The FAIR.-our Fair is over,
having closed on Friday evening.
It was a good Fair, and largely at
tended, and the weather was ali
that could be desired, except that
it was little too warm and dusty.
Il was a pity that tho track could
not have been kept sprinkled. The
racing in all classes was particular
y good, but the most exciting races
Of the Fair was the running races,
and the free.for all trot. In the
former, Bold Hardy took all the
races with ease, and in the latter,
Marquette was the winner, as usual.
The Floral Hall was filed with
nice needle work and paintings,
besides a splendid display Of wines,
preserves. jellies, canned goods,
bread, cakes, &C. The display was
never better in this Hall than it
was this year. The stock show, in
horses. cattle. sheep and hogs, was
up to the average of former years,
except that there seemed to be a
great improvement in horses during
the past few years. The display Of
agricultural implements was rather
limited. But taken altogether the
Fair was fully up to its former good
reputation. and during the four
days not fight or disturbance of
any kind occurred to mar the pleas
ures Of the visitors to the Fair.

TIE FIRE on 81 NDNy.
l Defective Chimney Causes the Dcs,rur
ton of n Building.

non III ~ bhIIuihs.
About : o'clock Sunday morning the
brick veneered building, corner of First
avenue south and Second street, occupied
by W. j. Casey as Il saloon and club
room. was discovered to be on fire. The
fire department was promptly on hand
and 10y heroic work confined the flames
to the ono building. The fire no doubt
had been burning for some time before
discovery and had gained considerable
Roadway, but the tircmen Don had three
streams Of water playing upon the
lanes and succeeded in checking them.
The weather was insensoly cold and the
iircmen had to work under great disad-
vantage on account of the dense smoke
and steam from the flames inside the
brick walls, but Notwithstanding all
this, they fought the tire iiend nobly.
For awhile it looked as if the whole
row OF buildings in the block would be
burned. but the mastery work of the
brave iiremen prevented the spread of
the flames. The adjoining building on
FIRST avenue was damaged by water
only.
Casey's saloon on the first floor was
badly dcmoralized by water and smoke.
and the club room up stairs was com
pletely dcstroyed-vcry little Of the
furniture and fixtures being saved.
The tire is supposed to have originated
from Il defective chimney in the second
story. There is nothing left of the
building but the brick walls.

MORSE THIEVES CAPTURED.
Thi ole u Span of Horses in Minnesota
and sold Them.

ana sold Them.
On the Goth of January Sheriff Hamil-
ton received a telegram from Minneapo-
lis requesting him to arrest two young
men named Charles and j. Layman. The
dispatch gave a description of them and
said that they should have arrived in
Great Falls about the 10Th, as they had
bought tickets at st. Cloud, Mimi, on
the 18th for this city. They had stolen
a span of horses on the night of the 10Th
Of January at the Minnesota transfer,
near st. Paul.
Sheriff Hamilton turned the matter
over to Marshal Treat, who was not long
in getting on their trail and succeeded
in capturing them both. They rave
their names as Charles Eschbach and
w. g.. kneer to the marshal and denied
having ever stolen horses or committing
any other crime, but the marshal was
confident he had the right men and
locked them up last Saturday and tele-
graphed to Minneapolis that he had cap
tuTcd the birds. The officer will arrive
ON Thursday with rcquisition papers and
take them back for trial in Ramsey
county.
Several days Z Charles Eschbach
was arrested by the police On suspicion
Of being connected with a robbery in
this city, but there was not evidence
enough to hold him and he was dis
charged. He and his pard are now in
Il fair way TO spend IA few years il the
Minnesota ~penitcntiary. Marshal Treat
q his police force are hard to beat
when they once strike the trail Of Il vio-
!ator Of the law and they are deserving
81 praise for making this capture.

icam and wagon IN to the ice near Her

were swept under the ice and drowned,
the fourth one managed to get out on

also saved. In the scuillc the horses be-
came unhitcLed from the wagon. The
men narrowly escaped Il watery grave.
They had driven on the ice recently
formed where the ice harvestors had
taken off a crop and the snow SO covered
it that its DANGEROUS condition was not
discovered until too late to prevent the
accident. The horses drowned were
valuable ones
