can teach us something, those which afford

MONTANA NEWS.

One of the worst freight wrecks
which has occurred on the Rocky
Mountain division of the Northern Pa
cific in many years, from the stand
point of delayed traffic, took place at
an early hour Sunday morning about
miles east of Garrison, Mont. Freight
cars loaded with export shipments for
the orient were piled so feet high,
and the wreckage of two trains is scat
tered along the track for a consider
able distance. Traffic was brought to
complete standstill, and no trains
were able to, pass the scene of the
wreck for Is hours.
One of the train crew, Fireman
Bowman, of an extra east bound
freight, was instantly killed and two
other trainmen were hurt, though not
seriously.
The accident was due to a mistake
in constituting the orders on the part
of the engineer of the west bound
freight.
The extra met the original second
section in deep cut, while both trains
were running at high rate of speed.
The impact was terrific, throwing the
debris mountain high, both engines
completely telescoping. 1t was i'm.
possible to build track around the
wreck by reason of the deep cut.
