TACOMA, Sept. 7.โ(AP)โO. M. Green, former Olympia banker, is named defendant in a $25,000 suit filed in federal court by H. W. Douglas as receiver of the defunct Olympia National Bank of Olympia, which closed its doors last January 22.

THEFT OF LUMBER CHARGED TO FARMER
John Sloane, 48, a resident of the Black Lake district, was being held in the county jail on a larceny charge Wednesday in connection with the alleged theft of lumber from the Fifth avenue hotel, now being razed. Sloane was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Mike Lindsey and police authorities at his home Tuesday evening.
Sloane, Lindsey said, admitted taking the lumber. He had built a chicken house on his ranch from material removed from the hotel structure, Lindsey indicated.
In a search of the Sloane premises five dozen bottles of beer and 30 gallons of wine were found, Lindsey declared. No charges have yet been filed in connection with the liquor.
