The new fire engine was brought up,
Sunday, from the Marias, by Foreman
Fowler, of the engine company, and has
stables, where it was admired by ume
Gus citizens yesterday. It is certainly a
handsome piece of machinery, n will
doubtless do effective service whenever
an emergency arises. The engine is
named "Choteau, No. l." and ''those
who run may read" this legend in gilt
letters on the engine. The company in
charge is composed Of good men, with
excellent officers, and is certain to do
good work. Tomorrow they will get
the engine out and drill for the first
time. -
