AN ENGINEER KILLED.
Crushed Under Runaway Locomotive
That Becomes DeraiIed.

A runaway locomotive on the North
ern Pacific caused the death OF an
engineer and serious injury OF a fire.
man, last Wednesday,
The engine was employed as he'll
per between Livingston and Muir
and had assisted passenger train
to the top of the mountain. At the
time of the accident it was backing
toward Livingston. Three minutes al
ter it had begun the return journey
it left the track, the result of run
ming at too high rate OF speed, as
it is said that the engine was going
at about mile minute at the time
it was derailed. For considerable
distance the locomotive remained up
right after it left the rails and then
plunged over on it's side. A sharp
curve exists in the track at the place
where the derailment occurred. To-
ward the inside of this the engine
was hurled, while the tender landed
across the track and when it stopped
was at right angles with the engine.
The engineer, William Tracy, was
thrown or jumped out of the window
| and was crushed between the side OF
the cab and the rocks against which
he was forced The fireman, Guy
Hodson, was found few feet further
back and also pinioned between the
/ cab and the bank. He was injured
about the head and body and later
after he had been removed to the
hospital at Livingston, it was found
that he had in addition sustained in
| ternal injuries.
Tracy's home was at Bozeman
where he had wife and four chill
dren. He was an old employe OF the
company and had the reputation ol
being very careful and efficient man

STORM CREATES HAVOC IN
NORTHERN MONTANA.
HERDERS FROZEN TO DEATH
Three Men Reported as Having Per
ished in Cascade County
la't Monday.

- Unless the reports sent out from
towns in the northern part OF the
state are greatly exaggerated the
losses to stockmen in that section,
occasioned by the storm which be-
gan there last Sunday will be the
greatest they have ever experienced.
1t is claimed that the total Of the
losses will be fully $5,0O0,O0O, in adj
dition to which it is tolerably certain
that several human lives have been
lost, SO awful was the storm.
In some localities it is estimated
that fully 80 per cent OF the sheep
on the ranges have perished.
The worst reports are received from
Teton county, where it is said sheep
and cattle by the hundreds frOze and
their carcasses are piled up in the
snow drifts. Thousands Of sheep at
last accounts were drifting about on
the ranges with no one to care for
them, the herders having been driven
in by the fury of the storm.
From Havre it is reported that OF
a shipment OF 600 cattle unloaded
there for the range to the north all
but five. were found frozen stiff. All
the towns in that part of the state
send accounts Of losses almost as
complete and the effects of the storm
will be felt there for many years to
come, as in some cases the ranges
are almost entirely depopulated.
In Cascade county the snow COW
cred the ground to an average depth
of two feet, while in many places
the wind caused immense drifts to
be formed and travel was impossible.
At Shelby Junction the snow in the
main street was piled so high that
even empty wagons could not get
through. All the herders in that sec
tion were driven in and at last re-
port between 100000 and 100000
sheep were running wild. Three
herders, who attempted to remain
with their focks, are known to have
wandered off and were frozen to
| death.
The news from Fergus county is
but little better. Latest estimates
place the losses in that county at
fully 20 per cent The storm began
there last Sunday, snow beginning to
fall at o'clock in the morning. All
day it continued to fall but the
weather being warm, it melted almost
as fast as it fell. At night the mer-
curry fell and Monday morning fully
six inches of snow covered the ground.
To make matters worse, a high wind
accompanied the snow and stock on
the ranges drifted badly

but little snow fell. The weather.
however was intensely cold.

SHORT AND DIRTY.
Wyoming Wool clip Not in Prime
Condition.

Dan" Halleck, one of the Oldest
woolbuyers to visit eastern MonttMa/
was in the city last Wednesday, On
his way to Miles City and Glendive.
Previous to his arrival here he had
been in northern Wyoming, where
he spent several weeks in the mar
kets of that state. He had but little
to say concerning the condition OF
the market there or wool matters
generally. Remarks he made, how
ever, justified the belief that contrary
to reports this seasons Wyoming clip
is no better than last, il quite so good,
in some instances. Because OF the
lack of feed and the intensely cold
weather sheep remained poor all win
ter and in consequence the f1eeces are
short, greatly detracting from their
value. In addition they are also very
dirty, the shrinkage in many cases
being as high as Is per cent, and
even higher.
When he left here Mr. Halleck ex-
pected to make bids on several large
clips already stored in the Miles City
and Glendive warehouses.
over in Idaho.
According to Boise newspapers wool
has reached IA cents in Idaho, an ad-
vance of / cent over the price the
buyers have Feen holding out for and
which they claimed would be the top
of the market for this season. 1t is
claimed that at Payette even better
than IA cents was paid, but of this
nothing positive is known. One OF
the large clips of that section, that
OF Wilson Bros, was sold for the
price quoted and it's sale gives much
announcement to the other flock
masters, as they believe it will have
no little to do with fixing the price
for the remainder OF the season.
The recent advance in freight rates
on wool to the Boston market has
been exploited for all it is worth
by the buyers and in some instances
they have managed on the strength
of it to secure clips at prices con-
siderably lower than the highest
quoted. But with the high mark set
it is believed that from now on the
top price will be paid or there VIII
be only a few sales.

and Seventh avenue. The report was
adopted.
A report was made by the finance
committee on the matter of the spe-
cial taxes due the city for 1896 from
the Minnesota & Montana Land and
Improvement company on account Of
improvements made in special i'm
provement district No. /. The re-
port was referred back to the COM
mittee and city attorney with the
recommendation that they consult
with the attorneys who represented
the city in the suit with the company
with view to arriving at some set
tlement.
AS it's second report the fire, water
and light committee advised the grant
ing of the petition of Bowling and
others for an extension Of the water
service from Fourth avenue, north,
and North Twenty-sixth street to
North Sixth avenue. The recommen-
dation was adopted and the extension
ordered.
Is Reconsidered.
On motion OF Alderman Bouton the
council reconsidered it's action on the
first petition OF Bowling, ct al, which
the committee had reported favorably
and which had been granted-that
for extending the water service from
North Seventh avenue and Twenty
sixth street. Mr.. Bouton said that an
examination OF the map showed the
proposed extension to be beyond the
limits of the city and consequently
the council had no authority in the
premises.
A reconsideration having been or
dered, Alderman Bennighoff moved
that the petition be referred back to
the committee and that every en-
deavor be made to give the residents
OF that locality relief in the matter
OF water supply.
Miscellaneous.
Instructions were given the commit
tee on improvements and city proper
ty to have the outer entrance to the
city Jail completed. The matter OF
the Venetian blinds, ordered for the
city hall last January, was referred
to the same committee
Mayor Foster appointed William
Hampton driver No. 1 and Fred Soule
driver No. 2, both OF the fire depart
ment. He also announced the ap-
pointment of William P. Schneider,
street commissioner, as special police
man, to act without pay. All three
appointments were confirmed.
Further time was granted the COM
mittee on fire, water and light in
which to report on the petition OF c.
H. Smith and others for water main
in North Twenty-second street.
w. B. George addressed the coun-
Gil in reference to the stairway be-
tween his building in North Twenty
eighth street and the city hall. At
the conclusion of his remarks it was
voted unanimously that the city de.
fray one-half OF the cost OF construct
/ ing the stairs.

In the fall of 1900 Mr.. George Z.

life insurance policy in The Security
Mutual of this city. The policy was
made payable to his mother. The
physical examination showed that his
health was all that could be desired
and the risk was considered good
one in every respect. But the uncer-
tainty of life is made apparent by the
fact that this young man in less than
three years from the date Of taking
the insurance met an accidental death
