A Fatal Bridge.

st. Paul-With the head crushed
and both arms and both legs shattered
to splinters, the body OF an unidentified
man was found lying on the railroad
tracks beneath the south end Of the
high bridge at st. Paul. From the
clothes it is apparent that the dead
man was a laborer, and all circum-
stances surrounding his death indicate
suicide
The high bridge which stretches
across the river above the upper flats,
seems to possess a peculiar fascinati IN
for those unfortunates who grow t:
think that life is not worth While.
During the bridges existence thirteen
people have jumped or fallen from its
giddy heights. Three men, two who
fell from the railing Of the bridge, and
one who sought to end his life, lived
to tell the story, but the other ten met
death either in the rushing waters OF
the river or on the hard ground along
the banks.
At it's highest point the high bridge
spans the river at height of $50 feet,
and a fall from any section of it is al
most certain death. For a person
seeking to end his life it is excellently
adapted, for it is an Easy matter to
climb the five-foot iron railing AMI
vault into the river. Twelve victims
Of the bridge have been men and the
thirteenth woman, who was III, Sec
