DIXON, ILL.,, May A terrible accident, in
vOlving fearful loss of life occurred here this
afternoon. The nte Of baptism was being
administered at a point In Rock river just
below the Truesdall iron bridge, and about
two hundred persons, including many ladies
and children, had gathered on the bridge to
witness the ceremony. Suddenly, without
warning, the bridge gave way and pTeeipaated
the living freight into the stream below. The
scene which ensued was indescribably terrible
as the struggling victims valhly endeavored
to free themselves from the ruins Of the bridge
and from each other.
| Large crowds OF people on the banks rushed
wildly to and fro, many of them so distracted
with terror as to be unable to render any as
sistance. Others more self-pOssessed, sreedl
ly brought ropes, planks, and boats and wen
nObly to work to rescue the living aud Tecove
the dead Some OF those who were on tn
bridge when 1t fell were SO near the end
that they were able to reach land without as
sistance.
Up to o'clock p. II. thirty-twO dead bodie
had been taken from the river, and it is al
most certain that there are others still unde
the wreck of the bridge. OF those saveC
twenty-fOur were more or less injured, SON
fatally.
