The group edged care fully out onto 10-foot gansway, strung from one pier 10 another over the sluiceway. The men opened the spillways, operated by pulleys, but as the surplus waters tumbled through, the gangWay collapsed un- der the mens weight. All but one of the men were thrown into the river. churnins torrent 25 feet below. Five of them perished.
 The heroic effort of the men in saving their town occurred Sunday, but word of it did not reach here until last night.
