A serious Freight Wreck = More Trouble

special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, June 10.-This afternoon
about l o'clock, when freight train No
81 was en- route to Bozeman from this
station, Is cars of the train jumped the
track at point just beyond the west
end of the tunnel and piled up in a
wreck along the line. The wreck was
caused by a brakebeam dropping on
the rails from the trucks of one of the
cars of the train. A wrecking train
was summoned from this station and
with the usual outfit and crew Super
1ntendent Horn repaired to the place
OF the accident and succeeded in get
ting i've of the Is cars back on the
track. The line was cleared in a short
time and the train proceeded on it's
way west. The train was double
header, the engines being in charge of
Engineers Hill and James, Conductor
John Brown in charge of the train
James Mccartney returned to-day
from a trip to the East He has been
gone several weeks. While away he
visited in New York and spent some
time in Missouri on his way home. He
says business appears to be picking up
in the East, but he found no scarcity
of democrats. w. J. Bryan delivered
an address at public meeting in Han
nibal, Mo-, the evening Mr.. Mccartney
arrived there. and the visitor from
Montana says that the woods We're full
of people down there who admired sill
Vers champion.
Parties are in town this evening from
Butte en- route to Bear Gulch, where
they will begin mining operations.
They tell a somewhat singular story
and claim that legal proceedings will
be instituted at once to eject trespass-
ers from their ground at that place
One of the members of the concern
stated to the Standard reporter that he
had secured the services of three men
to guard his leased property against
intruderS, and after he returned no
Butte the men We're arrested, and
while absent at the office of the JUS
tice, being examined on a charge which
was dropped when the evidence was
heard, the ground which they We're
employed to guard was jumped. 1t is a
fact that a great deal of hard feeling
exists in the camp. The Bear Gulch
Mining company appears to be jealous
of any new capital that comes, and 1t
is likely that trouble will result before
their difficulties are finally adjustaa
1t is sure thing that the double pas
senger service will be discontinued
next Sunday. 1t was given out at the
Office of superintendent Horn to-day
that different ARRANGEMENTS would be
made for conductors next week, and
the reason given was that the trains
would be. pulled off.
George Winslow, one of Livingston's
prominent merchants, returned from
the East to-day. He was in Minnesota,
his former home, visiting with his wife.
Mr.. Winslow says the country is pick
ing up back there, but it comes long
way from being anywhere near as good
as Montana. Mr. WinsloW is a mem
Der of the school board here and con-
nected with every public enterprise,
and his recent vacation is the first in
years.
Friday evening the fee house of S. l..
Halliday, couple of miles from town,
was burned to the ground. 1t is
thought that the fire was the work of
an incendiary. The following night
some one attempted to set fire to the
slaughter house Of William Hruza. A
sheep pelt was saturated with oil and
fired. but the flames failed to ignite the
building. There is but little infiamma-
BILE material around either of these
buildings, and it is thought the Halli-
day ice house was fired by the aid of
oil. A reward of $500 has been offered
by Mr.. Halliday for the apprehension
of the miscreants who burned the
structure or caused it to be burned.
