On the 9th day of August about
O'Clock, at the corner of 26th AND Main
Sts., little boy named Joseph Jones,
son of Maria Jones' who lives on Goth
St, between Main and Gary, had y mar
row escape from death. Car No. 33, of
the Main St. line was making it's way
into Fulton when the little boy who
seemed to have been overjoyed with
fun started in hssty speed across the
street. The mortorman hailed at the
little boy but to no effect Ia spite of
all he continued his journey Just as
he reached the centre of the track the
fender on the car struck him, lifting
him up from the ground. He again
fell, this time the fender passed over
him, MASKING him beneath it and the
ground By this time the morto~man
managed to stop the car, which was
about to crush him. The little boy
jumped W and continued to run, thus
relieving the by-standers who expect
ed every moment to see him mangled
i into jelly.
BY the providantial power the little
boy was saved. 1t was said by many
who witnessed the scene that it was
the narrowest escape from death ever
witnessed by human eyes, The boys
wounds were very slight.
