Completely Damaged and
Bridge Railing Rods
Are All Bent.

The people OF Linton were greatly
alarmed about $3.50 O'clock Sunday
afternoon when tod abou. he ter

pened at the bridge on the cemetery
road, just west Of town. MIR. and
Mrs Bredberg and two sons had taken
Mrs. Bertheau and two boys out for
a ride. On returning, a car>driven oy

naturally left considerable dust be-
hind them. AS Mr.. Bredberg ap-
preached the bridge, the dust was so
thick he couldn't see and so lost con-
troll of the car and hit the south rail-

the fender, was also thrown out. Mrs.
Bertheau, who was conscious when
picked up, is terribly bruised and it is
thought her hip is broken. Mrs.
Bredberg, who was unconscious and
remained SO for some time after
seems to have her back and neck hurt
real badly. Tie boys, with the ex-
ception of few bruises and cuts
escaped any serious injury. Mr..
Bredberg was the only one to get out
all right.
Taking everything into considera
ton, the occupants were very lucky
to come out of such an accident alive
Mrs. Bertheau, accompanied by hel
son, August Vinroth, was taken to Bis
marck Monday morning.

much worse than expected, was taker

having their hands completely off
These, Mr.. Besuchet's relative,

strangers exclaiming that she is
young and her hands will grow out
