At about twenty minutes past ighlb o'clock 16t night the rapid discharge of firearms gave the unwelcome slgnal of a fIr and the crowd that qulokly illed the treet wasee directed by the brirbt light to the violnity of the Mae. queen house. At first the word was pased from mouth to mouth that the scene of disaster was that popular boe telry, but it was quickly asoertained to be a falee rumor and the blese was located In the dwelling house nearly opposite the Maequeen and ocoupied by MIs Connie Hoffman. Owing to the fact that Miss Hoffman was not at home at the tame sad the bouse a. tIrely deserted, t was Impossible to as certain tbhorllgt of the fire. When first noticed the flames were brasklnu through one of the front windows of the house and the wbole interior was ablas .and in no lonredibly bshort space of time the whole house inside and outside wee wrapped in fames, and no attempt at saving any of the contents was posslbie. Several hun- dred spectators were qulokly on the ground, but ln the absence of even the rudeet means of fighting the fre they had to remain spectators until Messrs. Dallahan and Bill, of the Maoqueea, sad the depot fore, emblned their so p plies of ho), masking sbout W8 feet, whibeb was quikly atteebed to tihe steam pump at the Macquesn and at 8:40 a water supply was savailable. At first owing to the steam being low, the force re not great, and the water was only available for wetting down the pile of bay and manur adjacesot to the adjoinnlag barn which bhad by that time commeneed to give indlca ions oft gnition. Meanwhile the building immedaltely adjoining the Homnan residence and known as the "Ist Chioes" saloon, was blusing merrily on the •o Wide and a tbis was the irt of a compect row of famoes it began to look as If the fre wae to be illespreed. By this time, however, steam bhd run up la the Maqueens house boilers and the pump wr throwing a gnod stream of water. This am quickly directed oo tsh "Last Chases" bullding and in lea than ten mnutes the Are was under control, the buildig where It origin- ated having by this time IMilen in and beesme harmless as a means of oom mualoatlog fre to say of the ar- rounding ouhboune or buildings. O•esplieots la their *efms to fight the Are were Larry Kendall, W. K. Smith, J. C. Callahan, Harry Bill, F. U. Judd, Pron. aohd ad many bthers bhose nm ee redid not learn, lcludiun a oolored oow boy whoe sturdy efforts were productive of much good. The *Last (Cbace" bullding was unoocu- pled but used u a storage room for a saloon oulft owned by Al Kennedy. Tbls property wa removed without damage other than that reeived in handling, but the building itelf to be- yond the power of repair, though still standing. The bouse occupied oy Mis Hoffman wo owned by Lieut. Wainwright, of the First navalry, *d war lsuree for $50. Min Hofdlm lost everything she posen ed in the way of furniture, jewelry and wearlng apparel, the value of which in the g- regate is estimated by sooeervptive judges to be between $4 000 and 5,000, on which she had an Insurasee of $2,450. Levi 81mpson, who owned the building next adjoiing the "Last Cbance," whlch was damaged to som degree, was lared for $800. Had it not been for the proapt n eM of he Maoqueen hose people and the fare at the depot In getnl out ieir base there le o tOi*tg to what eixtnt Ih re might have spread.

Even the fact of being able to conquer as it was conquered was a happy acoident, at- tributole solely to the fire being I sloe. proximity to the Macqueen bouse, for in no othebr ;,oality would this adventitious aid be practicable. Elsewhere in the city we are utterly powerless and will so remain as long s a penny wise and pound foolish policy controls our property owners. Wholly at the mercy of this devastat- ing element that has heretofore spared our more costly and pretentious edl- foes, we shall wake up some morning to find some one of our handsome brick blocks in ruins with a lose en- talled on the owner and occupants that would have paid their petty pro- portion of the coest of a competent water system for all time. There are some public charges t i be classed as legitimate expon every tax- payer, and first and I net among thebe is the maintenanoe of an ade quate water system. Until we have this Miles City will always be a one- horse town, and our neighbors who are enterprising enough to move to- ward seourity in this matter will reap benefite that justly belong to us. The very humillating spectacle of several hundred able-bodied men looklng on at the fire last night and not being able to raise a finger to sucessfully oontest its advance, may awaken a de. sire for some means of fire proteetion in the future. We hope so, but we doubt It. WAR IN DAKOTA. Th Qoevermor's mWd Deosade" By -he BsaAsci, Dak.. Feb. 10.--I his mesge to the hose of represets. eves Gov.
