" KELSO, Wash, Jan. 4.-Au-
thorities in charge of rescue
work today declared the number
of dead as a result of the collapse
of the Kelso suspension bridge
across the Cowlitz river here may
run as high as eighty.
All sources were Of the opinion, how
ever, that it viii be impossible to es-
tablish definitely how many persons
lost their lives, owing TO the impossi-
bility Of determining the exact num-
Der on the bridge when the cables
snapped and the great structure. with
its human freight, went lurching int,
the turbulent, muddy river waters.
Witnesses agreed that the numbe
On the bridge was about $50.
Forty are known to have been res
cued.
An additional number rushed tC
safety from the bridge approache>
when the first warning came that the
bridge was tottering.
Eleven persons are listed as known
to be missing"
One man died in hospital today.
On a basis of $50 persons having
been on the bridge, authorities believe
that these figures accounted for all
but approximately eighty.
Victims Were Workers
Most Of the persons on the bridge
were transient workers, many of them
zAiens engaged in constructing a new
dGwn across the river from Ke1so-
Eye-witnesses and those who saved
themselves from the water saw sew
sraI men, women and children clutch
ing at floating debris.
Screams for help reached horror
stricken witnesses on the river banks,
who. powerless to aid, shouted direc-
tons to the crews Of the steamer
Pomona and Cowlitz. which were
pIoughing against the current to
4 reach the struggling scores.
i Log Jam Weal1ens Piers
- For two weeks, the bridge has been
2ubjected to the pressure OF Jam Of
<&Ags which had broken loose and piled
kn4 against the piers. Officers had
kyeen stationed at the approaches to
regulate traffic Wednesday evening
when the bridge was crowded 70
capacity by men returning from work
The entire bridge went out with the
exception Of d short length on the
east bank.
The cable snapped with loud re
port, heard by all those on the bridge.
The entire structure swayed as the
cable ran through the truckle. The
east towers fell within a minute after
the cable broke.
Towers Injure WOrbmeD
One of the towers fell against a
new steel bridge under construction
alongside Of the old suspension struc-
ture, injuring several wOrkmeu.
The long middle span and jack
knife draw buckled as the doorway
of the center span turned and threw
all on it into the swirling waters.
A number OF corpses are believed
entangled in the timber Of the wreck
- Searchers, lashed TO the beams by
ropes, worked cautiously above the
swiftly running river, hunting for any
men who may still be breathing.
Seven men were seen drowning by
one eyewitness, powerIess to help.
They were swept out Of the mouth of
the Cowlitz into the Columbia.
Two children were seen struggling
in the stream, with a man swimming
after them.
