rail- Eight persons were killed and 81
wounded.
Among those killed were William Rel

two Misses Tracy of Bozeman and three
others whose names cannot be learned.
Among the badly injured was Sheriff
Hubbard of Yellowstone county, whose
legs were cut off.
Details of the accident are meager.
The wreck was caused by the breaking
OF the connecting rods of the switch at
Dehart. The train was making up lost
time and when the engine struck the
switch its weight and the momentum of
the cars behind it caused the rails to
spread, allowing the smoking car and one
other to leave the track and fall over on
their sides
