Fla HIGHWAY BRIDGE OVER RAILROAD COLLAPSES Two Automobile* Fell Through Wooden Structure at Star Early Thursday.

In the machine with Mr. Voncannon were Rupert Moore, of Seagrove, and Rufus Ward, of Ether. Mr. Voncannon suffered a slight bruise i in the back of his head, and Mr, Ward was severely shaken up by the fall but i Mr. Moore escaped entirely. The car was crushed in at the rear. The party had started out on a hunting trip and had a number of dogs in the machine with them. One of the dogs suffered , a broken leg. Hardly had the -big Buick capie to a ■ rest on dig tracks when a Ford roadster, crash that was heard all over the town, directly beside the larger car. In it were, in addition to Gordon Lassiter, his; father, R. G. Lassiter, and Newton Sykes. The two Lassiters suffered some bruises and concussions, but Sykes was not injured. The highway people have been putting extensive wqrk on the roads here abouts and many spots are under repair. There was a watchman on duty at the bridge, and he had been detouring traffic all night.. Hearing the big ear coming down the road he advanced and swung his red light at them. The sign was misunderstood through. some cause, and the speeding car took the bridge at a lively gait. There was a ripping rend ing crash and the north half of the bridge, which was a wooden structure, gave way, letting the Buick fall, rear end first, to the tracks below, a distance of 35 feet -» - ■ The watchman hurried down to the scene of disaster, believing that human life was in danger, which, indeed, it was, and hardly had he arrived at the over turned car when the Ford came plung ing. down beside him, missing him by inches. Owing to the peculiar construettion of the bridge, it was impossible to tell that the ramp hgd fallen, although there was a warning fire burning at the end of the bridge. Doctors were hurriedly summoned and in «. very short, time the injured men were removed to their homes, none of them in a serious condition. frith Our Advertisers.
