and Caught Child.
The tw6-year-old child of Torrance
Cummings; Of Carbonate. Pa. was
saved from death the ether day by
the bravery and quick action Of En-
gineer Cal Klmble, who runs the
passenger express between Carbonate
and Honesdale. The train was late
getting into Carbonate, and as It
swept around a curve at high speed
KImhle saw not far away a baby sit
ting in the middle Of the track with
its back to the train. 1t paid no heed
TO the whistle, and seeing that death
was inevitable unless the child was
rescued Kimble put on the air brakes.
It was down grade, and he realized
that the train could not stop before
it struck the child He shouted to his
fireman to look after the engine and
sprang out on the running board. It
took him but moment to reach the
head of the engine and jump down
on the pilot. Stretching down on the
cowcatcher, he just managed to reach
the child in time He swung the
yeungster up to safety and the train
stopped fifteen feet further on.
