REPAIRS PROGRESSING Dig Bridge Will Probably Be Open to Travel By Friday Night. The work of repairing the big bridge is progressing quite rapidly and the work will be completed much sooner than was at first expected. The plank ing of the bridge will probably be completed by Friday when it will bo open to trayel. Some prejudiced persons have been making some complaint about the manner In which Contractor R. M. Gilbert Is adjusting the bridge ten sion. When it Is known that the par ties making these complaints nrc actuated Into doing so by falling to se cure sub-contracts of the work from Mr. Gilbert, their statements will not be given any consideration by fair-minded people. Mr. Gilbert is proceeding with the work as per contract and the traveling public will ever appreciate the rapidity with which tho work is being prosecuted and the opening of the prldge to travel once more. It Is unjust to say the least that such reports should bo so Industriously circulated. Crr. Execution Sale. In case of II. S. Gilc, vs. Geo. P. Baldwin, Sheriff F. T.
