thunder, that passed over this county de-
strOyed property and caused the death of

drenched by a torrent Of rain. which.

Are Near To Death When Bridge
Drops.

-Four persons narrowly escaped being
killed last Sunday afternoon when the
rustic suspension bridge connecting the
Maryland shore with the island at Great
Falls, weakened by the storm. suddenly
gave way and precipitated them into the
water, about twelve or fifteen feet below
Miss Leah |. Harriss, of haywood, Va.
one of the party. fell on a big rock. and
besides receiving severe fracture of the
left elbow suffered many bruises about the
body. Miss Marie Lyon, of Washington, was
painfully bruised about the body from the
same cause, and suffered considerably from
shock. Everard H. Smith, of Washington,
and Robert Scott, of Cherrydale, Va, fell
into the water at place where there were
no rocks and were not hurt.
The young women were hurried into
Washington in an automobile After be-
ing treated for her injuries, Miss Harriss,
who suffered the most severe injuries, wa S
taken to her home.
The bridge gave way Sunday afternoon
shortly after the heavy wind and rain
storm swept over that section. 1t is sup
posed that the wind dislodeed the cables
from the wooden piers supporting the bridge
and thereby weakened the structure to such
an extent that when the four young people
attempted to cross it gave way under their
weight.
Miss Harriss and Miss Lyon and their
companions were on the west side of the
island when the storm broke. They had
ridden up to Great Falls in an automobile.
Before they had reached the island end
of the bridge the wind was blowing at
high rate and rain was falling. C. A.
Weisgerber, chauffeur of their automobile,
ran ahead to put up the curtains. He had
just passed from the bridge when the four
young people started across. They were
in the center of the main span when one
of the cables gave way. The walkway
instantly tilted and preciptated the four
into the valley below.
Everard Smith was carried down the
stream some distance by the current and
only after great effort was able to reach
shallow water.

Get Ready For The Fair.

The County Fair has been so long an in
stitution in this county that the men in
charge OF it grow little careless in let
ting the people at large know what is
going on, but preparations are being made
for one of the best Fairs ever held on the
grounds, and all are expected to come and
see what there is to see and renew old
friendships.
The burned stabling has been replaced
and is ready for occupation. In fact, a
number of stalls have already been taken
and things commence to look little lively
on the track. which is in better condition
than for years, thanks to the careful atten-
ton of Mr.. Veirs and the committee on
grounds. 1t promises to be fast for the races
at the coming Fair. The race committee
reports that a number of horsemen have
asked for reservation of stalls. Among
them. N. B. Plunkett will have five good
ones, G. c. BrentOn four, John Ford two
G. E. Ensor four, and many others. So
that six or seven starters in each of the
six races per day are expected.
At the directors meeting last week some
routine business was transacted, accounts
passed and awarding judges were selected
for the coming Fair. The list of same will
be published when acceptances have been
received.
Mr.. Blair johnson, the manager of the
horse-show department, reports a much
larger entry of Virginia horses than last
year, and the premiums offered for county
horses only should make horse show
which has no superior in the State, espe-
cially as county horses can be entered in
open classes also and have a chance for
two premiums. The show of heavy draft
horses should be fine. as there are two
sweepstakes premiums, one of fifty and
one of twenty-five dollars, open to all stall
lions
Send for premium list, if you have not
had one.
JAMES T. BOGLEY,
Secretary.
