The Gallatin Valley National bank ipf
Bo/etnan has applied to the United
States circuit court at Helena for leave
to intervene in the suit brought by
Griggs, Cooper & Co., and a number of
other eastern lirms, against Charles H.
Stebbins, Charles Angus and R. T.
Smith, statutory trustees of the Carver
Mercantile company ; the National Park
bank ; the Montana Investment com
pany ; E. H. Talcott, C. H. Stebbins and
Annie G. Stebbins. The Gallatin Valley
National hank asks to lie allowed to
share in the relief to be generally ac
corded all the creditors of the mercan
tile company. In the application of the
bank it is stated that on Jan. 27, 1891, a
decree was made dissolving the Carver
by
as
is
Mercantile company, and that on Sept, j
8.1890, the company borrowed from the
Bozeman bank 85,000, for which 150
shares of the company were given as col- j
lateral. Tfiis stock is now alleged to be |
worthless because of the dissolution of
tiie company and the misappropriation
of assets. The bank tenders the certifi
cates of stock to the court for whatever
they may be worth. It says that at the
time this debt was contracted the Car
ver Mercantile company possessed 850,
000 worth of real estate and had a store
stocked with 800,000 worth of general
merchandise. At this time Stebbins
held 498 shares of stock in the company.
Charles Angus one share. On Oct. 24, j
1890, Stebbins, Angus and Smith orga- j
niz.ed the Stebbins Mercantile company, j
so it is alleged, for the avowed purpose
of Fucceeding to the business of the Car
ver Mercantile company, with a capital
stock of 850,000, to be held in the same
proportion as they had held stock in the
Carver company. It is charged that
tiiis stock was issued without any con
sidération. The next allegation is that
after the organization of the Stebbins
company the Carver company, by its
trustees, transferred everything to the
so-called Stebbins company, and that
the transfer was a nominal one and
without any consideration, and was
made to hinder and delay the creditors
of the Carver Mercantile company. The
bank says that at that time the Carver
company was indebted in a sum equal or
greater than its assets, and that no pro
vision was made for paying its debts by
the Stebbins company.
It is also alleged that prior to its dis
solution. Dec. 27. 1890, the Carver com
pany conveyed all of its real esate to C.
H. Stebbins, then president and holder
of 498 shares, and that the alleged con
sideration of the transfer was 825,000 ;
and this was never paid. The bAnk
says that on Jan. 24. 1891, Stebbins and
Charles Angus assigned all notes, book ,
accounts, etc., of the value of 815,000, to
tiie National Park bank, belonging to
the Carver Mercantile company, and col
lected about 810,(XX). and that the al
leged consideration of this transfer was
an overdraft for 88.927.41. The bank
alleges that the Carver Mercantile
pany was not indebted to the National j
Park bank and that this was part and j
of a scheme between Stebbins
parcel
and the other bank to convert the assets
of the Carver company to their own
uses. It is also alleged that on Jan. 2(1,
1991, the National Park bank became
the holder of 497 shares of the Stebbins
company and elected D. A. McCaw, its
assistant cashier, president of the com
pany, and another employe named !
Hanche a trustee, and that the two, act
ing as trustees, passed a resolution au
thorizing the execution of a chattel
mortgage to the bank of all the assets of
the Stebbins company to secure the pay
ment of seven promissory notes aggre
gating 858.508.20, and that thereupon
the agents of the bank, as trustees of !
the Stebbins company delivered the
mortgage to the bank which ^lso pro
vided for a 82,000 attorney fee anil con
veyed the entire stock 'in trade and j
everything belonging to the company. ;
and placed its cashier, J. C. Vilas, i„ j
charge. No consideration, it is alleged,
passed^for the shares or notes and that
Stebbins executed the notes to secure
individual debts. It is also alleged that
immediately afterwards Stebbins con
veyed real estate in Livingston to his
father, Charles M. Stebbins, and that j
there was no consideration. Toole &

of Bozeman, represent the Gallatin Val

Edward L. Hallenback, who was tried
and sentenced in this county September
22nd, 1887, for the crime of forgery and
entering u forged check, has been re

tember term of court upon two counts
stated above, to b >th <»f which he en
tered a plea of guilty. He w as sen
tenced to live years Upon the charge of
forgery ami two years for uttering the
forged check. Hallenbeck's sentence,
deducting ihe time allowed for good be
havior, will expire during the present
month, and the action of Governor Toole
simply for the purpose of restoring
him to the rights of citizenship and will
not he opposed by any of the parties in
terested in his punishment at the time
the crime was committed.
