CRASH IN DEEP CU T. . .
* Missoula, Mont., Oct. 12.— One e f
the worst freight wrecks which has oc

of the Northern Paeifle in mapy years,
from the standpoint of delayed traffic,
took place at an early hour this morn

Mont. Freight can loaded with ex
port shipments for the Orient, were
piled 50 feet high, end the wreckage of
two trains is scattered along the track
for a considerable distance.
Traffic was brought to a complete
standstill, and no trains were able to
pass tbs scene of the wreck for 18
hours. One of the train crew. Fireman
Bowman, of an extra east bound freight,
was instantly kitted, and two othar
trainmen were hurt, though not seri
ously.
The accident w as due to a mistake
in construing the orders on the part of
the engineer of the eastbound freight.
He had orders to meet three sections of
No. 53 freight, west bound, on the sid
ing at Big Bend. The third section had
passed the extra ahead of the original
second section. As the number of the
engine of this second section corre
sponded'to the engine tappoeed to be
pulling the third section, as given in
the orders, the extra’ s engineer putted
out.
The extra met the original eecond

has mm taken to confiscating United

the mail carried on the steamer
Calchas, and the act baa caused a pro
test to be made by the owner* and
agents of the steamer, which has been
filed with the post office department at
Washirgton. Alfred H olt A Co., the
owners of tb* Calchas, also give notice
that daring the duration of the war
they w ill carry no more United Statee

The latest move of the Russians w ill
probably involve them deeper than any
of their othar arbitrary A ts since the

else.
The particulars of the Calchas affair
were forwarded by D xlw ell A Co.; the

“ We have just sent the following tel

“ 'The Calchas is one of the icgular

“ 'W e hope the United States gov
