CURED on the Great 11orthern near
here. in which ten men lost their
lives and % others were seriously in
iured. An extra freight ran into a
work train, and it was among those
on the latter train that the terrible
havoc was wrought. Forty-one Japa'
nese laborers were aboard the work
train, which was proceeding west
ward. It expected to meet the freight
at Culbertson. There is a sharp curve
near where the trains met, and each
was running at a speed Of % miles
an hour. So great was the force OF
the impact enat the freight cars were
thrown upon the top Of the work train,
which was piled high in mass OF
wreckage.
Almost Immediately flames broke
forth and added to the horror Of the
scene. Those uninjured Immediately
began to rescue those imprisoned in
the wreck, whose dying groans and
piteous appeals for help spurred on
the workers.
At the time the accident occurred
the Japanese were at breakfast, and
before they were aware of the i'm
pending danger the cars were
smashed into kindiing wood and the
dead ard dying men buried beneath
the heap of wreckage OF the entire
number in the car but three escaped
death or injury. After an hours work
all had been accounted for and there
were ten dead bodies beside the track
and several men so bauly injured
that it is likely that they will die It
was impossible to check the progress
of the flames, and soon seven of the
work cars and three freight cars were
- ashes.
It was some time before word OF
the wreck could be sent to the outside
world. 1t was necessary to send a
man on foot to CulbertsOn, six miles
away, and he could not be spared for
this until everything possible had been
done to save those in the wreck.
Word was sent to Glasgow for a
relief train and doctors, and as soon
as they reached the scene the work OF
caring for the injured began. Nine
teen of the injured were brought to the
hospital here yesterday afternoon and
the other nineteen were left at Havre.
OF those brought here all but three
probably will recover. Those at Havre
were not so seriously injured.
H. Mastoni, foreman of the Japa-
nese, who was one of the three who
escaped injury says that he had nc
idea who was to blame for the wreck

Courts-Martial in Cuba.

Copies of special orders received at the
War Department contain the records Of
eight court-martial cases in the depart
ment of Cuba. In the case of Private
Joseph Mccormick, Troop K. I'd Cavalry,
who was tried on a charge Of larceny,
found guilty and sentenced to dishonorable
discharge and years confinement at hard
labor, General Wood pronounced the pro-
ceedings Of the court irregular. 1t appears
that the witnesses of the act for which the
trooper was tried were all members Of his
own troop. and therefore, in order to short
en- the record the president of the court
announced that the usual question as to
identification would be dispensed with.
The record of general court-martial,' -
said General Wood, has been made as
short as experience teaches it can safely
be, and experiments in greater brevity
cannot be permitted The Irregularities,
however. did not invalidate the proceedings.
