OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Case.


Special Correspondence of the Standard
Bozeman, March 24.-From a copy of
the Los Angeles Times, received here
to-day. 1T is found that Hon. Nelson
Story of Bozeman has bought a con-
siderable amount of stock in the Ma
tional bank of California of Los An
geles. The paper says:
THE growth of the business of this
deservedly popular institution has
caused it to draw to itself more
strength, experience and assistance.
the better to meet every demand of the
future. The Hon. Nelson Story has en-
tered the directorate of the bank. Mr..
Story, late of Montana, is one of the
most successful business men of this
coast; man of large wealth and ex-
perience in banking and business. He
has recently established himself in a
beautiful home on Adams street and
made large investments in choice bust
ness property; a well read man, a
writer on financial subjects, influential
in national politics and keenly alive to
the Importance of a first-class harbor
here"
Then follows a still greater surprise
to the people of this city, in a notice
which states that Joseph d. Radford,
who left here but one month ago. has
secured a position as assistant cashier
of this same institution. Mr.. Radford
was for over IL years assistant cashier
of the Gallatin Valley National bank
here, and is at the present time presi-
dent of the First National bank of Big
Timber. besides having many business
interests in Bozeman. In referring to
him. the Times says:
Joseph ID. Radford has accepted an
assistant cashiership. He comes from
the Gallatin Valley National bank of
Montana, in which he was a very act
i've and effective officer, a bank that in
the pressure Of 1898 promptly paid all
its depositors and also returned its cap
ital to it's shareholders with a large
premium added. Mr.. Radford is in the
prime of life, and having spent his
whole business life in banking, is a
very valuable acquisition to the staff
of the National bank of California"
DIR. w. A. Tudor received a very in
teresting letter from Mr.. Radford this
morning and especially in that part
which refers to the numerous Bozeman
people now in Los Angeles he says:
81 found Mrs. Radford somewhat bet
ter than when left her in the spring
and Ruth is very well indeed, having
grown to quite a big girl now. I went
to see Joseph Reeves, ex-assessor Of
Gallatin county, and found him hale
and hearty and very glad TO see some
one from Montana. He has a very
pretty place at Redlands. John Wark
left to-day for Bozeman, but his fam
lily will stay here until June. l see all
the Bozeman people every few days
Ben Bisel is looking better than / ever
saw him before and he is going to stay
in Los Angeles for some time longer
but the king Bee" is old Father Miles
He looks about Is years younger than
ever saw him before. He was in town
act rCffh David Anderson
and to see him step about on the street
as nimble as a boy would do your heart
good. The old gentleman was hang
ing on to q cigar and taking in the
town in great shape. We have all kinds
of fresh vegetables, ripe tomatoes, etc.
The crop of oranges Is just being
handled and it is a very slightly thing
to go into one of the packing houses
and see the stream of oranges running
down the sorting machine"
The Salvation army at Bozeman re-
ceives it's new appointment of officers
this week. and as they express 1T in
circular distributed to-day, they viii
have three days special CO." begin
ming on Wednesday evening, which is
reception evening, Thursday evening a
musical jubilee and on Friday evening
THE Devil on Trial" Major Fried
rich of Spokane will be in command,
assisted by Adjutant Phillips, Ensign
ner and other officers. No one thought
a year ago that Bozeman could sup
port a Salvation army barracks. believ-
ing that one winter would entirely kill
the organization If IL came here. The
army here however, has never ceased
to grow since the barracks were estab-
lished last September. and this grand
meet. which is to pack the opera house
three evenings of this week can well
be called Jubilee"
The registration office in Bozeman
will be open only three days more and
still, according TO the last city election,
there are now less than one-half of the
voters of the city registered. There is
very little interest being shown in the
coming election, one instance illustrat-
ing this being in the Third ward on
Monday evening, at the republican pri-
maries. There are about 20 republican
voters in that ward, of which number
but 16 were present at the primary.
while i'm the First ward at the demo-
cratic primaries there We're only seven
votes cast, although the total number
of voters in the ward are about 200.
William Webster. the young man
who was brought back from Anaconda
last week TO answer to the charge OF
assault with intent TO kill, had his pre-
Iminary hearing to-day. After hear
ing the states evidence against him,
the defense moved for an acquittal on
the ground that the evidence against
Webster was not sufficiently strong to
warrant his being bound over TO the
district court. and the justice so decid-
ing, Webster was acquitted. He was
Immediately rearrested by the state,
however. and viii BE- given another
hearing. when the county attorney
feels positive that he will be able to
make a very strong case against him.
