TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK BANK MUST HONOR CHECK HELD DAY FAILURE TO RETURN PAPER IN 24 HOURS MAKES BANK RESPONSIBLE Right-of-Way for Highway Granted to Pondera County by Land Board; Hubbard Ordered Returned to State by Governor Erickson (By Our Helena Correspondent.) Failure of a bank to return a check it does not wish to honor, within 24 hours of the receipt of check, places the bank in the position of having accepted the same, under the Montana statute, according to the interpretation placed upon the act by the supreme court in affirming the judgment of the district court of Lewis and Clarke county in favor of the defendant in the case of the receiver of the Home State bank of Manhattan, against the National bank of Montana, Helena. The receiver has brought suit to recover the sum of $174.15 drawn upon the Home State bank by the people's Store of Manhattan, payable to the Davidson Grocery company of Butte.
