INTO A CREEK.

A Locomotive Plunges Through a bridge —Seven Lives Lost. San Rafael, Cal., Jan. 17.— As engine No. 6 of the North Pacific Coast railroad was crossing Austin creek at 7 o’clock Sunday evening the bridge gave way and the engine rolled into the stream below, a distance of 40 feet, . drowning seven men. The men were on their way to a washout along the road and were going at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred. The only man saved was Conductor Brown, who jumped. The names of the drowned are Hart, Sabine, Collister, Briggs, Rice, Bremrner and Gould. Only two bodies have been found. The creek has reached the highest mark known in years and in consequence the bodies of the remaining five undoubtedly will be carried out to sea.
