From the Great Falls Tribune we
clip the following description Of the
Great Falls derby, which was run on
the last day Of the circuit meeting at
that place, which Ryan's Zillah won
handsomely and close up 10 the best
Montana record:
Probably in point Of interest there
will never be such another race as the
derby. The horses were all dead sure
winners, selling with little advantage
in The pools. All ran rather heavy,
Terry l22, Mystery 123 and Zillah III.
The distance was a mile and a half.
Horses could not have been more care
fully groOmed than were the trio after
their warming and before the race.
Every detail was attended to. Up In
the grand stand the crowd laughed
and ehatted in pleased anticipation.
Five dollars might be doubled, but
about the pOOlroOm strOlled men with
anxious faces. Their last dollar had
bae ked one horse to win. Others were
going about without a cent in their
pockets, perhaps, but with the true
sport spirlt content TO abide the result
aod take chances. The horses lined
up as follows: On the inside, ZIllah,
Smith riding; middle, Mystery, with
Williams ss jockey; outside, Terry,
with Hart. The horses got of, with
Mystlry slightly bebind. The gap
was quickly closed AID the three
punched for the fret quarter. Al the
half Mystery still led, the first hall
being made in :5s. Terry then began
to ,se and his admirers to drop theil
chins. He lost ten lengths in the third
quarter, and was plainly out of the
race Mystery aud Zillsh ran even t'
the stretch. Mystery gained trife
but Zillah drew up again. Down th'
stretch b n horses thundered, nsel
aud neck, bresst to breast. Closer and
closer they drew, ard stil not heaS

fairly bulged from their sockets

TRAINS TERRIBLE PLUNGE
Over a Bridge Into Deep
River,
PASSENGERS KILLED AND MANNED
Only One Car of a Big Train
Escapes.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
CHICAGO, June 17.--Information il
received early this morning of disas-
trous wreck on the Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad about a-half mile east OF
Coon Rapids, Ia.
A passenger train consisting of an en-
CINE, baggage and mail and express
cars, several coaches and two sleeper3
crushed through tile bridge over the
Coon river. Only the rear sleeper re-
manned on the track Two passengers
are known to have been killed and a
large number injured The engineer es-
capped unhurt but the conductor and
one brakeman were reported injured
Help from adjoining stations was sent
and corps of physicians is now on the
scene.
It was raining at the time of the acct
dent, and darkness and storm increased
the awful confusion.
The details received here are very
meagre. No names are given, and those
at the scene are too busy rescuing
passengers to give any. The superin-
tendent of the Iowa division was at
Omaha, and left at once for the wreck.
The locomotive was derailed in some
manner just as it ncared the trestle, ran
onto the ties, struck the supports and
tumbled over into the stream below,
dragging all but the sleeper.
The crew in charge believe all the
dead are the two passengers whose
names or sex cannot yet be learned.
Their bodies have not been taken out.
The list of injured will reach thirty,
some of whom are probably fatally
hurt.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The train was behind time and run
ming fast to make up lost time when it
plunged into the river. There were
five or six persons killed, three fatally
injured and seriously wounding is.
The disaster was caused by the terrific
rain undermining the approach to the
bridge.

THE sPECT,IL SESSION.
Governor Reynolds Laconio Remark
"C0me One DaY Go tho Next,,


Come One bay Go tho Next
From the following conversation which
took place on the Baltimore train Friday
morning it seems semi-officially certain
that Governor Reynolds will call special
meeting of the Legislature to consider and
make the necessary amendments to the
Five Commissioners bill
The parties iii conversation were
Governor Reynolds, ex-senator James
Wolcott, Road Commissioner A. Spier Of
lBilackbrd hundred and John Simmons of
the same hundred.
In reply to question as to the specie
session the governor said 1.-THE necessity
OF certain legislation in regard to the Free
Text Book bill will furnish reason sutfi-
Gent for the call and then discussion can
be made at The same time over the deficit
encies in the Five Commissioners bill.'
Well, governorh' one of the party re-
marked, there is no necessity of its being
a lengthy session. Everything needed
might be prepared beforehand, do you not
think?1
Certainly" Governor Reynolds replied.
You may just bring one suit of clothes
along-come one day and go the next
