The heavy rain of Monday night
lput Bayou Pierre out of its banks,
and the swift current, carrying great
quantities of drift against the fine
steel railroad bridge two miles
northwest of Port Gibson, swept
away the middle and northern
spans and the center piers about
noon Tuesday. About 900 feet of
the structure is gone, leaving only
one span and the approaches on
each end.
Early Tuesday morning Messrs.
E. ]. Whelan and ]. ID. Annette
went to the bridge in search of a
boat which had been washed away.
When they reached the bridge they
saw at a glance that il was in a
dangerous condition. the middle
pier having been forced out OF
plumb about IS inches. The south
bound local freight was heard COM
ing and they ran across the bridge
waving their hats to flag the train
which was in charge of Co 'ductor
Bob Stafford. The engineer re-
versed his engine and put OH the
air brakes just in time to ease his
train over the bridge which gave
lnmistakable signs of being under
great strain. The early passen-
ger train was brought over in the
iame way. When the north-bound
