The record — long form
The Harp Pub is the Oscar — the 'final owner' that's the '49 declared, the 'set the fire' that's the burning chosen. The 'basement' is the died — the 'killed himself' that's the below the bar, the 'fire failed' that's the building saved. The 'still Oscar's' is the kept — the 'make noise' that's the staff report, the 'brothel and pool hall' that's the building's past.
The '1888' is the brick — the 'two-story' that's the Main and Commercial, the 'Anaconda' that's the smelter's town. The 'permanent domain' is the claimed — the 'tortured soul' that's the tourism board's copy, the 'ask anyone' that's the witnesses' chorus. The pub is the possessed — the 'owner stayed' that's the ownership eternal, the 'noisy ghost' that's the Oscar proved.
The file keeps the pub: Oscar's fire, the basement's end, the noises reported, and the 'still his' refrain.
The Harp Pub is the archive's Montana file — the owner who wouldn't leave.
Why this file matters

A pub keeps its owner — the file's suggestion being that the Harp's hold is the refused: the 'final owner' that's the fire's intent, the 'extinguished' that's the plan denied, and the 'noise made' that's the claim maintained.
