Oswald West's right-hand man during the recent campaign, will be the choice of the incoming board as State Bank Examiner to succeed Will Wright, Incumbent, Is being freely talked here and there Is considerable speculation aa to the truth of the rumor, which appar ently comes -from a good source. That Olcott will be the choice of West If a change Is decided upon seems almost certain, although West has made no statement as to what he will do In this respect. Whether Olcott would accept Is not posi tively known, as he refused to be quoted tonight. But there Is every reason to believe that he will be the man selected by West and, further, there Is every rea son to believe, from what con be gath ered, that at least two votes of the board will ba cast for Olcott. If Olcott will agree to accept. - For practically two years Olcott snd West were employed togctlur In tha Ladd & Bush Bank. In this city. During that time the Governor-elect end Olcott were roommatea and formed a close attachment.

In this case Judge Bean sustained a plea In abatement to tha fourth count of the indictment charging a fraudulent attempt to acquire extensive areas of timber land In Southern Idaho, and the case waa carried to the Supreme Court on a writ of error.

The case against the Barber Lumber Company has never been tried upon Its merits, but is remanded and will now go to trial.
