MADE ASPLEND|O RECORD
Northwestern Bank Pays 06 Per
Cent of It's Indebtedness
WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR
1t Makes . Remarkable Record of Excel
lent Management for the Receiver.
The Next Dividend vii
Be slo6.ooo.

Great Falls. May 15.-This morning
James T. Stanford, receiver Of the
Northwestern National bank. received a
letter from the comptroller of the cur
rency authorizing him to declare a divi-
dend Of Is per cent. to creditors Of the
bank. Mr.. Stanford had hoped to re-
ceive this authority earlier. as Saturday
evening closed the first year Of the re-
ownership, and he wished that the rec
ord would show that the bank a paid
% per cent of it's Indebtedness during
that time. OF course II makes no diff
ference in fact, as through the honor
able action of Conrad Brothers, all who
had claims against the bank have re-
ceived their par value long since, but
the receiver as a matter of pride would
have beer glad to have had this last
dividend fall within the first year of his
administration of the banks affairs.
Practically the bank has paid IS per
cent. Of its Indebtedness during the past
year, as Mr.. Stanford had the schedules
prepared and forwarded on May 3 and
has since been waiting for action by the
comptroller.
This is a remarkable record prob
ably the first time in Montana in which
a banking institution of the size Of the
Northwestern bank has gone into the
hands of a receiver and at the same
time been so nearly solvent that Its
creditors received their money back in
the first year. 1t shows that in spite
OF the attempt of the cashier, ID. b
Hatcher. to loot the institution, its at
fairs were in such excellent shape 9th
erwise that II could not be badly dis
abled even by such an act. That the
receiver has been able to realize SC
much cash on the bank's assets is part
ly due to his thorough business capacity
and his Intimate knowledge of the
banks transactions in the past ano
partly due to the fact that he has acted
right along since the first in perfect har-
mony with Conrad Brothers and witt
others interested in the bank. The
amount of money to be paid out is a
trile over s105, 900, and the checks viii
be ready in a short time, as the sched'
ules are already at Washington.

Twenty Thousand Regulars on the Way to the
 Islands.
Points of EmbarkatiOn and Land ing Carefully Guarded by
 the Authorities.

1 discussion had covered the entire range of naval and military operations, with a particular view to the active move ments about to begin. General Miles brought with him a memorandum showing the exact disposition of the various points throughout the country, with the number of men at Tampa and other Southern points ready for em- barkation. He also made known that at 1 o'clock this morning immediately ! following the receipt of definite infor- nation of the presence of the Spanish | fleet at Santiago, he had gone to the 1 War Department and had issued teIe- graphic orders putting the troops in motion and thus starting the forward movement of the military arm of the service. Further than this, those at tending the conference would not dis cuss their plans.
 that the chief reliance would be placed at the outset on the United States regulars, most of whom are centered in Florida, and in such volunteer regi- ments as are thoroughly equipped and reasonably well seasoLed for service Although the officials will not state how many troops are available for ac- tive service, 1t is roughly estimated that there are about 10000 regulars and 13, 000 volunteers at Tampa. These include seventeen regiments of regular infantry and fourteen regiments of volunteer infantry, twelve battalions of artillery and five regiments of the regular cavalry. The infantry force, regular and volunteer, is about 5000 men, the cavalry about 4000, the artil- lery about 1900. How many of these have been or will be dispatched to any given point or to several points is not disclosed as that Is a part of the secret ,s,rwz Alc,,e 1<.h
 Back of this force are other avail able regiments at Mobile, New Orleans and other points easily accessible to Tampa. Still farther back is the large volunteer camp at Chickamauga, com prising about 10000 infantry vol unteers, 1000 cavalry volunteers and three regiments of artillery volun- teers. It is understood to be the plan although as to this there is no precise official statement-to have the troops at Chickamauga take the place of those at Florida ports as fast as the latter leave for active service, thus keeping a large force always ready for authorization from Florida.
 Aside from the troops already speci- fled, there are 1S,000 men at Camp AL ger, near Washington, and lesser bodies of troops on Long Island and in vari- Qus States. The 75,00o volunteers un- der the recently issued second call con- stitute still another reserve, which, however, is yet to be organized and equipped.
 General Miles will not state where his headquarters will be located. and, indeed, 1t is probable he will move from place to place as circumstances demand.
 General Shafter will be in immediate command of the forces now embarking, while General Miles will have general supervision of this and all military movements

BARRY AND LEON FIGHT
 A TWENTY-R0UND DRAW
Little to Choose Between the TWO Boxers After Scientific
 Contest

NEW YORK, May 3o.-Jimmy Barry and Casper Leon met at the Lenox Attn letic Club tonight for twenty-round contest for the bantam championship of the world. and after they had fought twenty rounds, which were productive of most scientific work by both boys, the referee. Johnny White of this city, called In draw. There was little to choose be- tween the boxers at the finish. Barry was a big favorite at ? to l. but the money was lost on the result. Several bets were made at odds on that Leon would not stand six rounds. The New Yorkers who snapped these up were the only winners during the night.
 Barry weighed 109 pounds and Leon 1O6. Johnny White of this city was mutually agreed upon to referee the bout
 The mil was lively from the beginning, Barry rushing the fighting. but having

no material advantage. In fact. the ex- changes were about evenly divided, and no really telling blows were struck up to the thirteenth round. In the thirteenth. Barry did some wild fighting, and Leon landed a stinging left on his nose, which started the blood. Leon ended the round with a hard right swing on Barrys neck. The fourteenth round was also In Leon s favor. In the fifteenth, during a clinch, Barry landed his left on Casper's ear, but the referee said nothing. In the six teenth Leon iabbed a hard left on the face without a return. Leon landed left and right and put hard right hook on Barry's jaw and a rib jab over the heart
 In the seventeenth Casper iabbed his right on the wind which made Barry grunt. Barry uppercut him. Leon jabbed left on face as the gong sounded.
 Round IS was without advantage to either man, and in the nineteenth Barry rushed again but gained nothing by it. Leon was bleeding from the nose at the end of the round. but Barry looked the weaker of the two. In the closing round, Leon landed the left on the face and Barry clinched. At close quarters they exchanged rights and lefts on the head repeatedly and each landed two hard ones on the face.
 The decision was popular with the spec tatorS.

Let the United States weary of the war and disgust Europe by pro- longing the struggle say these tacti- clans.
