. E.
Pratt. Melba ]. Paxton. c. F. Paxton,
w. r. Helm, Frank Newland, T. L.
Ragsdale. William Sampson, Rose M.
Bowen, E. e. Bowen, Mrs. C. Mills and
her husband, Edith s. Farrer and F.
d. Farrer.
The intervenors' prayer to the court
is that j. H. Black, cashier Of the Over
land National bank, successor to the
Idaho Trust G. Savings bank, be re-
moved as receiver of the old bank, to
which position he was appointed by
the court, and that in his stead there
be appointed an impartial, dtsinterested
and unbiased receiver and that the
court order and direct such receiver to
pursue and recover, all the assets,
rights and property of the Idaho Trust
& Savings bank, wherever they may be
found, including all the assets and
trust funds being wrongfully held and
enjoyed by the Overland National
bank, and that the Overland National
bank be compelled to account to said
receiver for all the assets, property
rights, trust funds and the proceedings
thereof now held by the Overland Ma
tional bank.
EXCHANGE NOT PERMITTED.
The complaint is lengthy one and
goes into the dealing of the bank and
the collection of special assessments
from the stockholders. 1t alleges that
the Mobiles held more than 60 per cent
of the stock of the bank and that in
the transfer of the stock of the Idaho
Trust & Savings bank to the Overland
National bank the officers refused to
permit the intervenors to exchange
that stock for Overland National bank
stock unless they paid $3.50 per share
for the same although they submitted
to a reduction of the capital stock of
the old bank.
The intervenors represent lat shares
of the capital stock of the old bank,
according to a petition filed with the
complaint in which they cite that I'M
less an impartial disinterested receiver
is appointed and the assets, rights and
property of the Idaho Trust & Savings
bank is pursued, the proceeds will be
entirely lost to the intervenors.
