COUNTIES PUT
In LINE WITH
COURT ORDER
To Be Held Responsible for Trust
Funds Lost In Failed Banks.

A mandate of the Montana supreme
court to the effect that the respective
counties are responsible to all trust
and agency funds such as school OF
estate money, for losses incurred thru
suspension of banks should be put in
to practice Immediately, according to
a communication received Saturday
by the county board of commissioners
from R. N. Hawkins, assistant state
examiner. The decision of the su-
preme court does not affect Cascade
county, as the trust and agency funds
have been fully paid for losses result
ing from bank failures.
In a majority of the counties, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hawkins, there are
public funds held in closed banks that
have not been accounted for to the
various counties. This condition, he
states, has existed in Montana in a
more or less degree from the effects

Williston, N. D.-J. ]. O'Donnell,
who has been buying hides in north
eastern Montana for the Williston
Hide and Fur company, is in the hos

any account of himself or to tell
where he had come from but was lat
er identified by some, who had seen
him on buying trips.
O'Donnell, whose home is at Hell

Williston firm for three months. Re
ports from Scobey indicate he may
