LISTING DEFUNCT OVERLAND
NATIONAL AT BOISE

] Boise.-R. F. Bicknell, former fed
eral food commissioner of Idaho, and
ohe-time president of the defunct Ov-
erland National bank of this city, was
indicted by the federal grand jury
here today on the charge of misappli-
cation of the banks funds and false
reports to the comptroller of the cur
rency. Bicknell is a prominent Ida
tho sheepman. He was arraigned be-
fore Judge Frank S. Dietrich this af-
ternoon, with G. r. Hit, former cash
ier of the bank and state bank COM
missioner of Idaho three years ago,
and J. H. Black, vice president of the
bank and the son-in-law of Bicknef1,
against whom similar indictments
were returned
Next Monday morning at 10 o'clock
was set as the date for them to enter
their pleas.
Separate Indictment Charges
Separate indictments charge Bick-
nell with misapplication of the banks
funds and Hit with making false re-
ports to the comptroller of the cur
rency. In the two other indictments,
which also charge misapplication of
the banks funds and the making of
false reports to the comptroller of
currency, Bicknell, Hit and Black are
collective defendants.
Two counts are contained in sep
arate indictments against Bicknel1.
The first charges that he fraudulently
converted $4,000 of the banks funds
to his own use by rediscounting and
placing to his personal account
$10, 900 note dated October 1, 1920,
and signed by David Crimmell.
The second count charges that he
converted $1,000 of the banks funds

tanned in the separate indictments
against Hit, charging that he made
false entries in his reports to the
comptroller of the currency in his
reports dating fom May 4, 1920, to
March l, 1921.
Every Report False
In every report, it is alleged, the
banks loans and discounts were re-
ported at a smaller amount than they
really were. The Indictment which
charges Hit, Black and Bicknell COL
lectively with misapplication of the
banks funds contains seven counts,
alleging that the officers loaned the
Western Construction company and
A. S. WhiteWay total of $27 ,J12 on
seven notes for the sum of $4,000 and
$512 respectively. The notes were un-
secured and the banks funds were
fraudulently converted to the use Of
this company, the indictment charges.
They were signed by A. S. Whiteway
and S. e. Burnham as payees, accord
ing to the indictment

organized in June, 1915, headed by
Ernest Noble as president. In jan
uary 1917, Noble was succeeded by
Bicknell, who held the presidency
until the bank closed it's doors year
ago last May.

M'GRUDER MURDER
OF '63 RECALLED
MOSCOW MAN HAS OLD RIFLE
STOCK FOUND NEAR SCENES
OF HISTORIC MURDER

There has been on display for sew
eral days, in the show window of the
Collins & Orland Hardware company
relic of real historic interest in
north Idaho, its interest being based
on one of the earliest tragedies of
the northwest, which had its culmi-
nation in the first legal hanging in
northern Idaho. The relic is the stock
of an old army musket, found on the
site of the McGruder massacre, which
occurred in 1863, SO miles east of Elk
City, in what is now Idaho county.
McGurder was a well known packer
of the earliest days of the northwest,
operating a pack train between Lew
iston and the mining camps of Mon
tana. On one of his trips a number
of bandits wormed their way into his
confidence and accompanied him on
the trip, evidently as helpers. On the
way back he was accompanied by
three young men who joined the party
in Montana. McGurder carried about
$4,000 in gold dust, the product Of
his sales, and the three young men
some $4,000. Coming home, at the
site of what is now known as Nc
Gruder mountain, the bandits shot
McGruder and his three companions
and escaped with the gold dust
A few days later, when McGruder
failed to make his appearance at
Lewiston, some of his friends, sus-
Picioning foul play, took up the trail
and discovered the bodies A Lewis
ton man, whose name is not obtain
able, then followed the bandits to
California where, with the aid of a
United States marshal, they were ap-
pretended and brought back to Lew
iston, where they were tried and
hanged, being the first men legally
executed in northern Idaho.
The old gun stock, which it is be-
lieved is a part of the gun which Nc
Gruder carried, was found during the
summer of 1913 by William Griffith
of the forest service. 1t was cached
under a log and the side next to the
ground was rotted away, leaving
about half of the stock intact 1t was
made of some kind of hardwood, prob
ably hickory, and the part remaining
is perfectly solid. The piece of wood
was found about a fourth of a mile
from the site of the murder. Don c.,
Fisher, a student in the school of
forestry at the University of Idaho,
who was with Griffith in the forestry
service during the past summer, Sc
cured the gunstock from him and
brought it to Moscow, where it has
been on exhibition for the past week.
1t Will now be turned over to the
pioneer association at Lewiston, al
though it will remain Mr.. Fishers
property,

