Independent LIST inst. About mid
night last Wednesday there was a
big smash-up o n the Northern Pa.
ci6c between Glendive and Miles
City. The bridge acrOs a small cou-
lee had been burned by tramps, and
the engineer did not notice the fact
until be was too close to stop his
train. Consequently he turned on all
steam and went at the gap like a
racer at a fence. The plan was sue
cessful so far as the locomotive was
concerned, for it ieaped the chasm
clear and landed squarely on the rails
beyond. But the rest Of the train
Was not SO fortunate, and a dozen or
more cars piled into the coulee, one
upon the other, and were LITERAL
ly reduced to kindling. Their con-
tents were scattered in almost every
direction in wild confusion grocer
les, fence wire, mOlassts 8, railroad
iron, dry goods, almost every men,
tionable, all mixed together. Fortu-
natelv nobody was seriously hurt.
AS it was impossible to clear away
the wreck inside of tw%enty-fOur
hours, a temporary track was built
around it on which the passenger
trains were aole to pass.
