Montana Union Trains Crash
Into Each Other.
A WAS KILLED
His Life Crushed Out in all lnStant--
SWitchman William Freidler
Was Injured.

In a rear end collision between switch
trains on the Northern Pacific Y switch
this morning, Brakeman p. E. F%innegan,
an employee of the Montana Union, lost
his life and Switchman William Friedler
was injured.
The accident occurred about 9:45.
Switch engine No. 934, in charge of Engi-
neer Brebner and Foreman Flynn, left
the South Butte depot with eight loaded
cars for the Northern Pacific transfer
track. Foreman Hopkins and Engineer
Monaghan, with engine No. $50, We're
backing down from the Northern Pacific
transfer track with four empties-on the
same track as the other switch rains
Escaping steam made it impossible for
any member of the two crews to see the
danger. When the collision occurred Fin
negan was standing on one Of the empty
cars of Hopkins train. 1t was a fiat car
and was doubled up jack-knife fashion
when the heavily loaded cars of the other
train struck 1t. Finnegan was thrown
forward n to one side. The end car of
the loaded train was lifted up and fell
sideWlse, falling on top of the unfortun-
ate brakeman. He was crushed almost
beyond recognition.
! Eriedler, who was standing with Finne-
gan when the collision occurred, was
thrown forward, striking the ground
head first. His back vas badly bruised,
and he was badly shaken up, but his in
jurles are not serious, and he will be able
to resume his duties in a few days. No
one else was hurt.
Very little is known concerning Finne-
gan. He was about So years of age and
single. His home is in Ashland, Wis. He
had not been in Butte long, having en-
tered the employ of thu Montana Union
Railway company as an extra brakeman
about six weeks agO.
Frledler was seen at his home in South
Butte about II o'clock. He was resting
easily. He said the accident happened
before he could realize what was occur
ring. He was standing beside F~innegan
and had just addressed some remark to
HIM. The steam from the engine obscured
everything. The next moment he heard
an awful crash, and was flying throu/
the air. When he recovered conscious
ness he was being taken to his home by
some of his railroad friends.
One car was entirely demolished and
considerable debris was scattered alone
the rack. AS soon as it could be done.
the loaded car was lacked up and the
body of Flnnegan taken out and removed
to Sherman's undertaking rooms. Coroner
julien will probably mold the inquest
Monday, and in the meantime will en-
deavor to ascertain the whereabouts of
the dead mans friends and relatives.

The Testimony Against Him
Not Conclusive.
THE INTER MOUNTAIN WINS
Ludwig Eey Fails to Score a Base
Hit on the Meat
Proposition

The charge of assault in the third de-
gree preferred by Clio Chimminnetti
against j. f. S. Bell of the Meaderville
school a few days ago was aired in JUS
tice Nichols court today and resulted in
the discharge of the defendant.
The specific accusation against Bell
was that he had punished the ~6-year-old
boy belonging to the complaining wit
ness. The chastisement was not denied,
but its alleged severity was questioned.
The defendant was represented by At
torney Kehoe; the defense by the county
attorney. A number of teachers and
pupils were present to give testimony. 1t
was developed that the boy whose legs
are alleged to nave been warmed by the
principal was a pupil in the room pre-
sided over by Miss Nora Peters: that by
way of diversion from the usual routine
OF school duty he playfully jerked a chair
from beneath a little girl just as she was
in the act of sitting down. For this he
was sent to the principal to be repri-
manded, another boy being detailed to es-
cort him. The escort testified that he had
seen Bell strike the boy four or five times
with a bicycle tire and he had told Bell
he thought that was about enough. Willie
ffOSkllS was present, the witness SAD,
and he thought it Woul be all right to
give him a little more"
Samuel Phillips, the alleged slayer of
Fritz SchWab. was to have been taken
before Justice Nichols today n turned
loose, but the prosecution did not get
around to it. The photographs of the ac-
cused man sent to the county attorney
at Spokane a few days ago have not been
heard from directly, but indirectly they
have been identified as those of Phillips.
The prisoner is to be set at liberty as soon
as official returns are produced in court.
Jerry LoWney. the 16-year-old boy who
was arrested a few days ago on a charge
of incolrigibility, was released from the
county Jail today. The boys uncle, who
resides at or near Livingston, promised
the prosecuting attorney he would take
the youngster away from Butte and the
attorney let the boy go.
The suit of Ludwig Rey against the
Inter Mountain Publishing company to
recover judgment for $40, coo damages al
legged to have been sustained by him
through the publication of an article
concerning the quality of a chunk Of meat
found at the city hall on December y,
1897, was finished in Judge Leslie's court
this afternoon. The jury was out just
twenty minutes and returned a verdict in
favor of the Inter Mountain. There was
only one dissenting vote.

with propositions t eXohibit herself. Mr..
German objects to his wife travelling
about the country for this purpose and
hence the suit.

Washington. May 12.-"Send olympia's
mail to B. f. Stevens. No Trafalgar
square, London, England" was the notice
given out at the navy department today.
This is the first formal indication that the
famous flagship Is coming home imme-
diatelv.
Upon inquiry 1t was ascertaned that Sec
rotary Long had last evening cabled Ad-
miral Dewey permission to return at once
to the United States. He has been re-
lieved of the obligation of remaining at
Manila until the Philippine commission
completes its work. He is not even re-
CURED to await the cessation of ,hosiA-
tiles. but may start homeward at once.
The notice posted at the navy department
Indicates that the Olympia will not remain
long enough to receive the next outward
mail The Mr.. Stevens referred to is the

distribute all of the mail OF the United
States warships in European waters, SO
he will see to it that the Olympia re-
eeves hers as soon as she passes the Suez
canal.
1t is estimated at the navy department
that Dewey will reach the United states
ia time for a National demonstration on
the Fourth of July next. The Olympia
will not come under full steam, but, never
IL eless. she should make the run to New
York in about fifty-fve days from Manila.
That she is to come TO New York is nearly
certain. as shown by the following re-
sronse made by Secretary Long to the
urgent message Of invitation to Dewey
from Mayor Van Wyck of New York. 1t
may be stated that this was sent before the
notice was sent to Dewey that he might
come home at once.
Sir: l am in receipt of your telegram
with regard to the return of Admiral
Dewey and eXpressingfa desire that he ar
rive first in the country at New York.
The time of his return has not been fixed
and the department has taken no other
action than to authorize his return when
ever the condition OF the peace commits
sion shall permit. As to the route he shall
take in returning the department is in
clined to leave that to him. He has served
with great ability and must necessarily
fec; SO much the effect of his arduou5 la
bors in trying climate and under trying
circumstances that the department is dis
posed to let him govern himself in this
