Al IL o'clock Tuesda y night, says the
Helena Independent, I'm alarm OF Hire was
from the watch tower and there
was a hurryinR OF many men down Main
street to the corner of Sixth avenue and
Nain, where u volume of smoke was
pouring from the and chimncys
of the third story OF John Hoskey's build
ing. The fire was on the third floor, fac
ing jackson street, and made n brilliant
light. The fire occurred OH Tho northwest
corner of the building where the. water
closets for that floor and n sort of fuel
room exists. There were three windows
ON thc real end of third floor. and from
cks street several men could be seen

water. At that moment an explosion &C.
cured which blew the out and the
entire end OF the building was instantly
filled with a sheet of flame. One of the
men inside who was standing near n win
dow threw himself tn the ground, and for
tunately escaped without serious injury,
although he was severely burned. His
name is b. j. Bangston, and he is n

other man, Henry Menick, n colored po-

and thus saved himself from being badly
burned. But the other men who were at
the head OF the stairway when the cxplo-
sion occurred did not fare SO well. They
were seen to fall to the floor, and several
people rushed up the stairway to render
assistance IL necessary. But they were
met by the fleeing men OH the stairway with
clothing on fire and hair and eyebrows
sinRed. II was at first thought that no
one was seriously hurt, but an investiga-
ton showed that eight people were more
ar less seriously burned. Mr.. Sisson, Il
keeps n cigar and tobacco stand n few
doors above Sixth avenue, was one of the
unfortunates, and in his store was Fred
Scess, badly burned about the face and
hands,. He was moaning pitifully. and
the skin on his fingers was broken and
dropping away. In the Helena pharmacy,
n few doors above, were found Detectives
Walters, Phil Best, and Policeman Mark
Treacy. Mr.. Walters was sitting i'm a
chair, while soothing stimulants were APP
piled to his hands and face. He appeared
to he the worst burned of all. The n.y.
drants gave out good streams of water
after the loss of about ten minutes and it
was not long before the flames were
quenched. The building is a thrcc-story
brick, owned by John Horsky and occu-
pied by Charles Lchman's grocery store;
on the corner adjoining that below IL the
Helena Stcnm Heating and the
Atlantis saloon lodging house, which o.
cupics n greater portion of the second
and third floor. On the third floor i'm
front is the Helena Business college. The
loss appears to have been slight.
