SAVED BY A FENDER.
A Five Year Old Boy Picked Up and
Carried $50 Feet Unhurt.

James Perrin, five years of age, living
on Communipaw avenue near Seidler
street, had all experience yesterday even
ing which he will remember for a long
time to come Little Perrin was running
across the road to his home, but did
not see the Newark trolley car that was
coming towards him at a great rate of
speed and before he knew What had
happened he found himself coiled in the
fender of the car. When the motorman
saw the little fellow on the track and
knew it was impossible to stop the car
he ingeniously manipulated the fender,
which. in this. case, answered the pur-
pose for which it was made. The car
nasser by, who saw the incident, ran to
the fender expecting to see the little
fellow ground to pieces, but to his sur
rrise he found ilim unhurt when the boy
had been taken from the fender. He
clapned his hands and laughed at the
excited motorman and pedestrians.
