rowly escaped destruction by fire yesterday
morning. The discovery of the impending
danger was discovered just as the train due
here from Minneapolis at 1885 neared the
bridge. Smoke was seen to ascend from the
semi-circular box-truss of the draw, and an
immediate alarm was given. Even before this
word in some way had reached Fort Smelling,
and Gen. Gibbons had dispatched a number of
soldiers to assist in putting out the fire. Mean
while the train had moved up to the draw, and
it was found that the flames had pretty good
hold on the box-t truss, Axes we're brought in
to reGuisition, and the soldiers being supplied
with buckets. water was taken from the tank
of the locomotive, the fire was reached and one
hundred buckets of water quenched the
flames. There was considerable anxiety and
excitement about the affair, and the bridge
might have proved total loss had it not been
for the prompt efficiency of the Fort Smelling
soldiers.
