BAKER & SON “Where Quality and Prices Meet” re GETS THE LIMIT. George Waterman, former | president of the Kamiah State | bank at Kamiah who was found | guilty Wednesday by a jury at Nezperce, of sending false re- ports of the condition of his bank to the state department of finance, was Saturday given the maximum sentence allowed by law by Judge Wallace N. Seales eighteen months to three years in the state penitentiary at Boise , and a fine of $1,000. An application made for bail to obtain Waterman’s release pending the filing of an appeal has been denied. It is thought that Waterman will be taken to | Boise to begin serving his sen- tence as soon as a guard from the penitentiary can arrive. In the meantime he is being held in | the county jail at Nezperce. Leslie Roth, former assistant | cashier of the Kamiah State | bank, Saturday paid a fine of $500, imposed in court at Nez- | perce Friday when he _ pleaded | guilty to a technical violation of Bs ew 2 en tw oeonammmmmmnsenentoenanhoainenrnnesete pA state banking laws. Roth | withdrew a former plea of not }guilty. The states attorney re- commended leniency when it was learned that Roth committed the | offense when he was 19 years old. There still remains, hanging }over Waterman’s head a federal indictment, the charge being practically the same as the one for which he was convicted at Nezperce. At the completion of his penitentiary term at Boise he will have to face the federal charge which accuses him of falsifying the reports of the Na- tonal bank at Clarkston which |also closed its door at the time | the Kamiah State bank failed. | FARM BUREAU NEWS. | A general farm bureau meet- | ing has been called by President | N.
