Charleston. w. Va, Dec. 17.-Three
persons are known to have been killed
and five others seriously injured by the
collapse of the suspension bridge across
the Elk river which connects East and
West Charleston.
At the time the bridge went down
there were six teams and six children
on their way to school and a number
of other pedestrians on the structure

aged to reach land.
Those who went down with the
wreckage fell q distance of forty feet
into the ice covered waters of the Elk
river. The depth of the river at this
point is variously estimated at from
ten to twenty feet, and when the iron
and lumber wreckage struck the ice it
broke into fragments and those killed
and several of the injured were thrown
into the water or swept under the ice
farther down the stream.
The news of the accident caused great
excitement, and crowds gathered on
both banks of the river.
The steamer Baxter broke the ice to
allow small boats to reach the scene
and the rescue work began imme-
diately.
The injured We're first assisted to the
shore, and later a esarch was made OF
the river for dead bodies. The bodies
of Mamie Higginbotham, Ollie Gibbs
and Annie Humphreys We're taken out
ard the search continued until night
fall but no others were found.
The accident was caused by two
cables on the north side slipping from
their moorings. When that side
dropped another cable on the other side
snapped. the floor tilted and turned
completely over.
During the civil war the cable of this
bridge was cut by General Wise when
he evacuated Charleston, the bridge a,

The same cable was afterward spliced
and has been in use ever since.
