A NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Girl saved From Death BY
Prompt Work OF nIotorman.


About moan Saturday q little four-ysar-
old gill Of Charles Frsderickson, 10 In
iia street, crossed the track OF the Port
land Railroad company just IS Stroud
water car was passing mp the street. She
got little bewildered and suddenly
tried to 20 back across the track in front
Of the moving car. The motormsn saw
her and quick as thought and with the
greatest presence OF mind, reversed the
lever and stopped the car, thus saving the
life Of the girl, for, had the car gone one
foot further the death Of the girl must
have resulted Instantly. As IL was she
was caught under the front platform and
wodgsd In near the wheel as a result OF
which her leg was bruised.
The conductor rushed to the front of
the car and pulled the little girl out from
under the wheel and very kindly took her
to her homs near by.
The parents were seen yesterday by
reporter Of the PRESS and to him they
expressed their great thanks for the brav-
cry Of the motorman and the courtesy Of
the conductor. for they say had It not
been for the presence OF mind Of the men
In charge OF the car their child would
have met sudden death.
