[New North-West, May 19, 1882] Julian Knight came to Montana in 1866. He ran a hardware business in Virginia City with Henry Elling. Charles Dahler was a successful Montana pioneer banker and businessman. He opened the banking firm of Hussy, Dahler & Co. in Virginia City, Helena, and Salt Lake City. He became largely interested in the gold mines of Silver Star, and other properties in the Madison County area. He eventually acquired eighteen prosperous mines. Patrick Largey, "Butte's fourth Copper King," was president of the State Savings Bank. In 1898, he was shot and murdered in the bank by miner Thomas Riley. Riley had lost a leg in an 1895 explosion caused by dynamite stored in the warehouses of the Kenyon Connell and Butte Hardware companies, and had blamed Largey for the accident, demanding compensation.
