Here it costs you nothing ex

Many desirable models and
hundreds of tasteful fabrics
await your selection.

HIGH WATERS THREATEN BRIDGE
-WORKER LOST IN IGT WATER
Tlit hat weather whlich> has con
tinued uiutibated for the past sev
eral days h;uf caused Dunthar dauu
agt at the railroad company's sec
ond «:i casing bridge, and, uufortu
nately, has resulted in the death. of
K. W. \cluison, who was employed
on the shops section crew.
Laat evening at about 8:45
o'clock, a number of oars bad
I.ecu pulled across the bridge «wid
at the *ime of the tragedy a ca
boose was also being handled in j
the sa.ue manner. Three mem
bers Otf the train crew were stand- j
iug on the platform of the caboose
and .Mr. AcMson stood on the stesps. j
Suddeuly, and without any warning j
soint of the bridge bents under- I
neath Kavo way and the upper,
structure of the bridge saged, al
t lough i* did not braUc in two. |
Mr. Achison, evidently seized with
panic, jumped char of tihe caboose .
and bridge and into the swift car
rent of the river. He was quickly j
swei t away and his fell*.*- "workers
could do 110 more at tihe moiuc/tit
tliau watch his progress. UasJper
ate efforts to reach, hiui were
lUMdt bv men running along the
rivfr bank but he could not be
owrtalcfcu. He was se.ii to float
for a ronvsidcrable distance, evi
dently pwiniroiug awl nwuking ef
f< Tts to laud, but without avail.
I'ariits were immediately organized
to s a.rcli both tanks of the stream
in the hope that he may haye
flouted ashore and be yet alive, but
although ■willing workers oontin
utd the searcih all through' the
uiglit no results were obtained.
The death of Air. Acbiyon is all
the mere regirtittaMe when it is rea
lised tiuit ii txe bud remained ou
'tie caboose tbe tragedy would
not have occurred, as fiiie cabioioee
was hauled safely acroes tne bridge
and uo liuirm caaiie to t"o ti^uiu
nuu who a'uyed by it. The ou
ilre community ayunpathizts with
tue sorrowing widow and tiie family
80 suddenly and uuiexjjeototliy be
reaved.
Several of the bridga beuta ware
washed out, and crews are imjw bus*
ly engiaged in efforts to repair tho
damage. During last nJgiht the
bank sill was washed away, to
gether with a small goatiua of the
solid road-«btd. It is not yet known
when through traffic will be re
sumed, as this will largely de
pend upou conditions. Temporary
.emails enabling passengers to
move both north and south bound
will i>iubably be complutid today.

Heated it on a bar in tihe mid
