ing of one of the spans of the suspen-
sion tramway across the Truckee river
at Slaughton Springs, five miles west
Of this city, at two o'clock yesterday,
four young people-Maurice Jacobs,
q young business man of this city;
Miss Nina Mcmillan, daughter of o
prominent business man Of Reno; Mrs.
e. S. EIDE, Jr, and c. T. Tilsman, OF
Chicago-were precipitated from the
car into the swollen stream and
drowned. The accident was witnessed
by Fred Coleman, of San Francisco,
who was unable to render any assist
ance. The tramway consists of two
steel cables stretched across the river
upon which a car runs which is much
used by pleasure seekers. Yesterday
the four young people entered the car
to cross the river. When they reached
midstream one of the strands parted.
One piercing shrek was heard and the
four were observed for a few moments
struggling in the rapids. Both young
men were athletes and gave up their
lives in an heroic effort to save their
companions. Mr.. Jacobs was seen for
a few moments swimming with Miss
Mcmillan, holding her above water,
when in her terror she grasped his
arms and both went down. Tilsman
swan for 200 yards, holding Mrs. Ede's
head above water, then was seen to
turn on his back, when the woman
seized him and bore the swimmer be-
meath the water. There was no time
that the two young men could not
apparently have saved themselves, al
though at the place where the accident
occurred there are swift rapids, the
water seething and boiling over great
rocks.
Hundreds of people searched for the
bodies of the victims of the accident,
but up to late hour last night only
one had been recovered. Under the
direction of Chief of Police Leoper
electric lights were strung across
the river at intervals for several miles
and nets placed.
