PROBE IS ORDERED
ON CHAIN BRIDGE
Ladue Gets Report Holiday
Traffic Has Weakened
South Abutment.

Another thorough examination of
the Chain Bridge was ordered today
bv Col. William B. Ladue, District En-
gineer Commissioner, following a re-
port that heavy traffic over the strue-
ture during the week end had caused
an additional crack to develop in the
already weakened masonry Of the
south ahutment.
The investigation will be made by
attaches Of the bridge department of
the District government. Should 1t
reveal that new crack exists ana
that the abutment has been further
weakened thereby, the bridge would
be closed.
Continuous Watch Kept.
Closing of the bridge was recon-
mended by the bridge department
about two weeks ago, but the Commits
sioners decided that such action was
not necessary at that time II certain
restrictions were adopted AS re-
suIt the bridge department was or
dered to keep a continuous watch at
the abutment, and traffic over the
bridge was limited to maximum OF
tons.
Col. Ladue emphasized that the Dis
trict plans to keep the bridge open
to traffic just as long as possible, but
that if any danger is imminent, it viii
he closed before q catastrophe results.
Is Deeply Concerned.
The Engineer Commissioner is deeply
concerned over the condition or the
bridge, and one of his first acts after
taking office was to make personal
examination of the superstructure, as
well as the abutments.
The condition of the south abutment
he described as "disquieting." The
cast.iron framework, he said, also
shows visible evidence of deteriora-
ton. and he believes that there may
be some hidden deterioration which It
has been impossible to find by eXami-
nation.

BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG,-

BELLE FOURCHE, S. Oak, July s..
This is the day of all days for this
little cattle-shipping town-probably
the greatest and proudest day in it's
romantic existence.
Not only is it the second day of the
annual tri-state roundup, and the
greatest crowd in the history Of these
annual sports is on hand. but the
President of the United States and his
wife are to be guests at the rodeo.
The streets are virtually seething
with thousands of visitors, many Of
them having come from far distant
points, all bent on seeing the Presi-
lent and Mrs. Coolidge, and the annual
revival Of Western sports that make
the Belle Fourche roundup an event
to be looked forward to in this section
of the West.
Demonstration Is Planned.
Considering the genuine enthusiasm
and interest on the part Of the natives
of the little town, and the size of the
crowd of visitors, the President and
Mrs. Coolidge are going to receive a
demonstration when they alight from
their special train and during their
motor ride to the rodeo grounds prob
ably unlike anything they have ever
before experienced. These people are
happy to have the President and his
wife in the Black Hills for their vaca-
ton, but they are just about bursting
with pride and joy at having them
make the journey of 100 miles to
witness what the natives refer TO as
the sporting classic of the West-the
annual tri-state roundup.
1t will be an interesting and pic
turesque sight that greets the eyes
Of President and Mrs. Coolidge when
their train arrives about l o'clock
(Moutain time) this afternoon. The
streets of the business section-and
there are only a few blocks Of these,
because Belle Fourche has a population
of less than 3000-have been barred
to vehicles of all descriptions, and
from front to front between the rows
of one and two story buildings, a
Kaleidoscope mass of humanity has
been milling aimlessly about awaiting
the arrival of the Presidents special
train and the beginning Of the show.
