KILLED
BYWRECK
HEAD-ON COLLISION in
EAST MONTANA.
TWENTY-ONE PERSONS KILLED
AND FIFTEEN INJURED
IN WRECK.


Of the Northern Pacific railroad 81 per-
sons were killed, Is seriously injured,
several fatally, and about 80 more or
less injured in collision between pas
senger train No. 16, known as the east
bound Burlington flyer, and west
bound freight train at $40 o'clock
Friday morning at siding known as
Youngs point, about 80 miles west Of
Billings. The fast travelling passenger
train crashed into the freight just
entering the siding during a binding
snowstorm, the engineer Of the pas
senger failing to see the signal flag
of the freight train in time to avert
the crash.
The passenger train, which was rum
ming about so miles an hour, crashed
into the freight, wrecking both loco
motives and telescoping the smoker
and baggage car. The smoker was re-
duced to kindling wood and only three
persons riding therein are known to
have got out of the wrecked car alive.
Many of the killed were terribly
mangled, some of them being ground
to bits.
When the relief train reached the
wreck the scene was one of a most
heartrending nature. Many volunteers
were engaged in taking the bleeding
forms from underneath the wrecked
cars. The groans of the injured and
dying were terrible.
On the relief train were DR.. Watkins
and his assistants from Billings and
several nurses, and at Park City and
Laurel number of other physicians
got on the train. Everything possible
was furnished the injured and every
thing possible done to save the lives
of those who were dying. The cold
damp, snowy weather increased the
suffering. The. farmers living near
rendered their services, supplying
clothing and blankets and received
many injured into their homes.
Fireman Babcock of the passenge,
train and Fireman Phillips of the
freight, both Of Livingston, and the
head brakeman, Milo Holloway of Bill
lings, were killed outright. Clever
other passengers, the two engineers, the
mail clerks and baggagemen on the
passenger train were seriously injured
Most of the II seriously injured viii
probably die. The passenger struck
the freight engine full in the side, tele
scoping the mail, baggage cars, smok
er, crushing the day coach and pinning
the passengers and trainmen beneath
the splintered wreck of engines, pas
senger and freight cars.
A heavy, wet snow which was fall
ing at the time prevented the wreck
from catching fire. All westbound
trains are held at Billings until the
wreck is cleared.
The killed and injured were all rid
ing in the smoker, none of the occu
pants of the first class coaches and
sleepers being injured. The dead were
loaded in a coach and taken to Billings
when the track was cleared. The in
jured have been taken to Billings ani
will be placed in hospitals. The en-
gineer of the freight was among thu
killed. Both engines are lying on thei
sides badly damaged. The baggage
car was totally wrecked. except tn
trucks.

Blame Tarinmen for Wreck.

The eoroner's jury, after investigating
the wreck, returned verdict finding
the crew of the Northern Pacific freight
train into which the Burlington flyer
crashed while the former train was at
tempting to reach a siding in advance
of the limited to blame for the disas-
ter. The jury found that the freight
train was running on the time of the
passenger train. Prosecution of the
freight crew will follow Immediately.
