coal oil was kept standing against the
boiler, only few feet from the fur

the solder of the can, causing it to

WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT.
Sreentown, Ind, Has No Mayor, Marshal
Policeman or Peace Officer.
From the Ch.cago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The city of Greentown, Ind. is per-
haps the least governed city of its size in
America. Although it has 5000 inhabi-
tants the town has no mayor, marshal
policeman or other peace officer. not even
a constable The town is governed by "a
board of trustees, who meet once a month
to allow electric light bills, gas water
and other claims. A justice of the peace
residing in the suburbs resigned a few
weeks ago, having no official business.
The city charter provides for no mayor
or policeman, and the duties of mar
shall are performed when required, which
is very seldom, by the street commission
er. A regular marshal was elected a year
ago. but resigned because there was
nothing for him to do. The street COM
missioner was then engaged without any
additional compensation over his salary
as street commissioner. to act as marshal
whenever occasion should require.
The jail was sold years ago for a sta
BILE and there is absolutely no place in
which an arrested person could be con-
fined pending trial. There are three sa-
looms in the place and they do a good
business in beer and ale but sell very
little spirituous liquor. The worst offense
that has occurred in the town in years
is the hilarity consequent upon too lib
eral beer drinking. The offender is never
locked up, nor even fined. He is escorted
home and never fails to go in a quiet and
peaceable manner. The oldest inhabitant
does not remember of an arrest having &C.
CURED in the town. The present street
commissioner, however. denies the soft
impeachment. He says that he did arrest
man once. 1t was for an attempted as
sault that took place in the country. and
when the man was brought up to trial he
| proved his innocence. After all there is

Meantime the fire was spreading with
great rapidity. The Gray Rock people
seeing the fire blew the whistle and the
hose companies from the Bell and Dia-
mond and Green Mountain mines re-
sponded, led by Chief George Lapp of
the Anaconda fire department. BY the
time they had reached the scene, how
ever, and laid 1900 feet of hose from
the nearest hydrant the fire had COM
municated to all the buildings and had
made such great progress among them
that nothing could be saved. All the
firemen could do was to devote their
efforts to protecting the gallows frame
and preventing the fire from reaching
the shaft. This was done and no dam
age resulted to either. While the fire
was in progress the rope burned off and
the cage dropped to the 200 level, where
il caught in the shaft.
The fire burned with terrific fierce
ness and within an hour from
the time it started all the
buildings including the boiler

as the ore bins. were in ashes. While it
is difficult to accurately estimate the
loss, It is thought from $1,000 to 81 900
will cover it.
