teenth street bridge, at 1 o'clock this
morning. The flames were discovered in
the basement of Nelson's saloon on the
east side of the road, and in a few min

building. The building was entirely de-
stroyed: loss 1000, without insurance.
Only the determined efforts of the peo-
pie living in the settlement prevented
the entire place from being swept out,

There is no water supply and no fire

Great Falls. Aug. 20.-When the popu-

city last month ii was somewhat of a
shock to most of the citizens acquainted
with the gentleman to find that c. f.
Stork of the Red Suite district had evil
IDENTIFY lost some of his former popu-
larity in that populist stronghold, for
after some bitter debate he was I'M
seated as a delegate. Mr.. Stork was in
the city to-day and he announces that
the country is saved again. The other
night the populists of Red Butte organ
lied a club and the struggle for suprem-
acy came 20 the election for presi-
dent. Mr.. Stork was one candidate and
William Steele was his opponent. After
a hard-fought battle Mr.. Stork was
elected by the splendid vote of IL TO 10,
and a number of his supporters were
not present at the meeting, either. Sea-
ford Harmon, secretary, and 5. J. Kin
sey, treasurer, were the other officers.

Boulder, Aug. 19.-The residence of

ware of the fact that burglars were in
the house. They were undoubtedly pro-

hoped the officers will apprehend them.

ONLY LIGHT VOTE CAST
For the Issue of the Water
Bonds, 18o; Against, 81.
IT'S ALL SETTLED NOW
That Is Unless Somebody Takes the Mat
ter Into the Courts, Which Would
Be a Highly Unpopular Proceed
ing at This Stage of Game.

Great Falls, Aug. 20.-The people of
this city to-day decided to buy it's own
water supply, taking the old plant at

and, indeed. but very little interest
was shown, as most everyone thought
the matter settled finally and that
there would be plenty of people on
hand to do the mere act of voting. The
registration was exceedingly light.
only 357 names, and the number Of
voters was still less, only 220. The
vote by wards was as follows: First
ward: For the bonds. AZ; against them,
.. Second ward: For the bonds, 81;
against them s.. Third ward: For the
bonds, Al; against them, 6. Fourth
ward: For the bonds. 75; against them,
is. The total vote was 1S9 for the issue
of bonds and 81 against such issue.
While the bonds are yet to be sold
and much other work done for the
transfer of the property the election
of to-day practically settles the nat
court and heap up legal obstacles in
the way of testing the bonds This
would be a very unpopular thing to do
just at the present time, for the sem
timent of the community is nearly
unanimous in favor of a water supply
owned by the city, and the present pur-
chase meets with almost as equally
unanimous approval.

AN ARTESlAN WELL.
It Discharges s5 Gallons a Minute of Ex-
ceIIent Water.

Great Falls, Aug. 2G.-Teton counts
contains the first genuine actually flow
ing artesian well in Northern Montana.
1T has just been sunk at the ranch of
William Chalmers, II miles north of
Choteau, and the water rises to a
height of IS feet above the surface and
discharges 80 gallons per minute,
enough to irrigate a large area Of land.
At the present time there is only a six
inch pipe tapping the stream, and
through this the water rushes with a
force sufficient to throw out stones as
big as ones fist and other debris. The
water is cold and clear and extremely
potable, and in fact ii closely resem-
bles the best of spring water.
Mr.. Chalmers intends to pipe the flow
TO a point 100 feet or more above his
house and building and then irrigate
and pipe to his place from this reser-
voir. The value of the well may be
realized by the fact that he has just
been offered &c. 900 for his place. which
before the sinking of the well waS
worth hardly one-half of that sum.
Some time & he sold his band Of
sheep with the intention of quitting the
sheep business, but the well has re-
moved the greater part of the difficult
ties attending the industry and he will!
now purchase another band.
From time to time experiments in
artesian wells have been made in the
northern part of Montana, but without
success. One small well at HaVre was
driven. which for a while gave a small
stream of water, but not enough 70
place it in the class of flowing wells.
Should the attempts prove as success
full as that of Mr.. Chalmers the ques-
ton of irrigating the ~benchland farms
will be easily solved.
