BANK EXAMINER NOW IN CHARGE OF BANK H. S. McGraw, former Superintendent of Banks under the administration of Gov. Stewart was appointed early in the week as the receiver of the First National Bank of Plentywood which failed Thursday a week ago. Mr. McGraw is well acquainted in Plentywood, having spent several days here at the time of the failure of the Sheridna County State Bank in December 1920, before receivers were appointed for that institution. He will arrive in Plentywood tomorrow. Mr. McGraw has just returned to Montana from Washington, D. C., where he has been in the employ of the War Finance Corporation. Although a prominent democrat he received his appointment at the hands of a republican comptroller of the currency-through, no doubt the recommendation of Tem Marlow, the manager of the Helena Branch of the Federal Reserve who is is understood attends to such things in Montana. Last Saturday after the First National had closed on Thursday, the National bank examiner arrived and took charge of the bank and gave it a thorough examination.

DIRECTORS OF PLENTYWOOD ST. BANK MEET TUESDAY EVENING The directors and several of the heavy depositors of the defunct Plentywood State Bank are reported to have met quietly in the offices of that institution Tuesday evening, and to have carefully gone over the proposition to reopen that bank again since the closing of the First National Bank of Plentywood last week. It seems that since the closing of the First National that a number of the people formerly connected with the defunct Plentywood State Bank feel that there is a splendid opening in Plentywood for another bank and they feel that if now the State Bank could be opened again that it might be able to ride. Just what plans were formulated have not been disclosed. It is however, claimed that quite a number of those interested in that institution are very jealous of the idea of allowing Riba to have a monopoly of the banking business.
