Wrecking scheme blamed in La Grande bank failures
An interview with J B Stoddard links the Petward and Traders National Bank collapse to a frenzied overextension scheme led by J W Serider and associates. The banks in Sumpter and Canyon City allegedly operated without real capital, loaning deposits to mining ventures. Deposits fled as assets soured, with La Grande and Sumpter institutions bearing the losses and directors facing scrutiny. The piece cites fraud risks, bank mismanagement, and the broader impact on local deposits and industry.
