A somewhat remarkable result from fash
Of lightning occurred some time since on the
high bar between Race Track and Dempsey,
where Quinlan Bros flock of ], 400 sheep
were grazing with q herder in charge. The

neous and were terrific. The herder and

The working parties on the q. & N. Rail-
way In Deer Lodge valley are replacing the
narrow-gauge with standard gauge bridges
| of the most substantial pattern. We learn
| this Is being done along the entire line to
Pocatello. In the absence of any specific in
formation the only construction we can place
on this action is, that the u. g. N. Railway Is
to be made q stauGsrd-gauge from Pocatello
to Garrison. In fact, IL In not altogether .
| surmise that the work is already commenced
and that the bridge widening will be follow
ed by widening the grade, replacing with
standard gauge ties, and resetting the line to
standard gauge next season. The traffic is 80
great over this connecting road between the
two staRdard-gauge transcontinental routes
that the expense and delay Of gauge transfer
must he obviatcd.
