Show Forty Dead at Bridge. I Richard Lee, an engineer on ''the Pennsylvania, who brought In the last train over that line from Logansport. reported a terrible condition at tbe Pennsylvania bridge over the Wabash on tbe outskirts of Logansport "Tbls bridge is braced across an Island and la aa near indestructible aa a bridge can be made," aald Mr. Lee. "It la eighteen miles down stream from Peru and has caught all the debris from that town. "I think we saw the remalna of more than 100 houses stacked op against this bridge, with the current tugging and pulling at them. We could make out thirty or forty dead bodies In the crushed lumber, and it seemed as If some section of Peru must have been overwhelmed suddenly sudden-ly and swept down stream to destruction." |
