Green River.


lapse Of the Burrows Bridge Across
Green River.
w. r. Bridges of Colrain met with a
serious accident Friday afternoon about
o'clock while driving a pair of horses
hitched to a lumber wagon across the
Burrows bridge, so-called. which spans
Green River about two miles and half
below Green River village on the main
road to Greenfield. He was about
third of the way across the bridge,
which is about so feet in length, when
without any warning, it collapsed and
bridge, man and team fell into the water
below, a distance of IL feet Mr..
Bridges was hurled from his seat and
was struck by a large timber in the
right side, knocking him under one of
the horses, where he remained until the
horse kicked itself free. Without any
hour in getting himself and horses out
of the wreckage. Besides Commissions and
bruises on the right groin, right side,
neck and shoulders he sustained a frac-
ture of three ribs, a sprained thumb,
and perhaps internal injuries. The
horses were cut about the legs and
sides and the wagon was slightly
broken. After the accident he was as
sisted in getting to his home, about two
miles away. The immediate cause of the
collapse was the breaking of the string
ers of the bridge. The stringers are
said to have been rotten and badly out
of repair and the cap pieces of the
abutments so badly decayed that they
could be picked to pieces by hand. When
the weight of the team touched the
bridge the stringers broke into four
pieces, and pulled away from the cap
pieces, letting the entire bridge into the
water. Last fall the bridge was braced
by the use of wooden stays which ex-
tended from the bridge to the bottom
of the brook. but this spring when the
ice ment nnt these were carried AWAY.

But honest with ourselves this the last day of the good

Is it best that should gather money by questionable
mcthodS-mcthod under the ban of the awand pour por

Is best that money coined by monopostic schemes and
devices be received from the hand that coined violation

Denver, Dec. 31.-The united busi-
ness organizations of Denver have a
new scheme for constructing the
Moffat tunnel. 1t is said that pc
titions are to bugirculated for an
amendment to the city charter to be
voted on at the special election Feb
ruary Ia, TO give the city authority
~ issue bonds for Jhc project
Should this Idea be put through,
then Denver could build, control and
operate the tunnel to he uSed by the
Moffat road. The city would i'm this
way have absolute control and man
agement of the tunnel, the gateway
to the west, and would give all roads
the right to use the tunnel without
granting any special privilege TO any
particular line This would be a
fair proposition To every railroad in
the state and any contemplated line
that may hereafter build through the
state from the east.
In order to vote on the matter on
February IA, it will be necessary to
secure at least 10000 names to the
petition by January l3.
