THEY WERE ALL ASLEEP
TWELVE MEN KILLED IN COL.
LISBON ON GREAT NORTHERN.
Freight Train Consisted Of Lumber
Laden Cars and Three Cars
ct Workinsmen.

Leavenworth, Wash, Jan 21.-
Twelve men dead and as many more
injured is the result of a rear-end
collision that occurred on the Great
Northern five miles west of Chiwau-
kun at o'clock this morning. No.
1,152, extra from Skykomish, loaded
with lumber, and three cars of men,
ran into rotary snow plow, killing
or injuring the entire crew of 26 men.
Ten cars are piled up in heap, with
nine victime of the wreck still under
meath. The names of the dead are
not obtainable
The injured are:
Charles Dahl, back and hip injured.
Peter Tonos, cut on back.
Eliza McCaslin, hip injured badly.
James Pierce, head and face cut.
William Donnelly, foot and spine
injured.
Sam Benson, hip and spine.
Calvin Meyer, teeth knocked out.
Lewis Becker, arm scalded.
L. E. Adams, back injured and face
cut.
Daniel Cunningham, foot cut and
leg fractured.
John Glover, right leg badly bruis-
ed.
The engineer, l.. e. Adams, and
Fireman Lewis Becker of the freight
escaped only by a miracle. The box
cars that were used for transporting
the crew were coupled next the en-
gine, with cars of lumber following,
and when the crash came the lumber
telescoped the box cars loaded with
their human freight, killing or mang-
ling the entire crew. Only two es-
capped, and they were thrown bodily
into the air, landing 80 feet away
upon an embankment. The men were
in their hunks asleep when the acci-
dent occurred. Those that escaped
had hardly any clothing, and nearly
chilled to death waiting for aid. DR..
G w. Hoxey, who luckily happened
to be making professional. visit at
Chiwaukum, was on the scene almost
instantly.

ENDS S LIFE WITH HIS RIFLE
BROUGHT FIRST NEWS OF GUS
TER MASSACRE.
Places Muzzie Over Heart and Pulls
, Trigger with Stove PokerFear-
ed He Was Going Insane.

I, Missoula, Jan. 21.-George E. Van
Buren "a noted scout, soldier and
author during frontier days of Mon
tana, committed suicide at his cabin
on the Rattlesnake, about seven miles
from Missoula, by shooting himself
in the heart with a rifle.
He had been drinking quite heavily
lately and feared that he was going
insane. Van Buren had remarked to
several that he would rather kill him
self than go to the insane asylum
Last night just before IL o'clock, he
asked his wife if she could sleep alone
and she replied that she could, and
he got up and went into another room
and committed the rash act The body
and news of the tragedy reached Mis-
soula today. Van Buren was about
20 years of age and leaves wife and
several children who are in destitute
circumstances.
A life filed with eventful incidents
was led by the dead man. A di.
rect descendent of President Van
Buren, he came to Montana shortly
after the civil war to regain health
shattered by literary work with New
York papers. 1t was but short time
before he displayed unusual ability
as a scout
In his capacity he became connect
ed with the army, serving with noted
generals through many famous cam
paigns, including the battle of the Big
Hole under General Howard. and at
tached to General Miles staff as scout
during the campaign that included
Clusters massacre.
In the latter engagement Van Bu-
rem attracted much notice He arriv-
ed at the battle ground of the Little
Big Horn river the morning following
the annihilation of Clusters forces,
bearing important dispatches from
General Miles to General Custer,
which if received q hours earlier
would probably have changed history
concerning this important event.
He at once retraced his steps, ira
versing the dangerous country filled
with hostile reds, and reached Helena
with the news ten days later. 1t was
telegram sent by Van Buren to
the New York World from Helena

is thought his rach act was then con-
templated

the usual nature of the man. He
bade his wife an affectionate farewell,
and stepping to a kitchen leaned owed
a rife which he had carried in pioneer
days, and with the muzzle directed
over his heart, sprung the trigger with
a stove poker.
