ENGINEER f. c. FLANAGAN
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
WHEN TRAIN TO
Fl. myers Went
THROUGH BRIDGE

Engineer E. c. Flanagan had an al
most miraculous escape from death
at 1870 this morning, when the
bridge across the Caloosahatchee riv-
er, five miles this side of Ft. Myers,
gave way, and he was carried with
his engine to the bottom of the river.
He escaped with only minor injuries,
though it is almost unbelievable that
one could go through the experience
and live to tell the tale.
On the engine also was James
King, colored fireman, who also es-
capped with minor injuries.
Train S5. leaving here at $50 last
evening arrived at the bridge on time
at 1920 last night. 1t had been
found that certain insects called the
terredoes had eaten into the piling
and weakened the supports of the
bridge. A bridge crew was at work
strengthening the bridge, and the
these operations were completed.
While the crew worked. the engine
was uncoupled and ran out onto the
bridge to give the workers light from
the headlight. The bridge appeared
perfectly safe. and the engine. having
been hooked on to the train, started
across. 1t had not proceeded any
further than the point where it had
previously ran out to when the bridge
gave way and the engine and express
car plunged into the river.
Engineer Flanagan was on the side
of the engine that went down and
he was carried down with it, and
held under the water until he could
disengage himself and fight his way
to the surface. His ear was split
open, and he was considerably
bruised about the head and, in fact,
all over the body.
The fireman was on the supper side

He had some cuts and bruises. but
was not seriously hurt The Ex-
press Messenger, T. l.. Williams,
Jumped into the water and escaped
hrhurt. The passengers We're un-
injured. The train was in charga
of Conductor o. NJ. Eaton of this
city.
The train leaving here at 7:4a
this morning went as far as the
bridge and was met on the other side
by train sent out from Ft. Myers
the passengers transferring. Through
service probably will be interrupted
for several days The train from the
scene reached Lakeland at 3:25 this
afternoon, and was met by large
crowd of interested people.
