NARROW EsCAPE.-Ch Charlie Reed, son
of Chas. A. Reed, came very near get
ting killed Monday evening at the
freight depot. The engine was taking
three freight ears out of the depot when
the boy who was on the floor fell down
into the track way. 1t seemed us though
he was going right under the trucks
but the next Mr.. Finn, who was there,
saw of him he had his head above the
floor, which is about even with the
bottom of the cars. There was Just
room for his neck between the floor and
the edge of the car which scraped along
the back of his neck. Mr.. Finn thought
that surely the door of the car would
crush the boys head and turned away sc
us not to see the catastrophe. When he
turned back the car had gone on and
the boy was in the track way behind it
unharmed. The car may have lurched
as the door passed by or else the door
was far enough above the edge of the
ear to save crushing his heal as it
passed. Montpelier Freeman.
