but Escape Injury.

Olnaha-St. Louis trainload of excursion

Platte river here and miraculorsly es-
capped injury. The track spread just.
before the train passed upon the bridge
and the rails were torn up. The bridge
partially gave way and the engine and
two coaches toppled and fell into it a
short distance. landing on some of the
under timbers. Those proved strong
enough to support them and the pas
sengers, badly frightened, were able to
climb out Of the windows and doors
and reach solid ground uninjured. The
bridge is 20 feet high where the coaches
struck and the water in the river is
about equally deep.
Trainmen say it seems like miracle
that the entire train Of five coaches, all
Of which were heavily loaded with ex-
cnrsionists, did not go through.
