A SERIOUS STABBlNG AFFRAY.

Two Cowboys at the Thos. Cruise Ranch
Have a Quarrel.
Clarence Settles came in from the
Cruise ranch early Tuesday for physi-
clan and the sheriff to attend to the
principals in serious stabbing affray
which occurred near the Cruise ranch
about midnight the previous day, says
the Fergus County Argus. 1t appears
that two men named Wilson and Rodg-
ers had Monday evening filled up on
fighting whisky and on their way to
the ranch had quarreled over some trifle
as a result of which Wilson was very
severely and possibly fatally cut by
Rodgers. A. pocket knife was the
weapon used and Wilson was cut about
the stomach and lungs. given a three
inch cut in the neck near the juggler
vein and also about the head and
shoulders; the coat worn by Wilson
showed seventeen holes. When Mr..
Settles left for the surgeon and officer
the injured man was splitting blood and
in very precarious condition. Rodg-
ers expressed great regret for the affair
and was unable to explain the cause.
DR.. Lindsey and Sheriff Shaw respond
ed and are expected back today, when
the full particulars and results will be
known as it'
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1899-04-11

the house is at least thirty feet above
low water mark and no one, Sullivan
more than any one, believed his family
was in danger. Two men who worked
for Sullivan left the ranch for town the
afternoon before the ice broke and had
to wade through water two feet deep
on the low land.
The bodies of Eugene O'Connor anG
Miss Nellie Reagan were recovered
Sunday and buried Monday The
bodies of Mrs r. W. Snyder and MISS
Rose Wybrecht have not yet been re-
covered, but friends are anxiously
searching for them near the place where
they were torn from the tree III which
they all took refuge.
From reports up and down the river
from Glendive no more persons are
known to have been drowned, but many
houses have been washed away and
ruined. Several families below town
were compelled to pass the night in
trees or they would have met the fate
of the Sullivans. The water is still
running high, with considerable ice 60
ing down. but the worst is over. Old
timers say the ice break of 1881 was
equal in thickness but did not have the
volume of water to carry it that this
breakup did, the highest water this
time being thirty. five feet.
The citizens of Glendive met in the
Glendive club rooms and appointed sew
eral committees to begin investigating
the advisability Of rebuilding the
bridge, two main spans and the combi-
nation span Of which was washed ont.
leaving the draw span, 326 feet long,
by itself in the river, and one span,
No. 4, 306 feet long, standing on the
shore.

DELAYS ON RAILROADS.

High Water Washes Tracks and Bridges
Away and Wires Are Down.
The sudden rise i'll the waters of sew
erai Montana rivers has played havoc
with railway transportation. On the
Burlington there is washout between
Grow Agency and Fort Custer and no
trains have left this>oity on that road
since Sunday. kf this writing the
train due hese last night had not left
Sheridan and AS the wires are down
nothing definite can be learned.
On the Northern Pacific there has
been 10 through train since Friday
night. Yesterday the passengers and
mails were transferred at Miles City
and the train which left here in the
morning, came back in reversed order
last evening. An extensive washout
east Of the depot at Miles prevents the
passage Of trains. The express train
from the west this morning is tied up
here and no assurance is given of an
early movement Of either it or the Bur
lingtOn train.

DROWNED LIKE RATS
High Water Causes Death and
Destruction Near the City
of Glendive
TWELVE LIVES LOST
Ice Gorge in River Causes Overflow.
Railroad Tracks and Bridges
Washed Out.

Ian ice gorge forming in the Yellow
Stone river near Glendive caused un-
usual high water in that vicinity and
death and destruction to life and prop
erty. The river gorged Friday night
as the ice in the river began to move.
When the gorge broke the rushing ice
carried away span of the large wagon
bridge across the river at Glendive.
The bridge is wrecked except for the
draw, which is said to be intact. Dur
ing the rush of the high water twelve
per sons are known to have lost their
lives and subsequent investigation may
increase the list 1t is the worst horror
that ever occurred in Dawson county.
The persons who lost their lives so
far as known were Mrs. R. W. Snyder,
her brother, Eugene F. O'Connor; her
niece, Miss Nellie Reagan, and Wis
itor. Miss Rose Wybrecht, who lost
their lives trying to reach the Northern
Pacific railway track. a block from
their ranch, half mile above Glen
dive, during the overflow of water and
ice. A fifth member of the party,
Joseph Meyers, was rescued from a
tree Saturday morning at IS o'clock by
several daring men, who risked their
own lives to save him. The party of five
left the ranch to reach the track, but
before they covered half the distance
the water was waist deep and they

ting up first and O'Connor assisting
from below. O'Connor was the first to be
washed from the tree, Mrs. Snyder the
second and Miss Wybrecht third. A
huge piece of ice struck the tree and
broke it in two, carrying off Miss
Reagan. '
The entire family of James Sullivan,
consisting of himself, wife and six
children, were also lost. Sheriff Aiken
and companion crossed the Yellow
stone river Sunday morning to ascertain
if there were any more victims. They
found the residence of Sullivan, located
about 200 feet from the Yellowstone
river, picture of desolation. The
doors and windows had been torn away
by the rushing waters, while the entire
family had been drowned in the room
as they slept. +..=- .@a.
The wife and children were un-
dressed, but the father was fully
dressed, with his overshoes on. All
were lying on their beds except the old
est daughter and one of the younger
sons. who were lying on the floor.
From appearances the overflow caught
them while they were asleep. but the
position Of the father, who was sitting
upright on the bed, indicates that he
must have been awakened by the rush
of waters, for he did not drown, as his
face and hair show no signs of water,
nor could the water have reached the
height of his position. The thought of
seeing his family drowned undoubtedly
was the cause Of death.
Seven horses in Sullivan's stable,
within 100 feet Of the house. were
drowned. Sullivan's ground around
