GOD ONLY KNOWS,
This boys story is but one efpcldent; It

to the hundreds who were in the path
OF the rushing water. II is impossible

meagre details,
An eye witness at Bolivar block sta,

ism which occurred at the lower bridge
which crosses the Conemaugh at this
point A man with two women wereseen
coming down the river on a part OF the
floor, At the upper bridge rope was
thrown down to them, This they all
failed to catch. Between the two bridges
1t was noticed TO point towards
tho elder woman which it Is
Supposed was bis mother He was
then seen toinstruct the woman how to
catch the rope which was being lowered
from the other bridge. Down came the
raft with a rush. The brave man stood
with his arms around the two women.
HoRRoIFYINd INCIDENT,
AS they swept under the bridge he
reached up and seized the rope he was
ierked violently away from the two wo.
men, who failed to get hold OF tho rope.
Seeing that they would not be rescued'le
dropped the rope and fell back on the
raft, which tloated down the
river. The current washed their frail
craft In towards the bank. The young
man was enabled to seize hold OF a
branch oil tree and aided tho two
women to get up into tho tree.
He held on with his hands and
rested his feet on a pile Of DRIFT wood.
A piece OF floating debris struck the
DRIFT sweeping 1t away. The man hung
with his body immersed In the
water. A pile OF drift collected
and he was enabled 10 get another
insecure footing, Up tie river there
was sudden crash aud sectien Of the
bridge was swept away and tloated down
the stream striking the tree and washed
away. All three were thrown
into the water and were drowned
before the eyes OF the Mortified specta.
tors just opposite the town OF Bolivar.
Early In the evening woman with her
two children were seen 10 pass
under the bridge at Bolivar
clinging 10 the roof OF q coal
house, A rope was lowered 10 her, but
she shook her head and refused to de
sert the children. It was rumored that
all three were saved at Cokeville, few
miles below Bolivar.
