said tumor was growing inside his

Waterloo. April 10.-A heroic act Of
little s or 9-year-old boy was witnessed
yesterday afternoon by woman who
lives near the bridge of the Illinois
Central belt line north of Mulberry
street. Two little boys had been play
ing on the track and the smallest start
ed to walk across the bridge. He was
about years of age. He had gone but
a few feet on the bridge when the pas
senger train going west at 4:3S swung
around the curve and almost on the
bridge. The older boy called to his COM
panion but 1t was too late for him to
retreat and too late to get across the
structure The little fellow stood rooted
on he spot with fear and would surely
have been ground to death beneath the
wheels If the larger boy had not proved
himself a hero, with the nerve which.
will count for him in after life, as it
did on this occasion. In order to save
his small companion the older boy
passed onto the bridge, grabbed the lit
tie fellow In his arms and half fell, half
jumped off the structure to the ground
below, distance of ten or twelve feet.
He was not an instant too soon. for just
as he jumped the engine rushed onto
the bridge. Our informant was unable
to give the names of the rescued boy or
his hero companion.
