THE old BRIDGE
ONE IMMoRTALIZED BY LONG.
FELLOW REPLACED BY NEW.
Massive Granite Structure at Cam
bridge Which Takes the Place
OF One on Which the Poet
Stood at Midnight.

Could the spirit of Longfellow re-
turn it perhaps would be disquieted by
the disappearance Of the old bridge
where the poet loved to linger in the
still hours of the night and watch the
ebb and flow of the tide and listen to
the ripping Of the waters, for the old
structure which was immortalized in
the poem has given place to a modern
structure Of massive granite which
has Just been dedicated by the people
OF Cambridge. Mass. The new bridge,
with its towers and abutments, its
arches and its piers. bears little re-
semblance to the historic old West
Boston bridge. whose place It takes.
1t was seven years ago. almost to a
day, that the first stroke Of work was
done which was to yield the best
bridge in Massachusetts,.
The new bridge. while not so long
as Harvard bridge by some 200 feet. is
Of greater masslveness and soidity.
The length over all, including the ap-
proaches, is 300 feet; subtracting
the space taken up by the approaches.
the length of the bridge proper is
$500 feet. and its width 105 feet. The
arch Of the bridge is divided into IL
spans, varying in length. The large
center span, through span. which is
1855 feet long. down to those on each
end. which are IO15 feet in length.
The large center span, through which
al vessels pass. has a Roadway OF %
feet at high tide for a space so feet
IN width. thus allowing tugs, barges
and vessels with telescope" masts 70
pass through easily.
The center span. with its four mas
sive towers Of granite. is a new de
parturc IA bridge building. and like
all new things, these towers have
been freely criticized from an archi-
tectural standpoint The bridge is,
however. as Mr.. Jackson. the engineer,
puts IT, an engineers bridge"
Each OF the granite ccnterpieces is
elaborately carved. On the Boston
side is the city seal on both inner and
outer face. while The seal OF Cambridge
is carved on thc faces of the Cam
bridge side OF tho center span.
The two stone abutmcuts are hol-
low, construction which greatly les
sens The weight of the structure. In
fact. from end 90 end the bridge has
been built with a view above all 20
strength and durability. as far as this
did not dcT2ct from architectural
standards. The cost OF the bridge
amounted To little over S2.500.O0O.
The old West Boston bridge. which
was torn down TO be replaced 10y tho
new one. was landmark of consider

CHICKENS CAME HIGH
Man Who Stole Nine Fowls Dropped
Purse Containing 5000.

OttGmwa, Sept. 13.-An Ottumwa
woman has just disposed of nine
chickens, the plainest sort of barnyard
fowls, for a little over 5000 for the lot
The purchaser of the chickens thought
he was getting them at bargain, in
fact, when he carried them off he dill
not suppose for even second that
they would ever cost him a cent.
Both the woman and the man were
unintentional parties to the transac-
ton, and while the woman is decidedly
pleased with her end of the bargain
there is little question but that the
man is much set back over what he
supposed would be a free chicken
feast.
Just who the parties are the police
refuse to say, but here is the story as
it reached them:
A few days ago the woman, who
lives near the Garfield school in the
east end Of the city, missed couple
of her chickens over night. Another
night OF two passed without incident
but then came the surprise, for on"
morning when the woman went to feed
her pets they failed to respond to her
call, and an investigation of the chick
en- house revealed the fact that all the
chickens were gone.
However, nearby the woman discov
cred pocketbook containing a little
over 5000 in currency. Joyfully she
picked it up and excitedly counted the
money. Here was revenge that was
sweet indeed

FAMILY SEEKING DAMAGES
Coroner's Jury Held Ono Broe<els
Guilty Of Crime in Giving Liquor to
Thomas Peterson-Damase Suit
Hats Divorce Proceedings Between
BrockeIs and His Wife.
to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Sept 13-The trial OF
the case in which the estate of the late
Thomas Peterson is plaintiff, and Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Brockel, prominent
farmers in Worth county, are defend
ants. is soon to be tried in the DISTRICT
court. The plaintiffs ask damages
from Mr. and Mrs. Brockel in the sum
OF $4,000 for the death of Peterson,
for which, according to coroner's
Jury. they are held responsible.
Peterson, a young farmer, living on
the line between this county and
Worth county, accepted a visit SOME
three months ago of Brockel to his
home, where the night was spent In
a debauch. Peterson was found dead
the next morning, near the Brockel
residence, and a coroner's jury found
that he died from alcoholism, and held
Brockel responsible for furnishing the
LIQUOR Now the estate is bringing
suit for damages for Petersons life.
Brockel has been in bad repute for
some time in the vicinity of his home,
because of his alleged beastly conduct
and addiction to drink. He, it will be
remembered, was arrested and lodged
in Jail in Lake Mills not long ago. for
beating his wife in the streets of that
place, because she refused to remain
in town awhile longer. Mrs. Prockel
followed the arrest by filing bill for
divorce. Now the Peterson estate
has stepped in, asking large damages
before the divorce proceedings result
in a division of the property, in case
Mrs. Brockel should win her suit.

Grundy Center, Sept. 13.-The Grun-
dy county fair closed the most sue
cessflll session in it's history yesterday
afternoon. Altho it was the closing
day and the people were late in com
ing in, yet a good crowd was present.
The weather was again propitious and
the entertainment good While a driv-
erless race horse was making, an exhi-
bition race, some bystander, thinking
it was running away, tried to stop 1t
and ran it into the crowd and it ran
around and around thru the crowd,
surrounding the ball game. Before it
could be stopped it had injured an old
man and woman and young boy.
During the pacing race, Honest Jim,
owned by Ed Cole of this place, had
ain accident and wheel came off the
sulky, the horse keeping on clear
around the track, kicking the sulky to
pieces, until caught near the wire by
Lewis PLACER.
The base ball game between Alice
and Fern was interesting except dur
ing one inning, and resulted in. a score
of z to in favor of Alice Palmer
pitched for Fern and Cornell for

The Grundy Center band furnished
the music for the fair, and gave good
satisfaction. The receipts have been

ance.

he was out to buy chickens.
Anxious that the would-be chicken
buyer should have every bit of inform
alton he desired the woman escorted
him around the house to the chicken
yard. Sight of 1t inspired him to the
minutest investigation. He examined
every inch of the ground about the
chicken house, every little corner of
the coop itself, and even went so far
as to examine part of the yards adj
joining on either side.
Even this did not thoroughly satisfy
him, and he finally went away with a
sorely disappointed expression playing
over his countenance. while the wom-
