MONTANA TOWN RAZED BY FIRE.

Fire destroyed most of Darby, Mont., a town of about 1,000 people, in the Bitter Root valley. The town has no fire department, and the flames, which started in the Tanner Hotel, raged for four hours without interruption. The use of Dynamite is all that save the three remaining buildings. The loss is estimated at $50,000.
