REGARDING FISH.
An Acl for the Better Protection Of
Fish In the Streams OF
Montana.

BE It enacted By the Legislature assembly Of
the Territory Of Montana;
SECTION 1. That all persons having in
operation, and all persons who may
hereafter construct and put in operation
in the Territory of Montana, either in
person or by agent any saw mill ON any
stream containing fish, are hereby re-
quired to so care for any saw-dust that
may eminate from any such saw mill, or
saw mills, as to prevent the same from
mingling with the waters of any such
stream and all persons owning, operat
ing. or who may hereafter own, construct
or operate any saw mill on any stream
containing fish, who shall drop, dumpor
east or cause to he deposited in such
stream and such quantity Of saw-dust,
bark or debris, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof before any court of competent
jurisdiction, shall be fined in any sum
not exceeding fifty dollars for each and
every offence.
SEC, 2, This act shall take effect and be
in force from and after its passage.
Parties owning or operating saw mills
will take notice that it is now unlawful
to allow any saw-dust to escape from
their mills, so that the same mingle with
the water of any stream. This act was
passed at the last session of the legisla-
ture, and was intended to protect the
streams of Montana from that great de-
stroyer of the finny tribe, saw-dust The
Gallatin County Rod and Gun Club will
use every effort to see that the law is
observed, and see that it is inforced to
the letter. It is to be hoped that mill
owners will care for saw-dust at once.

nISAsTROUs FIRES.
Billings and Livingston Visited By the
Fire FIend.

A Especial to the cHRoSIcLE informs W
that disastrous fire occurred in Living
ston Saturday night. burning to ashes
the Livingston house near the depot and
three other buildings adjoining. Luck
lily an unusual calm prevailed or the
whole town would have been consumed.
The firemen worked manfully hut failed
10 save any Of the property until brick
building was reached The origin of the
fire Is supposed to be traeeable to de-
fective fine in the Livingston or Holland
| hotel
About the same time Billings was Wis
tied by fire which destroyed the most
compact and important business block in
that town, known block Ill, one of
which such hard fight was made for
location in the early days of that magic
city" The burned block is on the left
side Of the track going east and con-
tanned, on the corner Stebben, Post &
Minds bank, next door Tully 4 Freezes
hardware store, large millinery store,
farmers hotel, Lestly, Bates Insurance
c)mpany's building and the entire type
and printing outfit of the Billings pap
ers, lately consolidated. The entire loss
is estimated at $4,000. This makes the
second serious fire Billings has had dur
ing the past year, the former resulting
in the erection of more substantial build
ings proved a benefit finally, and as
nearly every one has been induced TO in
sure their buildings in a st. Paul COM
pany, the latter may perhaps be an
advantage ultimately. Billings and Liv-
ingston were both hastily and carlessly
built of pine and have no fire companies
or water.
AND STILL ANOTHER.
On Tuesday the telegraph informs us
that an entire block on Main street.
Miles City was consumed by fire the
night before. The handsome store of
Basinski Bros, large drug store, the
post Office and several other places of
business were totally consumed Basin
ski Bros have twice been burned out,
and carried $4,000 or $1,000 worth of in
surance.
LATER ABOUT THE BILLINGS FIRE.
The first copy of the daily Gazette, of
Billings, publishes an account of the fire
and arrived last evening. Mr. j. W. |
Cobb, proprietor of the Rustler, was in
bed at ii o'clock when the fire started |
and was seriously burned. He hung to
the second story window until rescued.
The flames spread to the Rustler build
ing, to which five hours before the type
and machinery of the Post and Herald |
had been removed.
The loss will aggregate about 100000,
divided as follows:
First National bank-Building, $500; |
furniture and fixtures, 81 800 Insurance,
81, 500.
Tully & Freese-Loss on building and
stock, $4,000; insurance, 5000

Lesley Bates-Building and furniture
of insurance agency $500; insurance,
$500
II. H. Mund also losses $1,000 on Ca
zette building. Nearly everyone was
fully insured. Nothing is said regarding
the origin of the fire, which was first dis
covered in the hotel building.
