McDonald was vice president. The former is said to have moved recently from Tulsa to St. Louis while the son last was heard from in Casper, Wyo. Both are sought on warrants based on the indictments.

Jones, assistant cashier of the Farmers' Bank of Callao, who disappeared last Wednesday, W. T. Colman, president of the bank, announced today.
