BUTTE, Dec. I4.-Great Northern pas
senger train No. 3, west bound, was
wrecked about 4 O'Clock Wednesday
morning near Brockton, 81 miles east of
Glasgow. Four passengers are reported
killed and many injured. The cause of
the wreck is said to have been broken
rail. Railroad officials claim not to have
any information of the accident.
Later information states that the train
was running about as miles an hour,
making up lost time. The accident took
place near the switch east of the little
station. The track here is on high
fill. The train was coming As miles an
when it struck a broken rail. The en-
gine, baggage car, mail and express cars
passed over safely. The second class
coach was derailed, but remained on the
grade. The first class coach, tourist
sleeper and diner went down into the
ditch. The three last cars were pretty
badly smashed up. A physician on the
train did much to alleviate the sufferings
OF the injured while awaiting the arrival
of the company physician, who accom-
panied the wrecking crew from Williston.
The coroner was notified. The train was
in charge of Conductor Hawley. l..
Hoffman was the engineer.
The dead: An aged woman, name un
known and her daughter, Mrs Watson,
residence unknown, thrown through a
window, glass severing jugular vein;
Russian child, name unknown.

LONDON, Dec. II-When the house of
commons went into committee of the sup
ply today William st. John Broderick,
the secretary of state for war, introduced
the supplementary estimates, AI6,ooo,-

oversanguine and that it anticipated that
the expenditure to March would be
little short of the outlay the government
has been incurring for the fiscal year.
He added that the governments policy
was to pursue the war with the strongest
possible force and continuous stream Of
supplies so that peace may the more
quickly be achieved. Mr.. Broderick added
that he believed the government was now
asking for the final sum required for this
abnormal war.
