EAST SAGINAW, Mich, April 14.--A
dozen passengers were killed or badly
injured by a pilots carelessness on the
Saginaw river yesterday. The steamer
Handy Boy, with a large number ofpas-
sengers on board, left here in tho after
noon for Bay City. The captain went
below to collect fares and left the wheel
in the hands Of his fireman, Edward
Trump. High water has made the cur
rent in the river unusually rapid and as
the boat swung toward the Flint & Pore
Marquette railroad bridge Trump lost
control OF the wheel and the boat
headed directly for q low span In the
center of the bridge. Those on the'boat
saw their danger, but not until the
bridge had been almost reached. Tho
boat struck the iron girders and passed
partly under, the force OF the blow
sweeping the upper deck, cabin and
passengers into the river.
Passengers below deck escaped with
more or less serious injury, but at least
six who were above were drowned or
killed by the collision. Several died in
the wreckage In sight of those on shore.
At least fourteen persons were thrown
into the river. Only seven we're rescued.
Among the missing are Miss May
Haight, aged twenty-five, and Mrs
Catherine Nevins, mother Of Rev. Fa-
ther Nevins, of Bay City. Captain Dob
son, who was in command, his engineer,
George Little, and Trump, the man at
the wheel, are in Jail, charged with
criminal carelessness. The Handy Boy
