Testimony during the four-day trial showed the city had required Coast-to-Coast owner Benjamin Brown to install a basement sprinkler system as part of a building remodeling permit. Brown never installed the system and the city granted permits allowing Brown's business tenants to occupy building. Brown was originally a defendant in the suit, but was dropped after settling out with a number of Horsky and Coast to Coast tenants by turning over to them $100,000 in insurance money.

The money has yet to be divided among tenants. Emmons said the Coast-toCoast building pre-dated building codes and that a grandfather clause prohibited the city from compelling sprinkler installation. The building code contains no time limit for the installation and, in any event, the city had to rely on Brown to complete the work, even if the system was legally required. An arsonist, who an expert witness said was wise in the ways of fire, used available debris the night of June 17 to light a blaze beneath a basement stairwell after erecting a barrier of criss-crossed pipes and sheet rock across the basement's front entrance. The barrier kept firemen from reaching and extinguishing the blaze, which simmered undetected for as long as 40 minutes and later burned out of control.

Morrison contended the fire wouldn't have destroyed the building had the city upheld its duty to make sure the basement fire sprinklers were installed. He said firemen didn't begin effectively fighting the blaze until 30 to 40-minutes after they had arrived at the scene. "That was the problem out there that night," he said. "There wasn't anybody out there in charge who had a plan." After three days of testimony, the jury Thursday was read an hour's worth of instructions by visiting judge Mark Sullivan, of Butte, including definitions of negligence, damages and causal connection. Helena's firemen feel vindicated by verdict By TAD BROOKS IR Staff Writer A jury verdict absolving the city of responsibility for the Horsky Block fire is a vindication for city firemen.

time you risk your life to do your job and they accuse you, of being negligent it kind of bothers you," said Helena Fire Chief Norman Gray. Gray said the June 17, 1980 fire has been weighing heavily on firemens' minds since the filing of a $424,647 negligence suit. "I didn't think there was any reason for the lawsuit," Gray said. "But I'm happy it's over." Trial testimony showed the fire was set beneath a basement stairwell in the rear of the old Coast to Coast building at Sixth and Main streets. It burned undetected for some 40 minutes and was consuming floor joists when firemen arrived.

Fueled by a draft rising up the rear stairwell, the intense heat and smoke prevented firemen from fighting the blaze in that direction and a decision was made to attack the blaze from the front basement entrance. However, the arsonist had erected a barrier of pipe and sheetrock at the basement's front entrance that prevented firemen from reaching the blaze. The fire penetrated the Horsky block through a basement doorway and later found good fuel after burning through windows on upper floors. "We fought it properly at the time, testified retired Fire Captain Robert Lee Crawford, who was first at the scene at 9:54 p.m. Crawford, who was not wearing an air-pac, said he went into the rear of the Coast to Coast building and saw no flames and no stairwell leading down into the basement.

The building was being remodeled and a basement stairway that he thought had been there previously was gone, he said. "We could have saved it if we were able to get into the basement and applied water," Crawford said. "'We never got to the fire area." Crawford said attempts to fight the fire from the rear were driven back by intense smoke and heat, and a decision was made to fight it from the front, driving the flame back through a welded grating in the sidewalk along Jackson Street. Don James Gage, a 13-year fireman, made the farthest penetration into the building by forcing open the door to the old Tobac-' co News store. "It was getting hot real fast," said Gage, adding that he felt the fire burning the floor joists beneath him.

Gage said he thought he could have begun attacking the blaze if he could have cut a hole in the floor, "but it was getting hot and smokey and there wasn't even time to do that." Fireman Ted Simpson said he and Doug Duncan went into the basement's front entrance, but couldn't see any flames: "There was rubbish and a type of wall and we couldn't get through." Gray said the situation quickly escalated and firemen's efforts switched from attack to defense, with a tower truck used to spray the Horsky Block in an effort to contain the blaze. Heat built up, however, and the second floor of the Coast to Coast "flashed over" and was consumed. They resided in Helena for several years, where she owned and operated Edna's Beauty Shop.

"I think it was Emmons said of the verdict, but added he didn't know what, if any, effect the suit will have on Helena is not the only Guard unit for whom the reorganization will mean changes in functions and duties, but few or no new personnel. One Missoula unit, for example, will go from 74 soldiers to 77. But other units are brand new, such as a 113-man medical company in Billings. For the first time, the Army Guard also will base units at Great Falls, with 203 soldiers authorized. At present, the Air National Guard is the only state military presence in Great Falls.

Adams said a new armory eventually will be built in Great Falls to house its contingent, but for now the Guard will lease The judge continued: "'The signal must go out, loud and clear, to those tempted to skirt, fudge or deliberately break the law that to preserve and nourish moral values and to preserve not only the actual integrity of the financial markets but the appearance of integrity in those markets, criminal behavior such as Boesky's cannot go unchecked." It was agreed that Boesky would surrender to begin his sentence on March 24. The government and defense had asked that he not be imprisoned immediately because he was continuing to supply information to investigators. Boesky, once considered Wall Street's leading speculator in Japanese. He said the extra length means that beef remains in the intestines longer and thus is prone to spoil 1 there. Lawmakers warned that unless the Japanese lower their beef quotas the United States could retaliate next year with toughened trade legislation.

Morrison said there was not much he could say about the verdict. "I guess the jury felt the responsibility for the fire belonged to the person who set it," he said.

The jury also received two editions of the Uniformed Building Guard Continued from Page 1A Reorganizing the Air Cavalry Troop could mean a few more pilot positions, Mooney said; for the first time in recent memory, women will be allowed to fill those slots. Mooney said the expansion brings little change to Helena because the recruiting market here already is close to glutted. Helena contains the heaviest concentration of Army Guard full-time personnel in the state, he said. "Helena's supported the Guard better than we would normally have expected," Mooney said. "But only so much potential in terms of demographics." Boesky Continued from Page 1A more than four years in prison on an insider trading conviction.

Lasker said that while he was convinced Boesky would not repeat his offense or commit other crimes, "the time has come when it is totally unacceptable for courts to act if prison is unthinkable for white defendants but a matter of routine in other cases." "Breaking the law is breaking the law. Some kind of message must be sent to the business community that such activities cannot be wholly repaired simply by repaying people after the fact," Lasker said. Beef Continued from Page 1A brought skepticism from other American officials. "I've never heard that argument before," U.S. Trade Representative Clayton K.

Yeutter chortled to reporters. "I've heard all the rest of them." "I think what we heard today was excuses and delays from the Japanese," said Rep. Robert F. Smith, chairman of the congressional Beef Caucus. "We've heard that before." Because Hata spoke through a translator, reporters approached him after the session and asked if he meant that Japanese intestinal tracts were literally longer than those of Americans.

"It is factual," he said. He said peoples whose diets rely heavily on grains generally have longer digestive systems and that this was also true of the rice-eating space. Two tank battalions will be located in western Montana one headquartered in Butte with detachments in Deer Lodge and Anaconda, and one headquartered in Kalispell with detachments in Libby and Whitefish.

A mechanized infantry battalion will be headquartered in Billings with four rifle companies one in Billings and three split among Glendive, Sidney, Culbertson, Plentywood, Lewistown and Chinook.
