An Island Burned Over,

James Simpson, of Rosebud, in COM
pany with force Of men, proceeded
on Wednesday to an island Ia the
Yellowstone, "A few miles above the
mouth Of the Rosebud, with the in
tention of cutting hay, the island be-
ing plentifully covered with that class
of vegetation as well as a good deal of
timber. The mowers had worked
with good effect all of that day, several
tons of hay being the fruit of their
labor, and the well earned evening
meal was prepared and eaten, when
the fire over which the grub had been
cooked got away from "Uncle Jimmy"
and with the aid of the entire party it
was not put out, but increased In vol
ume until the entire island, about 800
acres. was in flames and all the grass
and timber was laid low. There was
no stock on the island or they would
have been prey to the devouring
flames, but Mr.. Simpson lost all his
hay and good deal of time.

Joe Cox, yesterday, was showing
some choice horses to his friends that
he has just brought from London,
Ontario. They consist of three stall
lions and three mares, all thorough.
bred Clydesdales. all two years old,
with the exception OF one stallion,
which is three years old, and weighs
l,7lO pounds. The weights of the other
two stations are 1880 and 1,45O lbs.
The mares weigh 400 and 1880 lbs.
respectively. A number of expert
horsemen examined them. and were
of the opinion that they never had
before seen such nice, shapely young
horses. They all have registered
pedigrees, and have taken prizes In
their respective classes. Joe will take
them to his ranch In few days.

Ths New Episcopal Church.

AT meeting of the vestry of st.

evening, bids were received for the
construction OF the new church for the
Episcopal society, and the contract for
same was awarded to 4. j. Bryan &
Co. The new church ediiice will he a
Gothic structure, 32x6i feet in outer
dimensions, built of stone and brick,
with steep roof surmounted by an
ornamental belfry. The entrances at
front and side are marked by hand
some hooded porches, and richly
stained glass windows will light the
interior, which will probably be fin
ished in California redwood The
whole effect is of u marvelously hand
some and churchly building, and is a
credit to the designer, Mr.. Byron
Vreeland. Work will be commenced
in a very few days, and it is expected
to get the building under roof in early
fall.

The Fourth Judicial District.

Official information was yesterday
received by Deputy District Clerk Jas.
McFarlane that Fourth Judicial
District Of the territory had been
formed, consisting Of Choteau, Fergus,
Dawson and Custer counties; of which
the Hon. Thos. c. Bach had been ap.
pointed judge, and Jas. McFarlane
clerk, and that a term of court would
he held at Miles City, commencing on
the 9th day of September next.
Everybody will be gratified at the va
rious changes noted, but in none more
than in the promotion Of Mr.. McFar.
lane to the position of clerk of the
court for the district. 1t would seem
to a casual observer that more COM
pact district might have been created
from the abundant material at hand.
AS 1t now stands the judge of the
Fourth district and his attendants, In
each term, must traverse the length
and breadth of the territory from Fort
Benton in Choteau, to Glendive In
Dawson, to say nothing of the out-of-
the-way detour to Lewiston in Fergus.
However, there, were doubtless some
good reasons governing the selection,
