Wagon Bridge Collapsed.

A wagon bridge across Big Bear
creek, located about two miles
above Kendrick, collapsed Thurs
day morning while Ed Barker and
Joseph Campbell were driving
across it with load Of wood, AS
a result Campbell was taken out of
the wreck dead and Baker badly
bruised.
The bridge span is about 80 feet,
and y feet above water, and in the
January flood was damaged, but
never repaired, although being used
daily. The wagon had reached the
center of the bridge when the
needle beam gave way throwing the
entire weight of the bridge onto a
stringer which was far from being
sound. 1t broke in the center and
the wagon landed in the stream,
bottom side up. Ed Barker, who
was driving, managed to extricate
himself with considerable difficulty.
Joe Campbell was less fortunate.
He was buried under the whole
load of wood, and breathed his last
Just as the men were taking him
out. He had struck his head on a
rock and was pinned face down in
the water. The team was badly
scratched, and BarkeI's escape is
considered miraculous. Joe Camp
bell was man about 80 years of
age, and was in the hospital at
Moscow during the winter. He was
merely riding to town with Mr..
Barker. He was unmarried, and
has no relatives that are known.
Mrs. Bowers, while on her way to
town to get aid for Campbell, fell
and dislocated her right arm.
The bridge is located on a pri-
vate road leading from the Grimes

Ravages of the Hessian Fly.

Some OF the farmers who have
fall grain in the3 vicinity of Far
mington are complaining of the
damage being done to their crops
by the Hessian fly (Cecidomyia
destructor). This is dipterous or
two-winged insect, the larva of
which often proves extremely des-
tructive to wheat in this country.
1t is black with dusky wings. dark
er at the base, pale-brown legs, with
black and hairy antennae. There
are two distinct broods each year,
the larva of one brood living at the
roots of the plants throughout the
winter, while those Of the other are
found in the lower joints of the
straw about the end of spring or
beginning of summer.
The roots of the wheat affected
by the Hessian fly are found to be
decaycd or moldy, while the blades
and stalks are partly wiIted and
shrive!ed. The plant has a sickly
appearance at first, and it soon
withers and dies
Thus far only the fall sown grain
seems to suffer from the effects of
the insect, but it is already evident
that the yield Ofgrain in that vcin-
ity will be somewhat reduced on ac-
count of this destructive pest.

not liable for damage or for the ac-
cident. The parties using the road
had failed to repair the bridge, al.
though it was known that the
floods of January had damaged and
weakened the structure Mirror.

tiff in civil action against Harry

for the fracas it seemed was that
Mr.. Bumgartner construed the ac.

too much liberty, and at the close
of the examination Mr. Bumgarner
stepped outside Of the Justices of

committing an assault without
