arrival of physicians from Roseburg
and Oakland.
News Spreads Rapidly.
Ae soon as the news of the hor
rible accident reached Roseburg,
County Judge Wonacott solicited the
services of every available physician,
with Instructions to proceed to the

Upon arriving at the scene of the

With the exception of Frank Gil

few feet of his companions at the
time of the accident, fell through a
hole In the floor of the bridge and in
to the water below. His sole in
juries consist of a badly Bwoolen
cheek and a deep gash on the fore
head. Pathetic scenes followed the accl
dent, and at times the relatives of the
deceased became hysterical. Espec
ially sad was the arrival of Ra
Brown and his daughter, who hue"
previously been informed of the ter
rible tragedy. When Informed thn
his son was dead. Mr. Brown swoon
ed and was later taken In charge In
friends nnd pursunded to return tc

It was built In the ypar 1891 under
the administration of ey-Count
Judge Riddle and cost In the neigh

with difficulty. Some of the men
fell into the water, but nowlthstand

wounds of the dead showed that the

that death was almost Instantaneous
The women in the neighborhood con

was done to relieve the suffering vie

MANY MAIN TIMBERS ROTTEN
Eighteen Months Ago County Author
ities Not i lied Struct ure Was
Shaky nnd Unsafe Jury
Brings In Verdict.
The coroner's jury called to hear
the evidence concerning the disas
ter at Umpqua bridge yesterday, con-
Isting of . Dave Shambrook, E. X.
Ewart, W. D. Bell, Sam Miller, Frank
Churchill and E. Murphey, first visit
ed the morgue and viewed the bodies
of the five victims of the terrible ac
cident, and then heard the-testimony
it the court house. Throughout the
entire hearing there was but one
story a defective structure had col
lapsed. The evidence of every wit
less examined was conclusive in this
espect, and it was shown that as
ong as eighteen months ago count.v
luthoritiea were told by a reputable
farmer In that vicinity that in his
opinion the bridge was dangerous and
would collapse. Ir. Fields, in the
employe of the county, gave direct
testimony to the effect that the tim
bers in the structure were rotted
and had served their time. The first
witness called was:
IH. Yliicll, who testified that he
was summoned to go to the scene of
the accident about 4:30 p. m., and
eft at 5 o'clock, arriving there at
:S0. Said he found two of the vlc
'Ims badly hurt. In another house
vere Win. Belieu, who died shortly
ifter, and the two Wilson boys. Saw
the bodies of the five dead men this
morning. All had died from concus-
lon of the brain, except William
Brown, whose neck was broken. In
lurles were all external.
D. It. Sliambrceti said he was ac
quainted with all of the parties kitl-
xcept Mcl aria ml. W lliiam Brown
was a son of Kay C. Brown, who
Ives west of town.
Mr. Murphey, also a jury man,
estilled to having known Peter Mc-
K'arland, and that it was his body
which he saw In the morgue today.
Mr. Klllson, a farmer living on the
allpooia, said he was at the Ump
iua bridge store at about 4 o'clock,
mil saw the men working on the
ridge together, and soon after heard
he timbers cracking and the bridge
;o down. Running down to the riv
r saw Gllilam, one of the survivors,
;et up out of thavreckage and also
taw another man clinging to a beam.
)I1 not know any of the men except
'lilllani and Thornton. Was unable
'o tell which end of the bridge went
Inwn first. Was of the opinion thai
'.he piers on the east end first gave
lwav.
Wiii. Vinson, of Coles Valley, said
he was at the scene of the wreck In
'be evening, and two bodies had just
been recovered. Knew all of the men
killed but Peter McKarland. Identi
fied four of the dead. Was acqualn-l
ted with part of the Injured men.
Bodies were all taken out from under!
the debris which was resting on sur
face of the river. Said he had known
the bridge ever since It was built
iud some of the bridge supports were
rotten and from the condition of
the wreck was of the opinion that
the bridge fell toward the east side.
The truses had all collapsed and
fallen in to the bridge.
; Mr. ( lark, a saw mill man, said he
I got to Umpqua shortly after the ac
; cident, and belied to remove the !n
, lured and dead bodies. Three men
were Instantly kilted and two other
died soon ufter rescued. Knew all
of the Injured men. The bridge ap
I oeared to have collapsed in the cen
ter, d raging the east piers down and
I breaking loose from the west piers.
Many of the timbers were splintered
innd showed rotten condition, show
' Ing that they had been left there too
! Mr. Fields was the next witness,
land said he was a bridge builder
I and was In charge of the crew repair
ing the Umpqnn bridge. The west
nd of the bridge was to receive new
beams and only one on the east end.
The structure was known as a true
bridge, built largely of wood, and
the span waa 320 feet. The 14 eye
beams were to be replaced, ns all
beams were to be replaced, as all were
rotten at ends. Witness was not at the
bridge whn the bridge fell, havim;
left the place at noon on vsednen
day. The men were getting ready
to niace falsework under the east
end of the bridge. While he could
not sav what caused the accident, but
was of the opinion that It was de
fective overhead timbers at the ex
treme east end of the bridge. An ex
amination. Sunday, of the structnr.
Med to this belief, and the work wa-
'did out to replace those timbers
Gearv Brown was In charge of the
rew in absence of witness, and th
men had carried out the orders left
i bv witness when he came to Rose
burg. The men were etiKaged In Ink
'ng un planking preparatory to plac
'rig faUe work, and were doing what
wltneatt would linvn probably ordered
done In event of bis presence there
Brown, who was in rharite, was i
trtistv man. and was competent. Said
the bridge was closed to all heav

sence of Mr. Fields Mr. Brown was
in charge of the work. At time of
the accident witness was engaged in
turning over old planks about 40
Ceet from the east end, and two oth
ers were with him. Seven other men
a-ere 4 0 feet out toward the middle
uid were removing plank. This
vork was suggested by Brown. Un
derstood that a bent und top cord
were to be placed near the east end.
Was Informed of this fact by Mr.
Fields and Mr. Brown, and said the
lefective top cord was almost over
lead. The first Intimation of trouble
was a sound like the breaking of a
.mall stick, and he started to run
oward the center of the structure,
md the men with him started toward
'he shore. Had taken but a few
tteps when he fell through the
structure Into the water and sank,
Che bridge landed In the river before
xe came to the surface, which fact
mved his life. Was conscious all of
Lie time and received no he'.p In
getting out of the wreck. Received a
-light scalp wound, probably at the
line he fell through the structure
nto the water. Was of the opinion
that the bridge broke at the point
'ere they were working and where
ae rotten top cord existed.

Brown was taken out from under the
A'ater, and was dead.
W. T. Kinery, a resident of Colei

bout 30 minutes after the accident.
It was the worst and most distressing
hing he ever saw. One man wae
led to a stringer to keep him out ol
