FIRE MxETING.-On Wednesday nigh,
there was a meeting OF che citizens OF Boze
man to take steps to protect property agains
IRE, Ie was well attended, and a good lea
OF interest manifested. Gen. Wilson made
very interesting report OF an Investigation
or the condition Of most OF the houses on
Main street, whict showed that Bozemar
was IN lmmincat danger from defective fues
and chimneys. The examination Of the com
mittee of which Ire was Chairman was very
Thorough. The meeting appointed good
COMMITTEE TO notify parties to make the neees-
sary repairs on their premises, and to enforce
the performance of the duty. The power by
law exists 70 have this done, and a failure to
comply with the proper requirements of the
committee will subject the party to q fine and
damages. Bntw believe that IL will only be
necessary to infoxm citizens Of the danger to
insure speedy rectiiication OF all things
whereby fire might break out. We earnestly
appeal to the people OF Bozeman to act In
harmony with this committee, and save the
town from destruction by fire.
There was also committee appointed to
walt citizens with view OF having the
debris about premises removed, so as TO put
the town in good sanitary condition. In all
these efforts every householder should coop
crate. We are gratified that our people have
become interested In such important meas
nres for the improvement and preservation
OF the place. and trust those engaged in it |
will rot lei un until the good work is fu ly /
and thoroughly completed.

FATAL ACcIDENT.--An old Yellowstone
fisherman, known as Uncle Billy" met
with fatal accident few days since, while
returning from this place to the Yellowstone.
He left Quinn's ranch about O'Clock p. m.
Monday. and when on the mountain about
three miles from Quinn's iseis ysupposed that
his horses ran away. throwing him On the
tongue of the wagon. He was found Tues
day morning horribly managled, having laid
out all that night, an extremely cold one, u
that condition, and conveyed TO the Mission,
where he died Thursday morning. His prin-
cipal injuries were about the head. and his
clothing was considerably torn. II Is thought
he was dragged some distance and kicked BY
the horses. The horses succeeded 10 detach-
ing themselves from the wagon, which they
lett on the mountain Ia q damaged condition,
and made their way into the valley below.

TERRITORIAL FAIR.-The Fourth A nnual
Territorial Fair commences on Monday next;
the Goth. We have every rceson to believe
that this will be the best aad most attractive
fair ever before held in the Territory. Cur
stock has been materially improved since the
last annual exhibition, cereals have become
better adapted to our soil and climate, and,
while Che number Of ores cultivated may
not be as great as last year. the productions
will he of a superior character. The racing
will be decidedly better than therefore,. Sew
cral fast horses will make their first races In
Montana at the fair.

DErARTURE.-We regret to state that Col
c. A. Bigler is about to depart for the East
He has been In Montana for over year, dur.
ing which time he has flied a position at Fort
Ellis, that Of all OTHERS, has brought him In
direct contact with our farmers and men OF
business. We speak advised1y when we say
that no person at any time connected with
the post of Fort Ellis has made NOR. sincere
friends in Gallatiii county, nor earned bet
ter reputation fer integrity, asfablity and
everything that u gentlemanly. than has the
subject of this notice. We hoped to have
him settle In our naidst, and when he pur-
chased that beautiful property In the s'Isouse
Addition" we felt certain of retaining him
here. But we judge that he contemplates re-
turning ultimately as he continues to hold
this property. He also retains his interest In
the Cherry Creek Mines, and has been one of
the most active In seeking to develop that
district. He was one of the founders OF the
Young Mems Association In this city, and
contributed largely to it's success as chairman
OF the Executive Committee. II was mainly
through his efforts that the splendid Base
Ball Club at Fort Ellis, Of which he is Presi-
dent, was organized and uniformed. He goes
over to Helena with the Club to look after
the interests OF the ''Red Stocking boysi In
the grand tournament In which they parsici-
pate. We learn that he goes from there to
st. Paul, Minnesota, where he formerly lived,
but do not know whether 1t is his purpose to
re main there or not. We wish him success
wherever he goes, and do assure him that he |
will always be kindly remembered in Boze-
man and throughout the length and breadth
of Gallatin county. s.s ygs

WATCH OUT FOR THEM.-lt seems that fall

thieves IN Bozeman. 1t is certainly fact that
they commence their depredations about this
time every year. Two rather remarkable in
stances have occurred within the past few
days. Some one who had wagon with only
three wheels broke into Col Blacks. corral

knew that they were in the very midst Of
