A runaway freight train on the Northern Pacific crashed into the stub train on the same road that runs be tween Garrison and Helena, .vrecked it completely, set fire to it and up to 3 o'clock this morning four, whose identity has been learned, were known to be dead, with a probability that two more whose names it was impossi ble to learn, may have been burned in the wreck. The known dead are J. S. Robinson, of Missoula; Charles Brickie,conductor of the passenger, who lives in the Sixth ward: J. A. Jessup, the express messenger of Helena: Foster Senecal, of Elliston. The injured are Ernest Rossman, Helena; Mrs. Anderson; A. C. Light hall, Oakland, Cal.; George Young, Deputy U. S. marshal, Helena; Ed ward Brown, Helena; Unknown woman. The story of the accident as gained of ! I j ! j I i i last night shows it to have been a j most remarkable one. The stub train j passed through Austin, about eight | miles west of Helena on time. Follow ing it was a long freight train made up of box cars loaded with lumber and shingles. At Austin the engine was uncoupled from tiie freight to take water and the train was left standing on the track. There is a steep grade east of Aus- [ tin, and by some means the freight train got started down the hill. As it went it gained momentum but kept the rails. The passenger train, when it arriv ed at the Montana Central crossing, where all trains slow up, stopped, when the engineer heard a sound be hind him that warned him of danger. He started his train, hut it had gone but a few feet when the freight crashed j ■GCfctiekAÀBt We will send the Rosebud County News one year together with any of the following list for the price follow ing each item.

St. Valentine's Day of Next Wednesday is Valentine's day ! and there will probably be the usual number who will "feed fat the ancient j grudge they bear" someone by sending him a supposedly comic valentine—one of the order we see now on display in the various store windows. The cow ardly spirit that can find satisfation in the sending of a comic valentine and secretly gloating ovev the discomfiture of the recipient, will, if given more power give vent to revenge in the same ! underhanded sneak thief style on a I larger scale. To be sure there may be j certain simple minded people who ! would take it all as a pleasant joke j that is the sending. But reason as I you will there is but one of two con i elusions at which to arrive in the judge ment of a person guilty of sending atiy i one one of the horrible comic valentine caricature—either he is exceedingly puerile minded or there is in his char acter a strain of that element that fights its enemies from behind, stealing upon them under cover of darkness. The former is inexcusable the latter is villainous. The man who in the passion of his anger strikes his foe when he meets him, face to face, is not to be feared; it is the crawling, cring j ing, plotting one the one who possesses j the "sending of the comic valentine | spirit" grown from its embryonic stage as such to full p.ower. A Rousing Meeting Held A rousing meeting of the Forsyth Business Men's association was held last night at the court house and [ was largelj- attended. Important mat ters were discussed among which was the matter of a wool warehouse at Forsyth, also a registration office here, details of which are given in another column of this issue. The committee on irrigation reported that they had looked into the matter of extending the Sanders government ditch over the big Howard flat; that they had taken the matter up with the general superin tendent of irrigation projects in Mon ta,la that in their estimation the matter would be reported favorably, providing- the association would pro *'^e means of defraying the expense of running the corrected line of the ditch s0 :is cover all of the available ground in the Howard bottom. In ihis connection they interviewed a majority • J of the ranchmen who would be bene fitted by this ditch, and who expressed their willingness to contribute about $175 toward this fund. Mr. Taber es «mated the cost of the undertaking at $300, thus leaving a deficit of Sl2.s to made up. 1 be committee were in structed to continue their solicitations and report at the next meeting. None of the committee on membership being present, but it having been ascertained that they would be ready to report at the next meeting, they were given fur ther time. The association is doing good work and increased interest is being- manifested. Bound for the Sunny South While you are reading this issue of the News the editor and wife will be enroute to the balmy, sun-kissed shores of California for a two weeks vacation. This trip is made possible by Senator Clark having extended the courtesies of his road, from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, Cal., to the members of the Montana Press association; the secretary of the association having been successful in negotiating for transportation over the Oregon Short Short Line from Butte to .Salt Lake City, and most Montana editors having advertising arrangement with theN. P. and G. N. railroads in Montana, thus the expense of the trip is reduced to a minimum to all members of the asso ciation in good standing. be ously as ly ing syth is get the but the to We believe! that a short vacation will do us good j and that afterwards vve can return to. work with renewed vigor. Therefore vve take this vacation and are glad of thé opportunity, more especially as it promise^ to be an interesting and in structive trip. During our absence Rev. T. S.

' > _ Their Trip a Success Thos. E. Hammond and J. E. Ed wards returned Sunday morning from their trip east and report their mission as having been productive of results. While a registry office is not absolute ly assured at Forsyth, we have the commissioner's word for it that the offices will be placed in towns afford ing the best advantages and situated nearest to the reservation, and as For syth meets with these requirements it is a foregone conclusion that we will get the registry office. In regard^ to the wool warehouse, when Messrs. Hammond and Edwards first ap proached the N. P. officials on the subject they met with a chilly breeze, but after the exact situation was fully explained, the officials warmed up to the subject and before they left St. Paul Messrs Hammond and Edwards were informed that the N. P. was in clined to look favorably upon the prop osition and said that if they continued to maintain warehouses they would establish one at Forsyth, and said they would inform definitely within the week. Let us hope that the informa tion will be favorable. The Original Flying Machine Was not a success.
