Nv United Press Leased Wire

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 90. - Five
children and the assistant principal
of the Howard school, 10 miles from
Forsyth, Mont, were killed late yes
terday on their way home from
school when their ear was struck
by freight train. Three other
children were injured.
The accident occurred at a grade
crossing apparently because Mrs.
Ralph Abbott, the teacher, did not
see the train due to the visual OBJ
struction OF storm curtains attached
to her machine. Taking the children
home from school, she had stopped
at the crossing to wait for an auto
mobile going west After it had

directly in front of the train.
The automobile was carried more
than 500 yards down the track,

rett of Potomac, civil engineer, who
is a witness for Alexandria in the an
neXation suit against Arlington County,
was completed here today by Col.
Charles T. Jesse of the counsel for the
county.
Mr.. Garrett refused to answer many
of the questions asked him by Col.

animation Judge E. w. HudginS Sug-
gested to both Col. Jesse and Mr.. Gar
rctt that they be more courteous to
each other. Both arose, and addressing

no attempts to be discourteous.

petition had been executed and was
ready for presentation to Judge Howard
w. Smith of Circuit Court for an order
to hold an election for bond issue to
raise funds to install sewers in every
section of the county.
Col. Jesse asked the witness II he
knew the number of water mains shown
on his map, which was introduced pre-
viously TO show the water conditions In
the county or if he knew when the
construction of the water system was
started. He testified that he did not
know the answer to either question, al
though he admitted that he made the
map from personal inspection OF the
ground at the time the mains were
laid.
Upon the request of Col. Jesse he put
on display his map of the road lights
and schools located in Arlington County,
but said he did not know the approx
mate number of lights his map showed.
He admitted that several errors were
made in showing the schools in the
county, and that several schools were
left off the map.
Albert v. Bryan of the counsel for
Alexandria said today that the presen-
tation of AleXandria's side of the case
would take approximately two more days.
He stated the city would call six more
witnesses to the stand.
