ENGINE WENT
BENEATH WATER
After Plunging Through a
Rutland R. r. Bridge
Near Alburg
FOUR MEN JUMPED,
ONE OTHER RESCUED
Train Was Moving Slowly,
or There Might Have
Been Deaths

Burlington, April 3.--The engine OF
freight train No. 80 of the Rutland
railroad, plunged through the trestle
bridge between Alburg and Rouses
Point into the waters of Lake Cham
plain at ll:l5 last night, when the
bridge gave way under the strain. No
one was injured.
There were five men in the engine
at the time of the accident, the fire
man, engineer and three railroad men.
The fireman and other railroad men
jumped but the engineer went down
with the engine and miraculously es-
capped injury and probable death. How
ever. he managed TO crawl from the
cab and emerge from the waters un-
injured.
The fact that the engine was going
at the rate of but five miles per hour
is what saved all from death. The
bridge has been quite weak for some
time and trains passing over 1t have
used every precaution. The high wa
ters and ice are the cause OF the weak
ened condition OF the bridge and when
train 33 approached the bridge last
night it slowed down. As the train
went onto the bridge the latter snapped
under the strain and the engine plunged
into the lake and completely out OF
sight. The men had time TO jump and
because the train was going SO slow
at the time. were not injured.

OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED
ON RIVER DVINA
Bolsheviki Have Apparently Started
Their Threatened Drive on the
Northern Front Toward
Wilma.

Warsaw, April 2 (By the Associated
Press The bolsheviki launched at
tacks yesterday on both sides of the
river Dvina, apparently in the begin
ming of their threatened drive on the
northern front designed to carry them
in the direction of Wilma. Fighting
at various points on this front is re-
ported in the Lettish communique to-
day. One of the Lettish statements
announces the repulse of n bolshevik
attack in the region of Lake Osvia.
The fighting is reported particularly
severe in the vicinity of Dedino, along
the northern banks of the Dvina.
Between Pollock and Borizov on the
Beresina, the Polish communique an
nounced heavy attack by the Reds
The Poles counter attacked, driving
the Reds eastwardly.
The newspapers also report Pol
ish success on the southern front in
Podolia, announcing the capture or
Bar, northeast of kamenelz Podolsk by
the Poles.
Uneasiness in Finland over the boil
shevik successes in the far north, is
reported by the press. This probably
refers to the recently reported bolshe-
vik advance in the Murmansk region
between the White sea and the Are
ticl. The newspapers declare Finland
is already considering military action
against the reds to prevent a bolshe-
vik invasion.
