Swaying to and fro with the wind above the placid waters of Deer Creek ; the suspension bridge wag a new i sight for many people who went to : see the football game yesterday afternoon. At the close of the game several men started across the bridge toward town and the spliced cable could not stand the presure of seven men and it gave way on one side, letting the pedestrains into the water. Ordinarily the water Is very deep at this place but yes erday the drough proved to be of some benefit as it had occasioned low water and thereby made it possible for the young men to escape from the creek without serious trouble aside from being as wet as rata —Delphi Herald. ‘ Somewhere between Terre Haute and their old home In England the wife and children of George Morris are on their way to Terre Haute to find he was killed by a fall of slate in the mine where he was working. Morris had sent for his family and I was expecting tnem daily. Thomas Botts also was killed. „
