i Considerable damage was done In

the approaches to the bridge, but
public minded citizens who worked
faithfully on Saturday succeeded ir
averting serious harm.
Last Monday morning Dar
Brown met with an accident which
might have been very serious, though
Dan escaped without injury. A
company of young men, among
them Mr.. Brown, went in swimming
just above the wagon bridge, anc
the party was a very merry one un
til Dan, more venturesome than thu
rest, tried to swim to the middle
pier OF the bridge, and missed it. HI
was caught by the current and
borne rapidly down stream in spite
of all hie efforts. Phil. Loucks, an
other member Of the party, swan
after him, the rest OF the young men
following along the bank ready to
assist him at tho first opportunity
Dan was carried down stream
about a quarter of mile and then
succeeded in landing on a small H.
land, and was ont Of danger. The
suspense, though not long, was
very trying to the friends and rela'
tives who watched him from the
shore.
