Several Lives Lost.
EAST SAGINAW, MICH, Oct. 2S, 9 p. NJ.
AT $3.50 O'Clock this morning fire broke
out on the tug Mcdonald, lying at dock
about 100 feet south Of the Genesee
avenue bridge. A large number of,people
were congregated on the bridge, when a
piece of sidewalk on the bridge, feet
wide and Al feet long, containing about
so people, gave way with crash and pre-
cipitated them into the river, 10 to Is feet
deep, with a strong current. The night
was cloudy and dark.
SOME LIVES LOST.
The greater number were saved. Many,
however, were badly bruised. The river
ia now being dragged. The body of Sid
ney Fa!lOn, aged years, has been brought
up. 1t is thought that several persisted,
as II or l3 are missing.
James T. Waits was rescued, but is
badly hurt.
John Rothenburg is injured about the
legs.
George A. Irwin was slightly injured.
+. d. Cowles, managing editor of the
Courier, was standing on the extreme
further point Of the bridge when it went
down. He could not swim a stroke and
was dragged by the struggling people to
the bottom of the river, but got clear and
drifting down chung to spite until res
cued. He is but slightly hurt
