The wagon bridge which spans the Mississippi river at the outlet of Lake Bemidji, on the east side of the lake from the city, is being repaired and will in a few days be in a thoroughly first-class condition.
Last spring, when the ice went out of Lake Bemidji, the bridge was practically wrecked in the middle and rendered almost useless as far as its services as a bridge were concerned. The damage was not taken cognizance of until recently, when J. F. Hennessey was employed to make the necessary repairs, “Jack” reports that the bridge will be in shape for use the middle of next week. (June 22, 1907)