IDAHO PEOPLE URGED TO AID
GROWERS BY BUYING SPUDS

Increased home consumption of po-
tatoes and the resultant creation OF
markets where potatoes are grown
was urged by Governor Davis in a
proclamation issued on the suggestion
of the Nampa chamber of commerce
The proclamation urges that every
family use greater amount of pota-
toes, and requests the placing of or
ders for the winter supply.
The proclamation follows
Whereas. the potato growers of
our state and nation, on account of
unusual overproduction and unfavor-
able economic conditions, are being
forced to market their potatoes at
ruinously low prices, many producers
being unable to realize the cost of
production; and
Whereas, the loss or partial loss OF
the potato crop in our state and ma
ton would be calamity, not only to
our potato growers, but to all our
people;
NOW, therefore, he it known that a
plan has been adopted to increase the
consumption and create market for
potatoes by suggesting that every
family endeavor to use greater
amount of potatoes and place orders
for their winters supply Immediate

SCOUT EXECUTIVE PLANS
Big RALLIES FOR FALL

Il am having letters sent out to
new towns, also every old troop is
being asked to reorganize and while
yet east l will start plans for a fall
rally, or rather rallies, having sever
al towns get their scouts together for
field meet, stunts, etc., to arouse
enthusiasm for scouting" states F.
D. Hawley, who is now enroute to at
tend the national scout meeting at

Legion MEMBERS
TO MEET MONDAY
WILL CONSIDER PLANS FOR PUR-
CHASE OF HOME SITE AND
OTHER PROBLEMS

Matters of considerable interest to
all ex-service men will be considered
Monday evening at 1880 p. M, when
Dudley Loomis Post of the American
Legion meets at the chamber of COM
merce rooms in a special session.
Perhaps the item that will furnish
the drawing card to-. the meeting will
be the consideration of the purchase
of the lot adjacent the Moscow Com
mission company for site upon
are anticipating.
The second largest item of inter-
est that will be decided Monday night
relates to the Armistice day celebra-
tions that will be staged here in Nov
ember. Post members are planning a
bigger demonstration this year than
ever has been put on.
Information regarding the purchase
of this site has been gathered by Of
ficials of the local post and the op-
inion is that without undue hardship
the Legion may be able to make some
kind of terms that will be acceptable
to all.
Another matter in which the ex-
service men are vitality interested and
in which they expect to give their
support is the University of Idaho
building association. The men have
been intimately concerned with the
work of local business men who have
so we'll taken up the organization OF
the association and wish to in some
wav cooperate in the work. This will
be one of the matters decided.
The boys also plan to actively take
part in the payment for the G. A. r.
memorial recently placed in the Mos
COW cemetery and expect to settle
that question Monday evening. The
BOYS are whole-heartedly behind the
civil war veterans and wish to express
their appreciation.
other items to be discussed and
solved relate to the campaign OF the
Salvation Army which is soliciting an
nual funds to carry on work, the I'M
mediate securing of the Miller hall in
which to place temporary headquart-
ers and various others things that
need solving by the organization.
Sargeant Eugene Nagele, post COM
mander, has scheduled the meeting
and sent out circular letters to all
members of the local post asking that
they attend and aid in deciding the IS
sues that mean for the well-being OF
the legion here.
The Sergeant also, by the way, has
some other plans, very feasible and
highly recommendatory that he wish
es to air before the legioners at the
coming conclave. Just what the ma
ture of his proposals are he has not
divulged, but he feels confident as do
other members with whom he has
talked that they will prove very bene-
ficial to the post.
