MOXEE BRIDGE GOES OUT.
Ice and Water Garry Away 1O2 Feet
Of Structure.

About 1902 feet Of the temporary
eastern approach Of the Mckee bridge
has again been wasaed out. Early
Friday morning about 80 feet went
out and the balance later in the day.
Information late last evening was
that the river was rising and there
was quite an ice jam at the bridge.
1t was expected the remainder Of the
bridge would be washed out before
morning. The ice and snow is melt
ing and the river is steadily rising.
The river has gained such height in
some places that the county roads
are covered with water, and travel
ing is almost impossible.
This Is the third time since No
vember that the Mckee bridge has
been washed out. The commission
ers contend that 1t is on account Of
false work and that loss will fall on
the contractor.
Until the bridge is put in shape
for travel the people in the Mckee
are practically cut on from the out
side world, and the only means of
getting into this valley is by way of
Old Town. This road Is not suitable
for heavy travel at this time Of the
year, such as lumber and hay. Then
again It is about nine miles longer
and in some places along the road
two teams are unable to pass. making
travel very difficult.
There is considerable hay in the
Mckee ami a large crop Of potatoes
which have not been sold as yet, and
until the bridge is ready for travel
so that these commodities can be
moved easily they will not be brought
into this city.

Cleveland, O.. Sept. develop
ments in the investigation into the
cause of the death Of John r. Phil
lips, the coal operator. banker. broker
and club man, came thick and fast to-
day, and took a sensational turn late
this afternoon, when Mrs. Phillips,
widow of the deceased. was taken into
custody by Chief of Police S~tamburger
at the aristocratic suburb of East
Cleveland.
Mrs. Phillips has been in a highly
nervous state since the tragedy early
Monday morning, after which the an
nounccment IA made that her hus-
band had been shot n MORALLY

she collapsed and was unable to at
tend the funeral, which took place
from the family home, with only the

the widow into custody. The cher
stated tina four deputies would guard
the woman in her home until she had
sufficiently recovered TO be taken be-
fore a Justice OF the peace for a pre-.
liminary hearing.
The police are very reticcnt concerns
ing the case and refuge TO say whether
they believe Mrs. Phillips is guilty IF
the murder of her husband, or
whether they merely believe that she
can give some facts which viii throw
light o nthe mystery surrounding the
tragedy.
The inquest into the death Of Phil
lips was held this morning by Deputy
Coroner Houck. DIR. q. l.. Richarl-
son was the first witness to testify at
the hearing. The physician testified
that he had not been summoned to at
