BRIDGE CLEARS
 F0R ST. MICHAEL

At 6:10 o'clock Wednesday morn ing the bridge across the Cinema slough cracked and went out when large mass of driftwood crashed structure go say that the drift was not halted ill it's progress an instant
 IL tore through the billings as though there were nothing there to obstruct its passage. he final surrender of the bridge, after men had been working for fortyeight hours to save it to the townspeople, was sgnalized by q succession of eight toots Of the N. C. whistle All that now remains of the structure is the draw span at the south end. Not d piling on the portion from the draw span to the approach at the Citizen building but was torn out or broken off below the flood stage of the water. It is said that the float stuff was dislodged in a body from the intake Of the Garden Isl and slough, but short distance above. and swung out into the cur rent in such mass that no power on earth could have saved the bridge unless proper log booms had been previously strung out above town to catch and divide the drift. Tom BlayloCk was immediately summon ed and will go to work on the cree ton of the new bridge as soon as the piledriyer is put into commis- sion The ferry is on the cable. but some trouble has been had in the fact that the hull has been drawn up so long that the planking has shrunk up leaving wide seams. which necessarily had to be calked before it could be considered safe

LIGHTNING HITS
 AT CATHCARTS

Following on the excitement of the Turner street bridges leave taking on Wednesday morning, the entire city was astounded by the nearncss and force of the terrific bolt of lightning which ripped through the Cathcart residence on Front street shortly after the noon whistles blew That neither Mir. or Mrs Cathcart were injured by the striking of the bolt is consider ed miraculous when the effect of it's electrical power is seen in the house. The telephone was wrenched from the wall and scattered in small pieces throughout the house, while every dish on the dining table, at which Mir. Cathcart was sitting at the time of the acident, was broken. Mrs. Cathcart. standing at the stove in the kitchen at the time, was roughly bumped by the shifting of the stove. which was moved about, the covers DelnS ONeflufhtu also. Cathcart was hurled to the floor from his chair In the back yard. the large cottonwood tree was ripped from top almost to the ground and pieces fell over quite radius. The walls of the house were scared by the electrical current which is supposed to have found an outlet over the light wires.
 Mrs. Frank Young, in her home on Third avenue, was affected by the bolt more than any one else in the city Her side and back is mass of burns Her left arm was, for d time. rendered almost useless. Sey- eral other people about town were felled by the bolt but were unin- jured The pillows of brown smoke which arose from the spot where 1t was evident that the bolt ground ed struck fear into every eye-wit- ness, as it was thought disaster had occurred It was afterward discovered that the smoke came from the tree which had been struck.
