cradle excitement was created in the vicinity
of 1st and III streets northeast by the crash of

Is, on the Columbia line, had been struck by
the engine of an incoming freight train. The
Watchman on duty at the crossing had gone

found that her collar-bone had been broken i'm
two places and she. was 9th, h,swise badly

states that 1t was impossible 10 see the
moving train on account OF the street being
blocked up with freight ears that he could
not see either way until he had got on the track
