HE HAS COME FAR.
German From vaterIand Attracted
BY Fame Of Billings.

It is admitted that for it's size Bill
ings is about the best known little
city in the United States, and it's
name is familiar to almost every one,
but it is not generally known that its
fame extends to places beyond the
seas. Yet such is the fact, as was
attested here last Sunday, when a
man registered at n of the hotels
who came direct from his home in
Germany to see this part of the coun-
try, made famous by the name of the
enterprising city to which it is trib-
utary.
The gentleman was Herr Will
Seyfarth, from Berlin. He said that
he had read much of Billings and the
cattle business, and had come direct
from Berlin, without stopping, on a
tour of investigation. He was desir-
GUS of securing a place on some large
ranch where he might familiarize
himself with the stock industry and
possibly eventually engage in it.
Mr.. Seyfarth is a cultured, refined
man and seemingly possessed of con-
| siderable wealth. Although a Ger
man. he speaks English with tiuency.
To those with whom he engaged in
conversation he said that he did not
care much whether he made any
money or not, as he vas not depend
ent upon his labor for an income, but
was seeking an education in a branch
Of business of which he knew nothing
and which seemed to hold out excel
Ilent inducements to those who con

PIONEERS IN SESSION.
Annual Meeting Of Montana Trail
Blazers at Butte.

y Butte, Oct. 1O.-Sitting side by side,
bound together in the fraternal grasp
of p~ioneership, nearly 300 OF Mon
tana's old settlers met at their 21st
annual gathering in the Auditorium
this afternoon.
Men and women, whose features
bore unmistakable indications of the
toll and hardships OF their argonaut
days, but who were happy in the
thought of being once again together,
and having an opportunity OF talking
over old times, when Montana was
wild and woody, took great interest in
the proceedings of the first session.
They seemed proud OF the knowledge
that they were the bone and sinew
that blazed the way for the cOnven
lions of modern life that now prevail
in the commonwealth OF their adOp-
ton.
1t was the first time that Montana's
pioneers ever met in Butte, many OF
them had never been here before, and
in the morning the "snowbirds" gath
cred in small groups and renewed old
friendships, while others made short
excursions around the city seeing the
sights.
President Whitford called the meet

FREIGHT TRAINS CRASH.
Two Come Together DisastrousIy
Near Garrison,

AS far as regards delaying traf-
tic is concerned one OF the worst &C.
cidents that has happened on the
Northern Pacific railroad occurred
about five miles east of Garrison last
Sunday morning. Two freight trains
collided, head On, and the track was
streWn for a considerable distance
with wrecked cars, which at one
point at least were piled SO feet high.
For 18 hours traffic was at a COM
plete %standstill and no trains we're
able to pass the place where the
wreck was. One man, a fireman, was
killed instantly, and several others
were hurt, though not seriously.
The collision was due to a misun-
derstanding OF orders on the part OF
engineer Of the e%astbound
train. He was ordered to
meet three sections Of No.
So, w%estbound freight, at Big Bend
siding. The eastound was running
extra and had passed the third Sec
ton of No. So ahead of the original
section. The number of the engine OF
this second section is said to have
correspondent to that of the locomo-
tive supposed to be drawing the third
section, as given in the orders, and
the engineer OF the extra pulled out.
He met the original section in a deep
cut. Both trains weer running at a
high rate OF speed and it was impos-
sible to stop them. The two engines
came together with terrifis force, tele-
scoping completely and throwing
wreckage many feet into the air.
By reason of the high banks on
either side of the cut it was impos-
sible to build a temporary track
around the wreck.
