TWO MEN WERE KILLED
Trains Came Together Near Flood
Station.
ONE MAN WAS INJURED
Goddard Was Trying Il Rush the Hill
and DID Not Get the Signal Until
II Was Too Late TO Stop
the Train.

Great Falls. Oct. 15.-By the collision
Of W ain at a point several miles
west of Flood station last night two
men were killed. Engineer Charles God
dard and Brakeman Bert June. and a
fireman. A. L. Rich. was injured by
Jumping. So far as learned, the acci-
dent occurred in the Following man
e Train No. 2s from the south was
late and train No. II had orders to meet
Is at Flood station. When the latter
train arrived there the siding was occu-
pied by a freight train, and Al pulled
by, believing the train to be IS. Just
as they were passing the rear brake
man on Al discovered that the train on
the siding was an extra n tried to
signal his engineer to stop. Goddard,
however, had a steep grade ahead of
him and, taking advantage Of the mo-
mentum gained in his run. was trying
TO rush the hill. and did not get the
signal until too late. No. 2s came down
the hill just in time to strike Al at the
foot OF the grade. Goddard and June.
who were on or near the engine of No.
al, were buried In the wreck and were
probably killed almost instantly. Rich.
the fireman on 2s. and William Kirwin,
head brakeman of the same train,
jumped and were injured.
A wrecking train bearing DR.. A. +.
Longeway. Acting Coroner w. II. Bur-
leigh, II. +. Byran, T.. l.. Bishop and
others left here about midnight and re-
turned at 2 o'clock with the body of
Bert June. That of Goddard had not
then been found. Goddard was a man
of about so years of age and an old
tim engineer, with a reputation for
great c~arefulness. His wife and chill
dren reside at Clancy and he had been
planning to bring them to this city in
the course of the next week. Bert June
had been a resident of this city for
several years, having been employed at
the Hotel Grand and by the Great
Northern Express company. Lately he
had been working as b~aggageman at
the Great Northern and this was his
first run on Inc road as a brakeman.
His parents. whose only child he was.
reside In this city at Fifth avenue
south ard Sixth street. He was %
years old and unmarried.
The body of Engineer Goddard was
found this morning after considerable
search. The second car from the en-
CINE had evidently caught him by the
heel as he ran and then turned over on
him. burying his body in coal. That of
June was found beneath the third car
from the engine, and that also was
buried In coal. Although the accident
happened comparatively early in the
evening, it was late before 1t was
known In this city. The extra freight
train pulled into this city without
knowledge OF the wreck. and those con-
cerned in 1t were obliged 10 hunt up a
ranch and then get a team and drive
TO Great Falls.

Great Falls, Oct. 15.-Each locality
visited by the nominees of the demo-
cratic party in this county sends back
enthusiastic reports. A number of those
who accompanied Hartman to Neihart
held a meeting at Monarch last night
and another at Barker this evening. A
message from the latter place states
was on hand at the meeting Of yester-
day. and a better meeting Is looked for
at Barker this evening. The enthusiasm
for the democratic principles seems to
be at the top notch everywhere and is
on the increase.

Sentenced. but Rope Broke, and sentence
Was COMMITTED.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
After being tried for the assassina-
ton OF VIII Buckley In Madison coun-
~. for which crime he was convicted
m an attempt at a legal execution
made. failing because the rope broke.
and after having his sentence commut-
ed by Governor McLaurin to life i'm
~prisonment I'm the penitentiary. Will
Purvis, the notorious Whitecapper,
stands a good chance TO be p%ardoned.
The governor this morning received
a remarkable letter. signed by the three
brothers and a brother-in-law of Will
Buckley. the murdered man. stating
that they believed a mistake had been
made. and that an innocent man was
suffering the penalty of another's crime.
These relatives have. ever since the as
sassination. been bitter against Purvis
and have resisted every attempt to
have him p~ardoned. The letter in ques-
ton Is signed by A. L. Buckley. j. Q.
Buckley. +. NJ. Buckley and II. c. Tun-
mage 1t recites the fact that the con-
tinued confinement of Will Purvis in
the penitentiary will have a tendency
to shield the real murderer of their
brother.
One brother. Jim Buckley. was with
Will when the latter was killed, and
testified on the trial that he saw VIII
Purvis unbreeching his gun right after
the fatal shot was fired. This, with
some corroboratory evidence. was the
meat OF the prosecutions case and the
evidence upon which Purvis was sent
enced to hang. During the last session
of the legislature a petition was circu-
lated and largely signed. asking tina
Purvis be ~pardoned. In addition h
people of Marion county have all along
doubted his guilt.
The story of Purvis' alleged crime
and the subsequent proceedings have
already been published. Will Buckley
was alleged to have belonged to a gang
of Whitecappers in Marion county. II
was said he was threatened with death
In case he revealed anything to the
grand jury. He was assassinated while
returning from court. Purvis was ar
rested and convicted on the evidence re-
cited above. He was sentenced to be
hanged, but the rope broke. and he fell
to the ground unconscious. He was
returned to Jail and his lawyers made
the point before the supreme court tina
he was executed. The court held. how
ever, that he had to be dead before the
sentence of the law had been carried
out.
He afterward escaped. and was at
large when Governor McLaurin was in
augurated. He offered to return to Gus
tody IL the governor would commute
his sentence to life imprisonment. He
refused TO negotiate with him until he
had surrendered. Purvis then surrend-
cred and was brought. by the govern
5r's, to the pe~nitentiary for safe keep
ing. There his sentence was commut-
ed to life imprisonment. and ever since
he has been serving his sentence.
