A PLUCKY LITTLE GIRL.
An unusual amount of presence of
mind was shown this afternoon by lit
tie girl about 10 years old.
The child, accompanied by large
dog, had started across the bridge Of the
Terminal railroad over the San Gabriel
river, few miles from town, and, when
q hol
San Pedro came along. The engineer
gave the child warning, and the little
got down and straddled one of the
beams below the track. She tried to
pull the dog into the water, but he
would not move, and merely crouched
down just over the ties. The engine
passed by and struck him, but did not
injure him. neither did the rest of the
train. When the cars had passed, the
child climbed to the track and was loud
ly cheered by the passengers looking
from the car window and the railroad
employees standing on the Car steps.
