Three Houses Burned.

w This morning about 2 o'clock officer
Morrison discovered small flame issue
ing from house on Mendenhall street,
close to Bozeman creek. He at once
gave the alarm by firing SHOTS into the
the air and at once summoned officer
Trice to his aid. The officers entered
the house and discovered a French wo-
man by the name OF Ollie, who was so
much under the influence of opium as to
be insenslble of her danger and the dis
aster she had wrought. Badly scorched
they carried her out of doors and en-
deavored to save her furniture, but with
out avail. The fire from a small oil
opium lamp had communicated with the
mattress and bed clothes, and from
thence to the wall paper, and in short
time one side of the house was in flames.
A large number of men were soon sum-
moned to the scene by the ringing of
bells, ETC., and the furniture from an ad-
jacent house carried into the street. The
scarcity of water compelled the self-made
firemen to exert their efforts to save the
stable of Clark & Murphy and the house
of Mrs. Rountree's, which were covered
with wet blankets. The house in which
the ire originated belonged to Basinski
Bros, also the vacant one adjoining,
both were consumed The next hOuaa
was owned by Messrs. Hansen & Craig,
it also was burned to the ground.
The total loss we presume, amounts to
about 81, 500, none of the buildings were
insured An effort was made to secure
water from one of the Main street water
reservoirs, but the planks were too firm
ly frozen to be moved by ordinary
means

BOZeman Enterprise.

Our old friend W. H. Tracy has en-
barked in new, and for this country,
novel enterprise, and has now in full
blast large Greenhouse and Conserva-
tory, the building is % by l04 feet, built
of brick in the most substantial manner,
the walls being very thick, with two air
flues, thereby being absolutely secure
from frost it has slanting roof covered
with two thicknesses of the best double
thick plate glass. The building is situa-
ted on Mendenhall street, near Mr..
Tracy's fine residence, several old cabins
having been removed to make room for
the new and more sig Chilly structure. On
the inside, we found growing and look
ing very nice, almost all kinds of vege-
tables and every variety Of flowers
Many Of the vegetables will be ready for
use in short time. Realizing how diff
cult it is for families to preserve and keep
from freezing, valuable plants, Mr.. Tracy
offers to keep plants for any and all of
our citizens free of charge, and deliver
them to the owners in the spring in fine
condition, and says he will be responsible
for them, and will guarantee that the
plants will not be injured by frost while
in his possession. Mr.. Gates has imme-
diate charge of the plants ETC., and seems
to be an expert thoroughly familiar with
the details. Mr.. Tracy says his premises
will be enlarged in the spring, and be
considered one of the important branch
es of his business. We wish you success
