FATAL WRECK
NEAR UBET
Charles Shubert, Well Known Fire
man on Montana Railroad Losses
His Life in the Accident.
CRUSHED UNDER THE ENGINE
New Locomotive Goes Into Cut Near
Ubet-inquest to be Held.
Thursday Evening"

The regular train on the Montana
railroad that left here yesterday
morning was wrecked at about 9
o clock at the approach to the "Shoe-
fly about one mile east of TIBET re.
sulting in the instant death of Fire
man Charles Schubert.
How it Occurred
The "Shoefiy", so called. is a track
built around cut at that point to
enable trains to pass when the cut
is filled by drifting snow. 1t appears.
from all that can be learned, that
while on this "Shoefy', the engine.
meeting with some obstruction in the
way of snow, went over into the cut.
Mr.. Snubert was caught under the
falling locomotive and crushed to
death. The engineer. Ole Shull, es-
capped serious injury by jumping. In
addition to the engine, which is the
new 100000 FOUNDER recently put in
service, one car went over. The bal
ance of the train remained on the
track, and it is said that the damage
to the rolling stock is not extensive
As quickly as possible, the body of
the unfortunate fireman was extracted
from the wreck, and when the train
TO Lewistown arrived, was placed on
board, and arrived in this city on the
belated train last night.
Inquest Thursday Night.
Engineer Shull and the rest of the
crew went on through to Lombard.
and will return Thursday night. at
which time the inquest will be held.
Mr.. Snubert was about % years of
age, and had held his present position
some six months. He was a single
man, and had no relatives here. his
people residing at Livingston. He
had many friends in this city, and was
quite popular young fellow. attentive
to his business and a hard worker.
He was well liked by his associates.
and in the performance of his duties
was faithful AMI careful man.
Will Cause Little Delay.
The regrettable accident appears to
have been one of those unavoidable
occurrences which cannot be guarded
against. During the very heavy storms
that have prevailed of late, the trains
on this line have beben put through
nearly on time. the new equipment
overcoming the difficulties of the Win
ter season. At this time. the track
is practically clear. and trains were
running through right on the schedule.
The damage to the track resulting
from this accidenr is not serious. and
it will be quickly repaired
