while administering to their inju-

any city proud Of such noble insti-
tuition for caring to the physical ills

another traveller his jaw fractured

Wreckage is a sight never to be for
gotten. Piling is being driven and
a new bridge will be in place just as
soon as possibility permits.
Tuesday forenoon another victim
was found under the wreck, badly
mangled. and was brought on late
No. to this city. A letter found
in his pocket was addressed to Ches-
ter Peterson at Terry and was from
W. J. Peterson of Portal, N. D.,
presumably brother of the deceas-
ed. A watch was also found on his
person. So it is surmised that the
last victim has been IN the neighbor-
hood of Terry for some time. 1t is
thought not unlikely that other
deaths have occurred and that the
bodies may still be under the ruins.
The following is a list of those.
more or less injured, who were
cared for at Grace Hospital: J. G.

KILLED IN BAD WRECK
Four Persons Meet Death on No. Monday, Including
Fireman and Expressman Cars Smashed

suffered terrible injuries from
which he died shortly after 3 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, being conscious
almost to the last. after he had been
conveyed to Grace Hospital with the
other injured travellers. His home
was in st. Paul, where his wife and
children reside
The mail car was thrown entirely
over the engine by the frightful We
locity of the impact. The car soon
caught on fire but was speedily ex-
tinguished by hastily formed buck
ct brigade. Mail Clerks Harry
Neirling and w. A. Edwards of
Jamestown received various serious
bruises and injuries. They were
removed to Grace Hospital with the
others and this morning went east
on No. a, Mr.. Edwards going to the
Brainerd hospital and Mr.. Neirllng
intending to stop at jamestown
where his relatives reside. In a
conversation with a Monitor repre-
sentative Mr.. Edwards stated that
he had been involved in eleven
wrecks. but that his injuries in this
mixup were the worst he had ever
received.
Electrician Oliver of Mandan was
cleaning his dynamo in the baggage
car when the shock came. The end
was torn out of the coach, and Mr..
Oliver thrown out bodily. being al
most denuded of clothing during his
exit. but not greatly inlureJ he
returned to Mandan this Gisrning.
Tt is stated that the smoking car
was practically turned up on end
when it left the track, hence the

first wreck by any means. Mr.. Litch
is confident that he has a good long
term to serve yet for the Northern
Pacific, being extremely philosophic
in his misfortune, as BELTS the noble
army Of engine drivers to which he
belongs.
It was a narrowing sight as the
victims of the wreck were carried
from the relief train and from the
passenger coaches Of No. 2, which
was returned to this city almost
Immediately after the relief train.
The local doctors were given great
assistance in caring for the injured
by Wibaux and Beach medics, who
come to the scene Of the wreck on
No. 3 and were thence conveyed to
this city on the relief train, while
caring as best as possible for the
injured.
Those who received only slight in
juries and all the other passengers
were cared for at the Jordan Hotel,
local officers of the Northern Pacific
doing all in their power for the
comfort of the wayfarers. In fact
there are probably few cities of the
size Of Glendive in the country that
would have handled the situation
more expeditiously and mercifully.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the faithful and tireless servants
whom the railroad company employs
at this point.
Grace Hospital was indeed busy
place during the evening, but the
corps Of physicians and nurses seem
ed equal to anything and handled
the wreck victims with a gentleness,

AS soon as word was brought to
this city, the Wrecking outfit was at
once ordered out, together with a
relief train consisting of several
cabooses. Supt. B. O. johnson was
out of the city being west on the di-
vision, but J. NJ. Rapelje, former
superintendent, Was ii the city and
at once took charge of the relief
train, which was hurried eastward
News of the calamity spread most
rapidly and early in the evening a
great crowd had assembled at the
depot, but it was several hours be-
fore the return of the rescue party
with the dead and injured. Mean
while Capt. Mitchell of Company I
had volunteered the services of the
company, which were most CRATE

was halted near the ice house and a

the neighborhood to keep back the

to the hospital and the dead to the

his autoin carrying the lesser in
jured to the Grace Hospital, where
some twenty of the unfortunate
victims were cared for.

most seriously hurt, being bruised
and burned in a shocking condition,
