- Many American newspapers carried a brief story on February 29, 1884 or March 1, 1884 noting the failure of a wire suspension bridge at Apollo that sent two men and their horses into the river, killing one man and drowning the horses. The accounts are all similar, but with various misspellings and slight inconsistencies. From a Dakota Territory newspaper: "A wire bridge spanning the Kiskaminet river at Apollo, Pa., parted immediately over the pier in the middle of the river, and went down with a crash. William Henderson and Harry Yeneins were crossing the rivor with a load of sheet iron, and were thrown into the river. Henderson escaped with a cold bath, but Yenkins and the two horses were drowned." A Kansas newspaper: "A wire bridge spanning the Kiskamingo river, at Apollo, Pa., parted its wire cables on Tuesday, immediately over the pier in the middle of the river, and went down with a crash. Wm. Henderson and Harry Jenkins who were crossing with a loaded team, were thrown into the river. Jenkins and tho two horses were drowned."
