Child RIDES MILES ON CROSS BAR OF BOX CAR
Perilous Adventure Of a Four-Year-
Old Boy-His Miraculous Es-
cape from Death.

La Crosse, Wis. - Four-year-old
George Kuster took one of the most
amazing rides in railroad history. For
eight miles, travelling at 40 miles an
hour and over one of the toughest
bits of roadbed in Minnesota, the child
was carried, absolutely unhurt, cling
ing to a cross rod between two box
cars and under the coupling, his feet
resting on the brakebeam. When res
cued, the boy was laughing.
Georges extraordinary ride began at
the Wyckoff, MINI, station Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad.
where he escaped from his father,
Prof. George Kuster, and crawled be-
meath a freight train. A few minuses
later the train pulled out. When the
train disappeared, 1t was found the
child also had vanished.
Between Wyckoff and Fountain, the
next station, eight miles away, there
is a steep down grade and a rough
roadbed. Over these eight miles the
child was whirled, resting between the
cars where he had ensconsed himself
in the Wyckoff depot, and saved by
some extraordinary chance from fall
ing to death on the ties beneath.
At the Fountain siding the train
came to a standstill and George, in
the best Of humor with the world, was
found by Conductor William Plummer.
The child was not ever scratched,
and his white dress scarcely soiled.

CRABS SET women IN A PANIC

1t SO happened that the only man In
the car was the conductor. Tne ten
passenger were women.
1t appears that the women had all
seen the crabs as they scrambled into
the car, but the conductor did not see
them. Thus it happened that simui-
t~aneously with the ensemble cream,
four of the women seized the con-
ductor and Historically appealed to
him to save them. Not seeing h
crabs the conductor questioned wheth-
er he or the women had suddenly gone
insane.
The six women who did not seize
the conductor sprang on to the seats
and tried to get out of the windows.
Meanwhile the crabs went sprawling
about the floor poking up their saucy
little claws in most terrifying man
ner. One of the women, Miss Marie
Murray, as she said a~fterward, was
simply scared stiff" and that made it
all the worse for her.
When the crabs had Topped into the
open window Miss Murray sat perfect
~ Sllll anu oClCdIhCd WIN "A OSANt~s
She seemed transixed, and as she sat
and stared and ~shuddered n of the
crabs wobbled up and caught the hem
of her skirt in it's claws. Then Miss
Murray moved-and very suddenly. In
fact, she sprang so far into the air
that the conductor declares that the
plume in her hat touched the top OF
the car.
Seeing the crab dangling at her
skirts, the other women made a hop.
skip and jump for the rear platform
and were about to vault over the tall
board, when they discovered that the
pavement was literally alive with
crabs. Then there was more scream
ing and more pitiful appeals to the
conductor.
Then a crowd of excited men and
boys had swept down on the car,
where somebody was apparently doing
foul murder. When the men saw the
crabs in the street they, too, SHE'D of,
most of them, and left the poor wom-
en- to their fate.
Brave souls there were in the crowd
who stepped fearlessly forward and of
fered to put the crabs back in the bas-
ket. Many volunteered, but few be-
came eligible for the Carnegie medal.
They even deserted the women and
withdrew to the sidewalk and watched
the squirming crabs from a distance.
Within ten minutes the crowd had
grown to 1000, and traffic was inter-
rupted. Finally, three plucky police
men came with shovels, and such Of
the crabs as had not crawled down in
to the subway were captured. A BIZ
cycle policeman was sent after the
wagon, and the ten women passengers
were driven way in carriages.
