Marks an Epoch
The construct OH of the oig bridge
across the Columbia marks an epoch
in the history OF Northern Washing
ton. This is the Erst wagon bridge
ever built across that mighty
stream. The s'cry of its conStfuc
tion is an interesting one. Two years
ago the idea of wagon bridge across
the Columbia at this place was re-
garded as an impossibility by many
people, The first move made toward
that they decided after returning to
their home in Sterling, Kansas, to
sell their property there and return
here Immediately to live. A son, Mr..
Jacob Swearingen, was carried away
with the reports they brought east
and also decided to cast his lot in
Wenatchee.
His impending marriage was there
fore set for an earlier date than
planned that he and his bride might
accompany the father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. A. Swearingen, to the
west
The wedding occurred on Thanks
giving day. and soon thereafter prep
arations to leave their old home for
the new one were completed, and
young Jacob Swearingen left with
the household goods to meet the rest
of the party-father, mother and
wife-in Wenatchee, in time to spend
Christmas together.
The train he was on arrived In
Denver at night, and while attempt
ing to change cars Mr.. Swearingen
stepped in front of an incoming pas
senger train and was instantly killed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swearingen were al
ready on the way, and the message
of the accident came to his sister,
Mrs. Walter Buttles, whose sad duty
it was to tell the dear ones the It'd
ings when they arrived Saturday
night. The young wife is utterly
prostrated with grief, and though
they are strangers here the sympathy
of the entire community goes out 20
them in their great sorrow. The BODY
of Mr.. Swearingen will be brought
here Tor burial. =

STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

The immediate cause of the stock market
break yesterday, the seVerest since March. was
the report from San Francisco that President
Hartman had issued orders for retrenchment on
the Union Pacific system which would involve
the discharging Of 10000 men. This report
denied by Mr.. Hartman. but before the end
of the first hour Union Pacific had dropped TO
11STs, four points lower than Fridays last price
and anew low record figure for the year; and
many other issues had reached new low levels
for 1907 among them United states Steel COM
mon and preferred, Western Union, Amagamat-
ed Copper and American Smelling and Refining
common. London is ordinarily inactive in this
market Saturday but yesterday the sales
for London account were nearly 10000 shares
and there were reported also further selling or
ders from Holland where the situation had on
the previous day been thought practically
cleared up. RumOrs Of impending failures We're

Waterloo, June 17.-Gordon Wagner,
10-year-old boy living on utica

day afternoon while seeking shelter IN
a barn at the rear of the w. II. Mar

apparently dead, but was later resuscl-

and burned to the ground, entailing a
loss of $500, partially covered by In

The boy is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Wagner, 319 Utica street. He
was playing about block from his
home when the rain started, and ran
into the Marshall barn and climbed
into a wagon, The electrical shock
was so great that he was thrown fiat on
his face and was unconscious when
people were attracted to the building
by flames caused by the lightning.
The child was carried into nearby
house. and home methods were resort
ed to in an effort to restore him until
a doctor could be summoned When
he aroused from his lethargy he cried
and frothed at the mouth, and the res
cuers feared he would die. Physicians
worked over him, and at 2:15 reported
that he would live. The little fellow
seems badly famed from the shock.

experienced another heavy wind anc

ever did a much smaller amount o.
damage than did the storm OF last
sunday. There was not as much ram
hui the electricity was nearly as
strong. altho no reports have been re-

struck.
Farmers and others who are inter-
ested in the crop prospects say that the
rain will do little damage further than
has already been done, providing the
weather warns up and this part of the
state gets the summer temperature to
which it is entitled.
The heavy rain has caused \ootn
Willow creek and Lime creek to rise
and they are running even with the
high water marks on the banks.
Last Sunday five bridge approaches
were washed away, and altho the
bridge supports and piling stayed, the
bridges were made impossible ana
planking supports were laid in severa
places to allow the rural mail men tt
drive across them. Lime creek was
the township which lost these five APP
proaches and other places were report
ed in other parts of the county, but moi
