EARLY GREAT FALLS

Bonnie Phillips afterwards settled
in the Judith Basin and later had
a county named after him, Phil
lips county. Fire protection in
Great Falls at that time consisted
Of a bucket brigade, and it had
been heralded far and wide, clear
to the Canadian boundary, by
hand-bills distributed by the
stage-coach drivers. that one
George Burlington would after
the foot-race exhibit a fire-ex-
tinguisher which infallibly and
with speed would e%xtinguish any
ordinary confagration.
The day, the hour and the fire
came. A pile of empty boxes was
thrown together near the river
bank and just after the race
George arrived on the scene in a
blackboard bearing himself and a
case of glass bombs. Each bomb
was supposed to contain a quart
of fluid deadly to fires. 1t was
simple, as the hand-bills said,
George was to throw a bomb and
the fire went out. The pile was
duly kindled and when the fire
gained highway George threw
bomb No. l.. The blaze roared
as it struck. Quickly he
threw bomb No. 2. Again the
blaze roared with renewed vigor.
The crowd jeered. George grab
bed and threw the third bomb and
as the flames again flared up, he
burst into tears and was led from
the scene by friends.
AT this late date the secret may
be told. The crate had been stor-
I'd in a shed in anticipation of the
exhibition and on the previous
night some practical jokers had
entered the shed, unscrewed the
ops of the bombs, emptied them
IF their contents, re-filled them
kerosene and screwed the
ops on again.
Later a hose cart was bought

three out of four from the Giants in

Right now is when we need some

schedule and how we finish in the
race may depend on the next week"
Mccarthy now has one regular in

Woody English as the lone surviv-
