Falls From Bridge Rail To Death In Flint River

Molena, Ga., Dec 28 – 

Trying to walk the railing on the bridge connecting Pike and Meriwether 
Counties, E.G. Bloodworth lost his balance, fell into the Flint River and was 
swept away by the turbulent waters.

The water was over the floor of the bridge, and he and some friends decided 
that they could mount the banister and walk safely to the other shore, but 
while crossing he became excited or some way lost his footing and fell into the 
river on the lower side of the bridge.

He attempted to swim, but his efforts were futile against the current and he 
was carried down the stream while his companions, with alarm, watched him sink 
to his death.

Mr. Bloodworth has relatives and friends in this county who were pained to 
learn of his tragic death.
