Mrs. Carolyn Cochran had narrow
escape from being run over by the
train ON Tuesday. Mrs. Cochran had
started for the station, and. as she was
little late began tn run with her suit
case in her hand As she reached the
track, she stumped her foot and fell up
on the track with the engine only few
feet from her. BY great presence of
mind she rolled herself Off the track. in
stead of trying to get upon her feet,
thereby saving her life. The suit case
was knocked off by the engine. and
burst open. We feel glad that she
escaped without any serious results.
