ASHEVILLE. N. c., April 2s.--Thc an.
nouncement OF foreclosure sale of 90. 900
acres of valuable timber land in the
counties of Rutherford. Mcdowell. Burke
and Cleveland, to take place Mt Ruther-
fordton. N. c.. May 18th, appears to be
the preliminary steps to what may de-
velop into an interesting and perhaps
sensational legal battle between the
Broad River Lumber Company. who re-
Gently purchased this land. and Million-
aire j. Middleby, Jr.. the former owner
of the land.
The Broad River Lumber Company pur-
chased seven months ago this immense
tract OF land thne s;lwmills, traction
engines, mules. oxen, etc. for 100000.
paying $4,000 and giving mortgage
for s150,000. Tho first note was due Feb
ruary l. 1907, for $4,000. This note was
paid. but 1t is alleged that the company
defaulted on the interest, and Mr. Md
dleby seeks to recover by foreclosure
proceedings.
The Broad River Company has notified
Mr.. Middleby in writing that It would
not pay the interest or make any further
payments on the notes under the mort
gage until q re-estimate of the timber
on the land WIS made. claiming deficit
from the stipulated 10o,oO0,0OO feet and
that said deficit should be deducted from
the amount due on the mortgage before
any further payments arc made.
The company will seek temporary
injunction to prohibit the sale under
foreclosure proceedings. alleging that
when the agent estimated the standing
timber at 117.000,000 feet, he was un-
der. the Influence Of liquor.
The Broad River Lumber Company
was organized October IS. 1906, with
capital stock OF 100000. and power to
increase the capital stock to a quarter
of million dollars. c. j. Angle. is

GREAT ARCH FELL
INTO OTTER RIVER.
Tons OF Earth Were Piled High
in the Stream, Damnling
DELAYS RAILROAD WORK
Weight Caused Concrete struc-
tire to Break After Its
Completion.

BEDFORD CITY. VA, April 2s.-About
a hundred feet of the arch of the new
concrete bridge over Little Otter River,
at Lowry. gave away yesterday and foil
in the stream below, carrying with it
many hundred tons OF earth and COM
pletely damning the stream. Upon one
side the bed OF the stream Is dry and
fish and cells were picked up in consid-
erable quantities. Upon the other water
has formed a lake between the steep
banks extending perhaps two miles In
length, menacing the long I'LL with de-
struction and the land with overflow
The arch Is very narrow at the top, with
a thickness OF only about three feet,
while there are seventy feet or moro OF
earth piled upon 1t.
It is supposed that the weight of the
earth caused the thin wall OF the con-
crete arch to succumb, or that there was
fault in the arch belg too narrow at the
top to sustain the immense weight OF
earth. This bridge was constructed by
tors for the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way. for the double tracking operations,
but fortunately was not yet in use.
A large force OF workmen was imme-
diateIy secured at extra pay to open a
tunnel In the wreck for the passage OF
the water, working all night and to-day
without accomplishing their purpose.
Numerous officials of the road and civil
engineers are On the spot, urging on the
work, but the constant sound Of crack
ing concrete and surging water renders
the work dangerous and the men ner-
vo,ls. Tho loss Is vafously estimated at
from a quarter to half-million OF dol
lars beside the delay in completing the
road.
Whete the responsibility for this very
serious accident lies is not yet deter
mined. The work had been accepted by
the road.
All day crowds of people from Bedford
CITY and elsewhere visited the scene OF
the dis1ster and were impressed by tho
cn.nnletenesa OF the wreck.
