VOY BANK DEPOSITORS 100
CENTS ON DOLLAR.

Frank Browne, who is receiver
of a number Cf defmct national

ministering the affairs of the
First National bank Of Savoy and
is now putting out the first divi-
dend checks to creditors.
The checks are for 100 per
cent of deposits with interest at
8 per cent from the date the
bank closed, January 2, 1925, to
July 2, 1925, the date of the divi-

the only state or national bank,
which has failed in Montana, to

OITT NINE -MINUTES

The case was given to the jury at
11:2O, a verdict being returned in nine
minutes, after counsel had agreed to
waive arguments. A short statement
was made to the jury by Clarence
Darrow of defense counsel in which
he said 'I don't see how you can find
our client guilty" He explained that
the evidence upon which the defense
had hoped to bring about the acquittaI
Of Scopes had been excluded by the.
court and it was the wish of the de-
fense that a verdict of guilty be re-
turned to permit an appeal to the SUI
preme court.
In a protracted trial, during which
there were frequent clashes between
counsel for the defense and the judge
and prosecuting lawyers the evidence
of the array of professors, clergymen
and scientists brought to Dayton to
testify for the defense was ruled out
by the court. At one time the judge
committed Clarence Darrow for con-
tempt but feeling sheepish reversed
himself.

CRESAP GETS IN
THROUGH FLUKE

The resignation of the reactionary
Cresap came after a long discussion
in which he was grilled mercilessly by
members of the Board of Directors
elected at the annual meeting for the
express purpose of ridding the Wheat
Growers of this Anti-Farmer lackey
of the powers that prey. The Cresap
gang was decisively defeated by the
corrosive farmers at the last an
nual election but Cresap was placed
AGAIN in the presidents chair by the
detection of McAffee, a Dixon follow
er from Flathead, who was elected on
the Board of Directors by the pro
gressives. After he got to Lewis
town. he swung in with the Cresap
crowd and helped to defeat the IN
tentions eff the people who elected
/ him. -.
He acted as a CHARACTERISTIC follow
or of the Ex-Governor. All Dixonltes
seem to desert the progressive move
