Finances of Mr. and Mrs.

Much Involved
Involved plans of finance which
have led Mr. and Mrs. W. Hyett
into court were partially untang

the Hyetts to a complaint made
10 days ago by the Bank of Free
water, plaintiffs in a suit to col
lect on a S7D00 and a $2400 note
given by the defendants to the
bank.
The Hyetts maintain that the
notes were given for the purchase
of bank stock and. a subsequent
assessment upon the same under
an agreement maae wun me pres
ident of the bank wherein the
latter declared that the notes were
given only as a matter of form to
make 'Hyett an owner of bank
stock and thus a director In the
bank.
Hyatt la. said to have given the
first note tor $3000 In January,
1927, when he took a position as
cashier in the Bank of Freewater.
Ha surrendered his stock to the
president of the bank and when an
80 per cent stock assessment was
demanded of all stockholders in

note, .this timeafor $2400 in pay

In November, 1928, many shares
of the bank. Including the l SO
shares Hyett had collateraled ag
ainst his $30100 note, were sold to
T. A. Growe.
Because the notes were obtained
by misrepresentation and because
