the crack all-steel coast trains of the
Milwaukee, was wrecked one and one
half miles west of Ingomar, between
Forsyth and Milestone at $50 Wednes-
day morning. The entire train, con-
sisting of engine, one fish car, baggage
and express car, mail Car and eight
passenger coaches left the track on a |
high embankment. The fish car turn
ed completely over and the first day
coach turned over and rolled down
the embankment Two of the pas
sengers in the day coach were serious
ly, probably fatally injured, and 81
others in the same coach received
minor injuries. No serious injuries
were sustained by the passengers in
the other coaches tho they were Sc
verely shaken up. Only one of the
train crew, the express messenger, re-
ceived injuries and in his case they
were only minor ones. A sharp curve
had just been passed and had the &C
cident occurred while rounding the
curve it would undoubtedly have been
more serious.

Number Is, the westbound Olym-
plan, which was running late, was
stopped at Forsyth and carried doc
tors and nurses to the scene of the
accident. The injured received such
relief as could be given them on the
spot and were then taken in a special
train which was made up out of No
Is to Miles City to be cared for at the
Miles City Hospital. Those not in.
jured were sent on from Miles City e
their various destinations.
The train in charge of Conductor
Burbridge with engineer Gundsley a,
the throttle was making it's regular
time of about forty miles per hour
All at once the rails seemed to spread
and it was only the prompt and heroic
action Of the engineer who stayed BY
his post and stopped the train thai
kept a number of the other cars from
leaving the embankment Had 1t moi

a distance of fifty rail lengths ant
thru traffic was suspended for chou

rails giving way. Some criticism ha
