ALL TROUBLE IS OVER Run on State Savings Bank Is Very Quickly Ended. MANY OFFERS OFHELP Bankers in New York and Omaha Ready With Money. WIRE TO BUTTE MEN No Sign of Yesterday's Flurry Was in Sight Today. J. O. Hodgens, assistant cashier of the State Savings bank and now in charge of that institution, and Judge G. W. Stapleton, vice-president of the bank, made the following statement this morning: "Please publish in the Inter Mountain this evening our unqualified denial of the rumors that have been afloat that the Amalgamated Copper company or any of its interests had anything to do with starting the run on our bank. These stories are among those put in circulation by some designing or irresponsible persons, and no doubt had their effect in frightening depositors. So far from these stories being true, we have every reason to know that they are baseless fabrications. The officers and the institutions allied with the Amalgamated Copper company were the first to tender their services. The action of Mr. HennesSV of Mr. Ryan, of Mr. Wood, of Mr. Carroll and others is ample evidence that their desire was to protect and help rather than injure us. In this connection we want to testify our appreciation of the splendid manner in which the financial and commercial interests of Butte have stood by us. It was a remarkable exhibition of friendliness and one which we appreciate fully."
