The continuous rain for the past
month has played havoc with the
Northern Pacific trains in Montana.
The only trains running last week be-
ing stub trains between Helena and
Bozeman and Butte and Bozeman.
Bridges went out and tracks under
water caused delay, both east and west.
No trains came over the mountain from
for six days, until Thurs
day, when twelve trains that had been
tied up for some time passed through.
1t is impossible to say when the trains
may be able to run of schedule time.

Butte, after spending a week visiting
Mrs P. A. Breen of this city.
A report was circulated about the
city Sunday night about midnight that
the dam at Mystic Lake had given
way. The report almost caused
panic among the residents on the east
side of Bozeman, especially those who
live along the Bozeman river. 1t seems
impossible to learn how the report was
but after it started it spread
like the best of intentions, many promi-
nent citizens notified those in danger
if the water from the lake should
come down as anticipated. Men and
and children fled to high ground,
over 200 being at one time on Cemetery
hill, east of the city, and about as
many on College hill. There are many
funny stories told on many prominent
business men, and there is a serious
side too, as many suck people spent the
entire night out of doors in the rain.
and in all probability there will be
much sickness resulting. 1t was some
time before ii was learned that the re-
port was false, and it took much longer
to correct the false report than to give
the alarm in the first place, and it was
not until late Monday that the people
we're convinced there was no danger
and, that the outflow of Mystic lake is
so that there is no danger of
overtaxing the dam.
