At the point where, the fire was raging, water was at least four or Ave feet deep, and had the bridge been wooden instead of con. crete and steel, it would have been consumed. During the recent heavy rains the high waters had washed a great deal of trash, limbs, etc. down ;the stream and these had lodged I against the bridge, and had been dried out by the winds and sun.
