BRIDGE ACCIDENT.
Woman Narrowly Escapes Death
on Structure Near
Milan.
CAUGHT BY PASSING TRAIN
Was With Young Man and Young Wo
man-AlI Refused to Give
Their Names.

An aged woman, who. with two COM
panions, was crossing the railway
bridges over Rock river, narrowly es-
capped death yesterday afternoon, when
caught on the bridge by the Peoria
train which leaves Rock Island at 1870
O'Clock. The woman, who appeared to
be about 65 years of age. was with a
younger woman, who seemed TO be her
daughter, and a man, either her son or
son-in-law. They were about go feet
from the north end of the bridge when
the train reached the bridge. Instead
of stepping to the chain bars on the
extreme edge of the bridge. they re-
manned on the edge of the ties, and at
tempted to avoid being struck by
STOPPING. The engine passed without
striking any of the three, but the elder
~ woman was caught by the truss rod
of the baggage car. She was thrown
backwards, and only the quick. heroic
action OF the younger woman prevent
ed her from being pitched headlong
backwards into the rapid stream. The
younger woman caught her mother by
the feet. as she fell backwards. and
managed to retain her hold until sew
eral men who were in the smoker and
had Witnessed the incident could come
10 her assistance.
Gave Wrong Signal.
The man in the party. instead of as
sisting to raise the old lady from her
perilous position. ran ahead and at
tempted to give the engineer a signal
10 stop. Instead, he gave the signal
to go ahead, and it was some seconds
before the engineer noticed what was
wrong. and stopped the train. In the
meantime the woman's position was
serious She was thrown backwards,
and her head and shoulders were below
the edge of the bridge. She was hold
ing tightly to an umbrella and a peck
etbook and with the other hand reach
ing wildly for something to help raise
herself. She was raised with difficulty
and the train slowly moved ahead. She
was somewhat bruised. and greatly
frightened, but otherwise the ONLY
damage was the loss of the umbrella
and pocketboOk, which fell into the
river. She refused to give her name. as
did her companions. but said that they
were on their way TO a camp nearby
on the island. None of the campers
who witnessed the accident could iden-
tlfy any of the three, and the conduC-
tor was compelled to make his report
with merely a description.

possibility remains that she is having
