Crawford avalanche., 1896-03-05

for the east over the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern tracks to Clinton,
via Columbus Junction and West Liberty.
Another result Of the accident was the
shutting down of the street car system Of
Davenport.
One workman was injured, Bert Kus-
tard, a Swede, having both legs broken.
A train of cars loaded with sand occupied
the bridge at the time for the purpose of
adding to its stability by it's weight, but
was TO have been removed in a few min
utes to permit the freely passenger to
cross. The latter train stood upon the
sound portion of the bridge when the
drawspan went down, and hastily backed
to a safer location in time to save passen-
gers from anything worse than a bad
fright.
The Phoenix Bridge Company was re-
building the bridge and widening its upper
deck so as to allow the Rock Island road
double track, the Government and the
road sharing the expense. Residents who
know the terrible impact of the ice at the
spring breakup have shaken their heads
and speculated upon what would happen
when the ice came down against the false
work that upheld the drawspan. Work on
this span was being hurried so that 1t
could be swung for the first boat after
navigation opened, but the predictions of
the wiseacres came true. A fve-foot rise
was followed by a movement of the ice
that snapped the heavy timbers upholding
the span like so many toothpicks and ut
terly wrecked the draw. The ice field,
having done its work, moved down the
river. The Phoenix Company estimates
its loss at $4,000.
