BILLINGS, Mont., Aug. 10. – A special to the Gazette from Glendive, Mont., says that Pacific coast limited No. 2 on the Northern Pacific was wrecked shortly after leaving Glendive eastbound this evening. The fireman was killed and a half dozen trainmen and passengers were injured. Two miles east of Alard the train, while rounding a curve at full speed, ran into a burned bridge. Every car went into the ditch. The dead:

D. R. MATTHEWS, fireman

Injured:
C. D. Litch, engineer
---- Nelson, express manager
Three passengers names unknown.

All of the passengers injured were in the smoking car.

A relief train with physicians left here at once and the wrecked is being made ready. The burned bridge was about forty feet long and had been built within the last year.
All westbound trains will be delayed from ten to fifteen hours.
