Of
Frame Work of Bridge on East

AreU bridge 680 feet in length within
n flajs Is considered somewhat of a
Teat but that Is what the Northwest
i Bridge company expects to do with tha
JGaBl "Twenty-eighth street structure
now, that the framework has been
erected.
i The picture shown above is a repro
duction of the framework. Tills in
Itself is a new departure in large mn
crete bridge building in that the entire
r "
framework was erected before any
the concrete work was started.
To complete the task on time aad in
order that there will be no Joints
caused by the cement settletng over
night. the bridge company will work
three gangs of men on eight-hour
shifts, fty such arrangement it is ex
pected that there will be a solid and
uniform structure which will be free
from joints or sutures In any part,
making as complete a bridge as it is
possible to construct out of concrete.
The bridge will- cost about J84.400
and will he completed by September
1. The concrete work has hern start
ed and will require between 1.' and 16
days to complete. It is estimated that
1& days more will be requlrud to finish
the work.
The same company has the I'nlon
avenue bridge and will have It com
pleted within a few dnys. The coni
piiny hns saved the taxpayers money op
the I'nlon avenue structure In that
the prlre will be about $2,000 less than
estimated. The contract price was 164.-9R0.

three lumbermen, following a statement
made by Anne Richardson, a notorious
woman, implicating the men in the at-

bridge.
J The Richardson woman was arrested

the plot. Subjected to a severe sweat
fng by the detectives, she finally made
J a. partial confession to the effect that
the plan to wreck the train was con
cocted in her house during a drunken
orgy, in which a number of woodsmen
"! participated.
i Suspicion of the dtectives was. aroused
tby he sudden and mysterious disap-

after the attempted wreck. It was
learned that she went to San Francisco

Spending money with lavish hand,
after the manner of "Scotty" of Death
Valley fame, two little girls who were
enjoying all that money could buy at
the Oaks were taken in charge by Of
ficer H. Oelsner yesterday afternoon.
After being questioned in the Juvenile
court they were ent home to their
mothers. 0
Mary, 12 years old, and Helen, who
Is 11. are chums. The.y live on the
east side, and as it Is not known that
they have done anything more serious
than to make a display of wealth, their
last names are withheld. Monday they
went to the Oaks and spent money
freely, but no one thought much of It.
Tuesday they again appeared at the
amusement resort, and It Is known that
they Invested at least 13 In the various
amusements. When they appeared
again yesterday and started once more
to "blow themselves," buying $1 worth
of merry-go-round tickets t$ start and
offering a double eagle In payment, of
ficer Oelsner decided that it w.is time to
interfere.
After the fun had been stopped the
girls were taken before Chief Probation
Officer Hadley. Mary proved to be the
financier, and she stoutly maintained
that her father cave her the double
eagle. She said she teised him last
Sunday until he gave It to her. As the
father a laboring man. working for
$2.50 per day, the story of the little
girl did not sound probable, ami an In
vestigation of the source of Mary's
wealth will be made.
