His Life Crushed Out Between Two Ore Cars - Great Falls, Feb. 12--George W. Harrington, aged 35 years, employed by the Montana Central as a switchman, was crushed to death at 11 o'clock tonight while at work in the yards at the Boston and Montana smelters. As a train of cars was being pulled out of the ore sheds, one of them jumped the track and Harrington, who was riding between the derailed car and another, was caught between them. Nearly every bone in his body was broken and he died instantly. Harrington had been employed here about five months. He leaves a wife and baby residing here.
