BRIDGE BROKEN
 DOWN BY AUTO:
 SIX NEAR DEATH
LONG SPAN OF MOVES BRIDGE coLLAPsss-No FUNDS
 TO REBUILD IT.

The middle span of the bridge across Moves slough, on the Ester creek trail. collapsed late last Mon day afternoon under the weight of an automobile and six men precipi- tating the machine and its occu- pants into six or seven feet of water after a fall of about II feet. The escape of the men who were in the automobile, which was the Ross car on it's regular afternoon run to Cleary creek, is considered nothing short of miraculous. As it was, nobody sustained serious in jury, although it was thought for time that Sam Ivey, one of the occupants of the car. would drown before he could be eXtricated from the wreCkage Those who were in the machine were R T. Blakely, the driver; Sam Ivey, F. Strauten. Flu gene Traveller, Herb Cameron and Louis Doumaine.
 The Moves bridge was one of the oldest structures of it's kind in the vicinity of Fairbanks Consequent for a long time, although heavy loads much heavier than that which broke it down, have been passing across the bridge all summer. 1t is therefore presumed that the vi bration of the automobile caused the bridge to collapse, letting the machine and it's occupants down into the water
 The matter of repairs for the bridge comes under the jurisdic- tion of Territorial Road OVerseer II. II. Ross, who is also the owner of the automobile which took the plunge to the bottom of the slough And MT Ross states that he has no money on hand for such work. In fact, all of the territorial fund allowed him for work this summer, excepting $500, has already been expended. and contacts have already been let on the roads for that amount. Therefore there is no fund on hand to rebuild the bridge, unless more money is forthcoming from the territorial treasury, of which MT. Ross has no knowledge.
 Fairbanks is therefore without means of egIess to the creeks, as far as rigs of any kind are con cerned. unless they use the upper ferry, between Fairbanks and Graehl. which leads 10 the Fox trail The Moves bridge was the last connect ing link. the bridge on the north bank. of the slough reaching from Garden Island to Graehl having been washed out during the high water of year ago and never replaced, on account of the shortage of funds for such purposes.

 It has been officially announced that hereafter the navigators of the Zeppelins that are used in the raids on the towns in Great Britain will show no mercy nor considera- tion for civilians of the towns raid ed. Official instructions to that ef- feet have been issued by the Ger man officers, the reason being that the British government failed to punish the members of the crew of the British steamer Baralong, who, after capturing a German sub marine, killed the members of the crew thereof.
