The most interesting topic of conver-
sation in Helena at present is the forth
coming encampment of the Montana
militia. $1,000 for tents was quickly
raised by the Helena people, and Gen.
Curtis informs us that double the amount
could have been raised. Gen. Turner
also informs us that Capt. COBB of the
Gallatin Valley Guards would receive
official notification to attend with his
company on the Goth of August and that
it would be left to his own judgment
whether or not horses would be brought.
If they were, transportation from Boze
man would be furnished. The necessary
accoutrements will be furnished by the
government in time for the encampment,
The companies will camp at the fair
grounds and will be in attendance three
days.

A BIG BLAZE.
The Stable and House of A. A. Hawks
Go up in Smoke.
JULIUS MENDELsoHN,

A column of dense black smoke was
seen issuing from the large stable of A.
A. Hawks On Monday morning about
eight O'Clock and before the fire machines
could be brought TO the ground blaze
was issuing from the roof. The building
was locked, and as Mr.. Hawks had
gone to the country some hours before
an admission could not be gained. Luck
lily the horses usually kept there had
been let ont in the morning, with the
exception of one which was in the cor
raj and was released before the flames
reached it. The building soon burned to
the ground and set fire to one room
building used by Mr.. Hawks as sleep
ing room few feet away. 1t was evid-
ent that the fire was ignited in the hay
of the upper floor, for when it was dis
covered the whole inside of the building
up stairs was in flames. 1t is evident
too that it had been going about hall
hour.
Mr.. Hawks losses in all about twenty.
one hundred dollars worth of property
including the building, which was insur-
ed for 5000. Several sets of harness and
horse goods occupied the lower fioors
and as there was nothing saved from the
large building Mr.. Hawks losses are
very heavy.
All attempts to get at the origin of the
fire have failed, so far. Mr.. Hawkes.
very rarely smokes, and did not on the
morning in question so the rumor that
1t caught from his pipe ls groundless
He says that tramps sometimes get into
the building before he closes at night
but had one been in the stable during
the night previous to the fire and set il
afire. it is not possible that it twould have
smouldered so long before breaking into
flames. 1t is hardly possible that it was
Intentionally set afire, either, for fire
bug would have chosen night to have
done his work.
