MARKET Street
BRIDGE TO Open
PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO
CROSS If ONE IMPORTANT
PROVISION 10 OBSERVED.

Tho roadway of the Market street
bridge will be opened to the traffic OF
Ottumwa Saturday morning. Con
tractor George Zika and City Engineer
John Brady make one important pro
vision that will govern the use of the
bridge until 1t is entirely completed
That provision is this. All vehicles
must keep In the road way and stay
entirely away from the street car
tracks where the floor Is not finished.
Neither the Ottumwa Supply & Con-
struction Co., nor the city will as
sumo any responsibility for any &C.
cidents that happen before the bridge
is entirely completed. All who cross
will do 80 at their own risk at the
present time. The men in charge
wish it fully understood by all who
will use the roadway OF the bridge
that they are to keep out of the street
car tracks where the men are working.
Mr., zika declares that he is opening
the bridge merely as an accommoda-
ton to the public and that as long as
the people observe the ruling against
the use of the car tracks, the bridge
will be left open.
There are about three spans Of the
car track that have not been laid with
blocks for the reason that the supply
has run out. Mr.. Zika Is expecting
another shipment to complete the floor
at any moment and he asserts that
within a day and one-half after the
blocks arrive, the bridge will be COM
pleted and thrown open without re-
striction to traffic.
Because there are men working on
the bridge, no fast driving will be
permitted for fear Of injury to the
workmen. Off1cers are on the bridge
and will arrest all offenders.
The public will appreciate this &C.
commodation for they have been
placed at great disadvantage in be-
ing forced to go around by the Vine
street bridge. 1t will be matter Of
a short time now until the bridge is
finished. The city has new floor to
place in the footways of the bridge
but this will not inconvenience anyone
as one side will be open when the
other is closed.
Wagons may cross as early as de-
sired Saturday morning.

A PASSENGER TRAIN ON THE
ORIENT ROAD is BLOWN
FROM THE TRACK.
81 DEAD; SCORES INJURED
Lusert, Rocky, Blair and Martha Wiped
off Map BY Storm That Sweeps
Southern Oklahoma and Por-
ton of Texas Panhandle
Relief Trains Are
Hurried South.

Oklahoma city, Okla, April 90
Thirty-one persons are reported to
have been killed by a tornado that
swept Southwestern Oklahoma and the
southeastern corner of the Texas Pan
handle this afternoon, demolishing four
towns and doing untold damage
through the country. Lugert,
Rocky Blair and Martha were practi-
cally wiped off the map.
The Orient combination passenger
and freight train was blown off the
track at Lugert and many are reported
injured A relief train was hurried to
the scene of the disaster from Altus,
with physicians and nurses. Ten peo-
pie were picked up on the way and the
train later returned to it's starting
point Two of the victims found by
the relief party, Mrs. Lee Stanalan and
Miss Eva Stanalan, died on the train.
The tornado started just across the
Texas border and first killed seven
persons at Kirkland, Teas, demolish-
ing 80 buildings and blew Rock Is
land work tarin off the track.
Tearing on northward, the storm
struck Martha, destroying the town,
then Eldorado, killing four; Calumet,
killing 3, and Lugert, Rocky, where
half the town is in ruins; Yukon, War
rem, Blair and Lone Wolf. At each Of
these places many persons were hurt.
Several of these towns are cut off
from communication tonight. What is
believed to be the tail of the storm
destroyed several buildings at Mulhall,
fifty miles north of Oklahoma City,
but so far as known there were no
casualties there.
P. B. Thompson and his wife were
caught under the falling timbers of
their home at Calumet. and crushed to
death. Several other buildings at Cal
umet were demolished and two per-
sons were injured.
Aledo, a village in Dewey county, is
reported to be in ruins.
Those killed in Texas were Roy
Camp, wife and two children, Mrs. G.
E. Kennedy, Hugh Singleton and wife.
Fifteen are dead at Lugert, four are
reported killed at Eldorado and many
injured in other nearby towns.
Every building in Lugert is reported
destroyed, and the same reports come
from other towns in the stricken dis
tricts A family of seven at Yukon are
thought fatally injured, and one, Mrs.
Jerry Brown, is said to be dying.
Warren, population 400, northwest
ward from Martha, seemed to have
been the next town struck. Great dam
age was done there. but the extent Of
IL cannot be learned.
Later kilograms and telephone mes
sages state that the town of Calumet,
about ten miles east of Ell Reno, was
blown to pieces and many hurt. Four
houses were blown down at Yukon, IA
miles west of Oklahoma City. Great
damage is reported in the country be-
tween Ell Reno and Yukon.
