Mike, nice research, however your articles are about a bridge to the Southwest of Bazine (I'd assume this is what is now the Austin Street crossing.), whilst this bridge is on the Southeast edge of said town.
HOWEVER, based on my own quick-but-dirty research on Newspapers, it wouldn't surprise me if Midland built it as well, given that Midland was winning contract after contract in the area with ease. (For non Newspapers users, they easily won bids to rebuild the bridges at Beeler and Sidney within Ness County in 1909.)
