----------------------------------------------
Leo Reichel, of Minneapolis, was in Havre Tuesday on his way to Cut Bank to investigate what is supposed to be the death of his brother Thomas who was reported to have been killed in a rear end collision west of Cut Bank on Nov. 5th. According to the information Leo Reichel had received previous to his arrival in Havre, his brother, who was a Great Northern Fireman, was off duty and was riding west from Cut Bank in a caboose of a Great Northern freight when the slow going freight was overtaken by a passenger train and the caboose telescoped by the passenger locomotive. The crew of the freight train escaped injury but one solitary passenger was killed beyond recognition by the fire that resulted. Thomas Reichel has not been seen or heard from since the accident and every indication points to the fact that he was the passenger who met death in the accident.
