Destroyed.

The long bridge or trestle over
Walker Lake, the one nearest Ogden
on Red River was destroyed by fire
Thursday afternoon. The trestle ovec
the lake was little more than a
quarter of a mile long. 1t is though
that the fire must have caught from a
burning new ground near. The trestle
had been recently overhauled and a
new coat of creosote has just been ap-
piled to the timbers. 1t was the creo-
s,ote that CAUSED the rapid spread OF
the flames, as it was said that it burn
ed like oil and all efforts to fight it
back amounted to nothing. The bridge
burned from bank to bank and will
have to be completely rebuilt before
trains can pass. All passenger and
freight trains are being diverted over
the Iron Mountain and Frisco via
Hope.
