BERTHE Huffman, young son
OF Nancy Huffman, was instantly
killed at the depot OF
this place last Wednesday morning,
while playing on astanding freight train.
At the time of the accident he was
standing on the bumpers between two
cars on the side track, and while back
ing others against them the jar caused
him to fall, and before he could recover
himself the trucks of one car passed
over him, severing the back bone and
crushing the abdomen; but strange 10
say, did not draw a drop OF blood. This
is q distressing accident, yet such re-
suit has long been expected, and We
trust this terrible circumstance will
serve to do away with boys and chill
dren at the depot. Why parents can SIT
at home and permit their young boys
to frequent places of such danger passes
our imagination; and while We deeply
regret the sad blow which has fallen
upon this bereaved mother, vet We hope
it will be of lasting benefit TO our COM
munity and save others from like fate.
