Anthem, Oct. 9.-TWenty-seven head
of cattle were precipitated into the
rushing water of the Little Sioux river
here by the Anthem steel bridge, long
condemned, collapsing as they were
crossing The bridge was 100 feet
long.
Two head of cattle were, killed, while
five are so badly injured they will
probably have to be shot. The water is
not very deep and the others We're res
cued by farmers who We're attracted

Only yesterday afternoon word was
sent to E. G. Copeland, chairman of
the Woodbury. county board of super
visors, who lives at Correctionville,
that the bridge was wobbly, and he
fastened to Anthem in his automobile.
When within 100 yards Of the structure
the bridge collapsed.
The bridge has been condemned since
last spring, and contract for a new
structure was awarded to S. g. Hunt
er Of Atlantic Iowa, calling for its
completion last month. Owing to the
company's inability to secure the ma
terial the bridge has not been built,
nor work commenced. Since it was
condemned danger signs have been
