Chicago Inter-Ocean November 22, 1875
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 21.

Wendoline Gaeger, a brewer by occupation, fell from the new Greenlawn bridge 
to-day, and was instantly killed. Gaeger, while out walking, came to this 
bridge, in course of construction across the Scioto River. Thinking to save 
time, he attempted to cross the river by a wire on the bridge, 200 feet long, 
and fifty feet above the water. He had gone about twenty-five feet, hand over 
hand, when the wire commenced cutting his hands. He then sought to return to 
the point from which he started, but was unable to cling to the wire, and soon 
fell upon the rocks below and was dashed to pieces.
