Local People All At Home. • Last Saturday Geyser received word that two fast trains which pass thru here about noon had a collision at a small station just this side of Great Falls and to make matters worse no definite word could be obtained of the disaster, until the next day it was learned the report was true but for- tunately was not as bad as had been anticipated. Orders had been issued from the ! dispatcher's office in the Falls two trains to pass at Swift, a station about midway between Great Falls and Belt. The engine and train crew of the east bound train 'had received these orders and were hurrying to- wards the meeting point but through someone's error, presumed to have been that of the telegraph operator at Belt, similar orders svere,not delivered to the engineer and conductor of the west bound train. Wholly unawire of the existence of orders for such a meet the engineer of the west bound train had driven his train through Swift and on towards minor nature.
