CRACKING BACK. Young Carey Causes the Arrest of Liv. ingston Bank Omelale Special Dispatch to the Standard. LIVINGSTON. July 25.-Another denovement has been made with regard to the suspension of the Livingston National bank and the end is not yet. Yesterday, Frank L. Carey who is out on bail charged with falsifying the bank books, upon complaint of President J. A. Savage, went to Helena with the alleged avowed determination of having several of the bank directors arrested. This afternoon warrants were sworn out before Commissioner Poorman of Livingstou, upon complaint of E. C. Day. assistant United States district attorney, for the arrest of J. A. Savage, A. W. Miles and Alan Maconochie, directors. Messrs. Savage and Miles waived examination and gave $5,000 bonds each to await action of the United States grand jury. The complaint alleges a falsification of the last bank statement made to the comptroller on May 5. 1893, in that it purported to show that the bank had outstanding loans of $149,280 and that there was due from approved reserve agents 86,603. whereas there was only due $207: that the bank had on hand specie currency and legal tender notes of $11,680, whereas there was on hand only $5,670. The defense will probably set forth that the bank's books had been 80 finely falsified by the cashier and his assistants that the directors at the time of the last bank statement were unable to detect anything irregular.

Net indebtedness $126,734 88 IN PARK COUNTY. Livingston's Troubles Began With a Bank Cashier's Raseality Staff Correspondence of the Standard. LIVINGSTON, Aug. 18.-A serious finan. eial misfortune, not in any sense due to the effects of the general erisis, was suffered by Livingston some weeks ago through the defaleation of absconding Cashier George A. Carey of the Livingston National bank. by whose raseality the town suffered a loss of upwards of $100,000. The effect of this was widespread through the community, and was deeply depressing. Confidence in the other banks was not shaken by the occurrence, however, and it is believed that neither of the other two finanetal institutions would have suse pended except for the action taken by the directors of the Gallatin Valley National at Bozeman. The closing of that bank, which was looked upon as the strongest in the eastern part of the state, was a serious blow, and the adverse tide which at once set in could not be stemmed and the Merchants' National suspended. closely followed by the National Park. It is known that the latter will reopen by the 10th of September, and it is probable that the Merchants' will have its affairs adjusted so as to quickly follow. A considerable volume of business in Livingston has always been realized from [Continued on the Eighth Page].

BANK DIRECTORS CENSURED. Seathing Rebuke Administered by the United States Grand Jury. HELENA, Mont., Dec. 2.-The report of the United States grand jury and accompanying indictments made up a mass of nearly 300 typewritten pages. The report consisted almost entirely of condemnation of the methods of directors and officers of the suspended Merchants National bank of Great Falls, the Livingston National of Livingsten and the Stockgrowers National of Miles City. Four more indictments were returned against Will Hanks, as president of the Merchants of Great Falls; others against Henry F. Bachellor, president, C.L. Merril, assistant cashier and C. R.

Carey, the missing cashier, in his transactions by which the bank was wrecked. The report says: "Your grand jurors believe they would be derelict in the discharge of their duty to the court if they failed to visit severe censure upon the directors of these banks. "The grand jurors are of the opinion that the fact of being an officer or director of a national bank ought not S to give any man licence to swindle and e defraud his fellow men.

The Grand Jury's Report. The grand jury was then discharged finally after making their report. In the report they say: "Your grand jury believes that it would be derelict in the discharge of is duty to the court if it failed to visit severe censure upon the directors of the Livingston National bank. the Merchants National bank of Great Falls. and the Stock-Growers' National bank of Miles City. Each of these institu tions has been compelled to close its doors, suspend payments to depositors and cease doing business. Receivers have been appoir ted in each case by the comptroller of the currency owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the banks' resources. The consequence is that de. positors who in good faith have done business with these institutions and have left their money for safe-keeping in full confidence that it would be honestly returned to them with legal interest have been grossly deceived and wronged, their confidence abused, their earnings frittered away in reckless speculation by those in charge. and, in some instances, have, been deliberately swindled by the bank officials out of sums large enough to be considered comfortable fortunes The grand jurors are of the opinion that the fact of being an officer or director of a national bank ought not to give any man license to swindle and defraud his fellow-men. The unfortunate condition of the banks named above and consequent hardship and loss to innocent depositors, as well as prostration of the business community, are, in the opinion of your grand jurors, largely due to the gross and inexeusable neglect of duty and apparent indifference to their oaths as directors so flagrant and resulting in effects grave and injurious alike to in dividuals and the public that it should be distinctly declared to be a crime by the UnitedStates laws. National bank di rectors owe a duty to the United States. to bank depositors, and the business public, and that duty is to faithfully and bonestly oversee and manage the busi

county jail provoked general discussion. The council thought the rate too high, but the sheriff, who was present, stated that it was the same rate that had always been paid, and that he would not board the prisoners for any less sum. The chief of police was then asked how it was that arrests had been so numerous. He replied by stating that it was because of the presence in the city of so many hoboes. Alderman Martin thought the officer should drive the tramps out of the city instead of throwing them in jail. The chief of police said that he knew of no law giving him power to chase tramps with a gun and compel them to leave town. One of the aldermen said hoboes were driven out of other towns, and he didn't see why it could not be done in Livingston. To this the chief replied: "This may be the policy pursued in Bozeman, where they have a vigilante outfit, but there is no warrant in law for it." Upon motion of Thompson, City Treasurer Garnier was instructed to make a demand upon the bondsmen of ex-Treasurer Woods for the sum of $756.50, the amount of his shortage, occasioned by the failure of the Livingston National bank, where a portion of the city funds were on deposit prior to the bank's suspension a year ago. The question of taking the initiative in the arrangements for a Fourth of July celebration in this city was discussed. As it was getting late, however, no steps were taken, and an adjournment was taken until Thursday evening, when a Fourth of July committee will be appointed to act in conjunction with a similar committee to be appointed at a citizens' meeting called for next Saturday.
