NARROWLY AVERTED

Butte, Mont. July A special to
the Miner from Fort Benton says a
heavy freight ON the Great Northern
ran into washout at Rhine coulee yes
terday morning. The engine and ten
den went down a distance OF twelve
feet. burying the engineer and fireman
in the soft earth beneath the engine.
Both bodies were crushed into shape
less masses

ger train saved II from destruction.
The fast train was due 10 reach the
scene or the wreck at the time the
freight dashed into the washout. but
being late. the right OF way had been
given TO the freight. Heavy rains the
past few days have raised havoc with
roadbeds OF the railroads in this sec
ton of the country.
