n P. Railroad Accident

When near Gold Greek station, fifty miles
west of Helena, a Northern Pacific east-bound
train jumped the track. the day coach, diner
and Pullman rolling over int a ditch. In an in
slant the air was filed with shrieks, cries and
walls of the frightened, injured and helpless
passengers imprisoned in the overturned cars.
1t was nearly dark, and to add to the horror
and discomfort of the scene a driving rain
was coming down and the night air was chill
and penetrating. The sleeper, diner and day
coach were all lying on their sides inthe ditch
ten feet below the track, and from
each car came q chorus of screams,
cries and excited ordinations. Many Of
the men, among whom were three doctors,
got out very o and at once commenced
the work of extricating the injured andim-
prisoned. Luckily all lamps had gone out
and the cars did not catch fire. Men climbed
to the uppermost side of EACH car and pulled
out the passengers through the windows.
The wounded were attended by the doctors
and placed aboard q forward part Of the
train which remained on the track. Those
in the day coach, which was nearly filed,
Jared the worst. Among them were the Riley
* Wood theatrical troupe. Some of the
men were forward in the smoking car and
were not in the accident, but several
lady members of the troupe and also some
gentlemen were severely hurt. One Of the
actresses was horribly cut about the face and
head. The baby of a Chinese woman, who
was on board with her @hits husband, was
also hurt. There were about twenty-one
passengers in the sleeper, among whom were
several ladies. None had retired, except one
lady in the drawing room car, and she was
uninjured. There must have been twenty-five
ladies in the wreck and nearly twice as many
gentlemen. The wonder is that SO few were
hurt and nobody was killed outright. The
work of rescuing passengers occupied about
two hours.
