THEN, 8 STATE BANKS; NOW, 235

HELENA, Dec. lathe amazing
growth OF Montana's banks In u years
were set forth III an address before
the Commercial club today by State
Bank Examiner ii. $. McGraw.
"Twenty-one years ago." he said,
when the state examiners depart
ment was created. there were nine
banks under his supervision In the
state, with total resources amounting
to $3,420. 900.
"On Nov. II, 1916. there were 245
state banks with resources amounting
to s1O4 900.
"On Nov. 10, 1915, the 235 state
banks showed deposits amounting to
$53,616, 900. and tho same date tho 66
national banks showed deposits Of SAB
go 900. making a total Of $97 526, 900.
November II. 1916 the 245 state
banks showed deposits amounting to
$50 1876, 900 and on tho same date the
rs national banks had deposits esti.
mated at $72.45l 900, or total Of
$l54. .7S6. 900.
| This Is n wonderful showing. con
sidering the fact that all the informa-
tion | have received from the country
banks show that not over so per cent
Of the grain crop has been placed on
the market.
II feel more gratified over the man
ner IN which the Montana bankers
have co-operated with me In tho sup.
preston Of the overdraft than any
other thing that has occurred during
my administration, but all the credit
IL not due to the superintendent OF
banks or tho bankers, for the bust.
ness men surely deserve their share
OF credit, for so readily complying
with the request OF the bankers to cut
out the oyerdraft"

When the detectives were brought
here 1t Is understood that Mayor

with instructions to play no favorites
and to investigate all rooming houses
promising to prosecute In every case

and Little is the result.

perhaps everyone who has violate'

FRIDAY MORNING.

At 10 o'clock Friday morning

a verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree. The jury left the pen
atty to be fixed by the court. The

Soon Agreed.
It is understood that on the first
ballot taken by the jury four stood
for murder in the first degree and
eight for second degree. Between |
and 2 a. m an agreement was reached
and the tired jurors went to bed.
In view OF the fact that the evidence
in this case was wholly circumstan-
tial, coupled with the ably conducted
defense, the state had heavy task
and the result of the trial, which Oc'
cupied four full days, was triumph
for County Attorney Frank Wright
and j. G. HuntOOn.
While the verdict was somewhat
OF a surprise to the defense, young
Fink did not appear much disturbed
