started by ashes knocked from the pipes
Of two Swedes who had passed by short
time before. The trees were SO dry that
three hours after the fire was first discov-
cred 5000 acres of timber had been burn
ed. The Montana Smelter company's
mines sustained great damage, the May
and Edna mlnes' shafts, houses and tun-
nels being totally destroyed, resulting in
loss of at least $4,000. The company
had 80 or 40 men out fighting the flames,
but they were utterly powerless, as the
strong wind swept the confagration be-
fore it SO rapidly that no human effort
could have stopped its career. Had it
not been for two horses seven or eight
men would have been roasted to death.
In some instances the flames leaped gaps
Of 800 feet, catching the tops of the trees
on the opposite side and rushing forward
irresistiblY. The fire started at p. N.
on August 81 and was only extingulshed
by the advent of severe snow storm
about p. m. the same day. The town of
Barker was uninjured, but the Montana
Smelter company lost all its supplies and
buildings.

FOR CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT.
Career of W. Nj. Cockrlll, the Democratic
" Nominee. ~ A

Career of W. M. Cockrlll, the Democratic
Nominee. ]
William M. Cockrill, who was nomin-
ated at the democratic convention for
clerk of the district court, is we'll and fav-
orably known to the people of north Mon
tana He came we'll equipped by study and
experience to aid in building up this
promising young state. In his native
-Kentucky-he was honored with
the office Of county attorney and was
subsequently law partner of Hon. w.
H. Bolts, who was secretary Of state.
When leaving home, the Glasgow (Ky)
Times said: "Mr. w. M. Cockrill leaves
Thursday for Montana, where he goes on
an investigating tour with the intention
of making that territory his home. Mr..
Cockrill was born and reared in Glasgow
and there is sincere regret at his deter
mination to leave the place Of his birth.
He is pushing, energetic and capable
young man and stands in the front rank
of lawyers who practice at this bar. He
takes with MN 10 MS new nome Cne
heartlest best wishes Of a host Of friends"
Mr.. Cockrill has held for nearly two
years the position Of clerk Of the district
court in Cascade county and has made
hosts of friends by his courtesy and effici-
ency. He has been always ready to pro-
mote the interests of Great Falls. At
public demonstrations, such as the wool
growers banquet, where he responded
for "North Montana" he has made tell
ing speeches. In the campaign Of 1883
he worked hard for the democratic ticket,
addressing large meetings throughout
the county. He likewise gave literally
to the campaign fund.
Mr.. Cockrill owns a ranch near town
and is thoroughly identified with the
growth of this city, which is his perma-
nent home. He will discharge with abil
ity and success the duties of the respon
sible position to which he is about to be
elected.

No Bolting Tolerated-What True Dem

No Boiling Tolerated-what True Dem
ocrat Says.
Editor of TRIBUNE: l was surprised
and panied to see in your paper the an.
nouncement Of Jno. P. Dyas as an indie
pendent candidate. l attended the coun-
ty convention and know it was fair and
square. l thought when Dyas and Cock
rill allowed the use of their names that
they agreed tacitly, at least, to support
the nominees, whoever they might be.
Now Dyas is an old neighbor Of mine
and lie had many friends in this valley
who wanted to see him nominated, but
when they saw that the majority was
against him, they acquiesced in the de-
cision of that majority. They supposed
that their candidate would also have
principle enough to make the same de.
cision. But he has thought fit to bolt the
convention. What will be the result?
His friends will forsake Kim; they will
see that in the very act Of boiling he shows
himself lacking IN those characteristics
which would entitle him to respect and
confidence, and they will refuse to sup
port him. They see that he is bent or
"rule or ruin" and, being fair-minded
men, will reprimand his obstinacy with
the ballot. He has ruined himself politi-
cally for all time to come. He shows
lack of judgment; for any man of sense
knows there is no hope for his election,
and 1t looks like he is jeopardizing the
ticket simply to appease his own spite
and assist in the election of Judge Race
We, his old neighbors, know defeat was
hard, but it is to be expected in all politi-
cal races, and we desired our candidate
to take is defeat like a man. He has
shown n..nself to be anything for office
and we refuse to support such person
The democrats of Chestnut valley, on
both sides of the river, will give Cockril
their solid support. ia.
