by Corouer's jury. The following
is an extract from their verdict.
That the west span Of the bridge
broke FIRST, caused by i,s being cou.

timber that it broke by the actual
weight Of tho train, and that the whole
bridg 70 was considered unsafe by per-
sons not connected with the Northern
Pacific Railway and several uho were
men that We're competent to judge Of
its condition. And ws further find
that the several officials Of the North.
ern Pacific Railway whose duty it was
to make examination of the bridge, as
to its safety, were either incompetent
to judge OF its condition, or were
guilty Of gross neglect in not making
the necessary repairs. And We fur
ther find that tho conductor Of the
said train did not warn tho passengers
Of their danger when he had ample
time to have done 20.
