CHILDREN ARE RESCUED.
A Young Man Saves Two Children
 From Death at Athens.

Athens. April 2.-(Special)-A few even irgs ago as the north-bound passenger train was approaching the depot in this place. two little children, Margaret, the five-year old daughter of Railroad Com missioner Sanders and her little cousin, Master Sanders Busch, son of President Busch of the North Alabama Agrieul- tural school, attempted to cross the track. As they did not realize their danger, some of their little friends began to cali to them to hurry, for the train was com ing. This seemed to panic them and they turned to go the other way then de- cided to try to cross and at this junction Sanders fell, and Margaret seemed to not realize the great danger or was so fright ened that she could not leave the track. A large crowd saw the fearful predca
 ment of the children but none seemed able to make a movement to their res cue until MT. Will Scott, young man oe the town, happened to come and, see ing the great danger and apparent sure death of the little folks, he sprang to them showing Margaret from the path of the approaching train and gathered the little boy by his clothes. rushed with him from the track, never having time to get in rising posture. The engineer said that when he saw the children and the effort made to save them, he reversed his engine, shut off the steam and turned his head to prevent being witness to the destruction of three lives. By the merest accident MT. Scott managed to make his escape from the track. No one who witnessed the scene will ever forget the thrilling event. for it seemed an im- possible thing to do. MT. Scott has re- ceived the plaudit of hundreds of friends over his daring feat. No more courag
 eous act was ever performed fin this coun- try than his rescue of the children.
