COACH DISASTER,
A Serious Turn-Over on the Helena
and Benton Line.
The Driver Knocked Senseless and Several
passengers More or Less Injured;
Some Seriously.
The most serious accident that has ever
happened on the Helena & Benton stage
line, in fact the only one of any conse
quence, occurred about noon of the 31 at a
point two miles beyond Mitchell's ranch.
The coach left Helena in the morning
heavily loaded with freight and passen
gers; seven passengers on top, and three
ladies, three babies and a gentleman in
side. At the time of the accident they
were driving along at a rapid rate, and
descending a slight grade at the same time
making a little turn, when over -the coach
went, and the outside passengers were
thrown to the ground and those within
terribly shaken up.
The following are the names of those
injured :
Jack- , the driver, spine injured;
was unconscious for some time after being
picked up. His injuries are very serious.
Mrs. Anna Kavanaugh, formerly of
Buttei on her way to Augusta, spine in
jured.
Mrs. Thos. Bryant, Augusta, teeth
knocked out, and otherwise badly bruised.
Mrs. Lyons, Grand Forks, Dakota, left
arm broken.
Wm, Sprague, Sun River, spine injured.
E. B. Treutlen, post office inspector,
bad cut in forehead.
Several other passengers were more or
less injured. One t~au, our informant
satys, was knocked crazy. The babies es
caped without injury. Jessie Sample was
on the coach but was uninjured. The
injured passengers who were unable to
`travel were taken to Mitchell's ranch and
a doctor from Helena was telegraphed for.
Mrs. Lyons was on her way to see her
sick son tt Great Falls, having been tele
graphed for.
There was a lot of apples on board for
G. 'W. 'Orane and it is reported that they
are scattered all over the country. The
hind boot of the coack was torn enitirely
off.
Mr. ''reutlen who came on through says
that-en Saturday last he took out an acci
dentinusurance policy for $5;000. He has
to do considerable railroad travelling, but
ut lthe time did not anticipate astage coach
accident.
A Deserved J.romseion.
Mr. W. E. Belcher, the popular repre
sentative of the Canadian Pacific railway,
who has visited Fort Benton for several
seasons past in the interests of the cattle
traffic of that road, has been promoted to
the position of freight agent at Winnipeg.
He has been stationed at Portage la
Prairie for several years past. The follow
ing from the Manitoban .will show the es
teem in which Mr.. Belcher is held by
those who know hii~::
Mr. W. E. Belcher, of Portage la Prai
rie, has been appointed C. P. R. freight!
agent for Winnipeg, in place of Mr. KD.
Brown, who has -been promoted to the
position of f:eight and passenger agent of
the Pacific division with headquarters at
Vancouver. Mr. Belcher has been :sta
tion agent at Portage la Prairie, where he
is held in the highest estimatfon by'the
people of that town for his excellent !busi
ness and social qualities. He is one of tke
best railroad men on the line, and will be
a good acquisition to the Winnipeg stadf.
He assumes charge of his duties the be
ginning of next month, and will move his'
family to the city at once.
Prior to his departure from Portage la
Prairie the citizens of that place enter
tained him at a dinner, after which he
was presented with a handsome ·sillver
headed cane.
The many friends of Mr. Beleher in
Choteau county wtI. be pleased to shear of
his promotion.
Johalmn-Ford.
Mr. Alex. C. Johnson, of this eity, ~ud
Miss Annie D. Ford, of Sun River, were
married at the residence of the bride's
mother on Sun River, Wednesday, by the
Rev. H. E. Clowes.
The bride is a beautiful and aceom
iAshed young lady, well known to the
people of Fort Benton, and is a sister of
Mrs. Jos. S. Hill. Mr. Johnson is one of
our successful business men and highly
esteemed in this community. The RlvRw
PREss joins with other friends of the hap
PY couple in offering its congratulations.
After the wedding the newly married pair
took the coach for Helena, and will make
a short trip to the Pacific coast.
The Grain Produet.
W. O. Dexter reports a great falling off
in the grain crop this year. He says,
judging from the work done by his
thresher, the average will be about one
tifth of previous years. Several crops
Where water could be used were about
One-half, while others would not pay for
setting the machine. Fromin all ppear-.
anees there will not be grain enough for
seed next spring. Other crops: sow a
great falling off, Taking It all.round,

McGIll Ahead.
ST. PAUL, November 5.-At midnight,
with the returns from 65 of the eighty
counties, and pretty complete returns from
most of them, the Pioneer Press figures
McGill's majority at 2,874. The Globe
still claims the election of Ames, though
not giving the exact figures. A largely
attended mass meeting was held by the
democrats at Minneapolis to-night to pro
test against Ames being counted out. A
considerable sum was raised to protect his
rights in this respect.
LATER.-Returns have not been received
from all the counties yet and both demo
crats and republicans claim the state, the
former by from 5,000 to 7,000 and the lat
ter by 2,500. The official count will be
required to determine the result.
ST. PAUL, November 6.-The result on
governor in Minnesota is still in doubt.
All but three.counties have sent in official
returns and McGill leads by 600. The un
heard from counties may change the re
sult and yet elect Ames, but the chances
are in favor of McGill. The democrats
made a large gain in the legislature.
Dakota returns Delegate Gifford to con
gress by from 10.000 to 15,000 majority.
ST. PAUL, November 8.-The Pioneer
Press has official returns by wire from all
counties in the state, making McGill's ma,
jority 2,314.
Springer Elected,
CaHIC.,o, November 5.-The Daily
News, Springfield, Ill., special says: The
official count of the vote for congressman
in this tenth district, shows a majority of

California Democratic.
; SAN FRANCISCO, November 5.-The cont
; plete returns of this city and the almost
complete returns of the state give Bartlett,
the democratic candidate for governor, 302
plurality over Swift (rep.) Bartlett's plu
rality in the city is 2.282. If the remain
ing county returns improve for Swift the
official count will be necessary.
