week, and proceeded next day to Elk
City via Baird's saddle train. Mr..
Cook goes to Red River to assume a

As the train was speeding along at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, the child
aged about two years, fell from the
window of the car. The train pro-

stopped, and upon backing up the
youngster was found sitting on the
track totally unharmed and crying
