ELECTRIC CAR FALLS THROUGH A BRIDGE.
THREE PEOPLE KILLED AND SEVERAL INJURED
IN PORTLAND ORE

Portland. Ore. April 27.--An electrician on the
Mount Tabor line jumped the track this morning
at East Morrison and Eighth SITS. and plunged
through a bridge into slough twenty-five feet
below. The bodies Of w. w. Blanchard laborer;
Newton Hanson eighteen years old. and an un-
known young woman have been recovered There
were thirtyrfour people in the car when the acct
dent occurred, but 1t is believed that only three
were killed. number badly bruised and cut
by glass in the windows.
The accident occurred the bridge which spans
the slough at the foot of Long Hill When the car
reached East Eleventh-st.. two blocks from the
scene OF the accident. the motorman lost control
of the car, which was then running about fifteen
miles hour down the steep hill When he
realized that the beyond his control the
motorman Jumped and left the car 10 dash down
the incline with its load of passengers. Near the
bottom there is curve In the track. and when the
runaway reached the curve 1t jumped the rails
The car ran about forty feet, and then the bridge
gave way, precpitatng the car into the water
below. The conductor and several passengers
jumped before the crash and escaped with slight
shaking up The passengers were mostly laborers
on their way TO work
The water where the went down was not
more than five feet deep, which enabled most or
the passengers TO escape drowning. Had the acct
dent occurred forty feet further ahead II Is proUa-
BILE that every person on the car would have been
drowned. as the water is fifteen feet deep
