Bank Suspended. On Tuesday morning last, shortly after the hour of opening, the First National Bank of Bozeman, closed its doors in compliance with a telegram from its President, Geo. W. Fox. of Helena. Upon enquiry, it was ascertained that the People's National Bank of Helena, with which the Bozeman Bank is associated, after dragging along for many months under a heavy financial pressure, yet drawing steadily from the Bozeman Bank its currency and nearly all its available resources, finally collapsed-closed its doors, and, as a consequence, dragged our Bank down with it. But little excitement, apparently, was caused by the suspension. though several depositors were very much inclined to give vent to their just indignation, and probably some serious demonstrations would have been made, but for the calm and timely advice and assurances of Mr. Nelson Story. It is impossible to state positively whether the Bank will be able to resume business or not. We are informed that its liabilities to private depositors are about $67,000-with available assets of, perhaps, $50,000, and there is due from the People's National Bank about $60,000. The private depositors of the Bozeman Bank are generally of the industrial classes-persons of moderate means, several of whom have every dollar they possess deposited there, and should the Bank not be able to resume or pay its indebtedness in full, those who can least afford it will be, comparatively, the heaviest sufferers. The Bank has bcen one of the best paying, or money-making, institutions of the Territory, and nothing but the most reckless management on the part of its President and principal stock-holder could, apparently, have brought about the present cri813.
