locomotive. The child, with two others,
was crossing the Union Pacific tracks on
her way to school. Her companions passed
in front of an approaching freight train
and called to her to follow. She hesitated,
and then, when the train was barely ten
feet away, made the dash.
Directly in the center of the track her
feet clipped and she fell on her hands and
knees. The pilot of the locomotive struck
her and threw her into the air, where she
turned complete somersault and again
fell on the track. The engineer meanwhile
had reversed and the locomotive stopped
with the pilot over the child's body. Had
the engine gone another foot she would
have been crushed to death She was found
to be severely bruised
