of both houses of the genaral as
sembly today Hanna received
enough assurances to indicate that
he will succeed himself in the sen

B utte , Mont., Jan. 11.—P. A.
Largey, president of the State Sav
ings Bank, and one of the most
prominent citizens of Butte, was
shot and killed in his bank build
ing this afternoon by Thomas J.
Riley. The latter entered the bank
a few minutes before the shooting,
and, calling Mr. Largey to the
cashier’s window, began a conver
sation, which he interrupted sud
denly by drawing a revolver and
shooting the hanker through the
arm.
Mr. Largey dropped under the
counter, and as he attempted to
rise his assailant fired again, the
bullet striking him in the forehead,
and he fell to the floor dead.
Riley’s explanation of the shoot
ing, when overtaken by the officers
in his flight, was:
“He fooled me too long and I
killed him. He kept promising me
work, but did not give me any, and
and I could not stand it any long
er. Now, if you want to hang me
for it, all right.”
