Went Through the Bridge.

On Monday morning an eighteen horse
power threshing engine cashed through
the southeast end Of the approach to the
bridge crossing the Pembina river. Four
stringers on the east side of the bridge
gave way and the engine fell downwards
about ten feet, turning completely bot
tom up on the ground below at the side
Of the bridge. The fireman jumped
clear but the engineer, who, when he
heard the crack, reached for the throttle
to turn on more steam in the hope of
running over the danger, but it was too
late, and he was carried down with the
engine, but fortunately and almost mirac-
ulously he crawled out from under the
debris almost wholly unhurt. The en-
CINE landed on soft ground and except
for some of the smaller attachments was
not much damaged and repairs were tele-
graphed for, and on Wednesday morn
ing steamed away to the Reese place
near the fort to go to work again. The
bridge was repaired on the day of the
accident. The broken stringers showed
that while the outside surface was APP.
parently sound, the inside was thorough.
ly rotten and would have broken down
SOM with perhaps much lighter load.
An examination of the bridge shows that
while the most of the remaining ap.
proaches are in good condition, yet there
are one or two weak spots, but that
much of the wood work of the main
bridge is in very bad condition is quite
visible to the most casual observer. II
will doubtless be overhauled during the
coming winter by the county commits
sloners. The engine belonged to Chas
Weiderman, of this township, and the
loss in breakage and delay will be a,
least 5000.
