RAN OVER A BABY.
Engineer Took 1t From Under the
Tender Unhurt.

Chicago, July 3.-Somewhere in Win
netka, a north shore suburb, there is a
baby which has the proud distinction
of having been run over by railroad
train and emerging from under the
wheels without a scratch.
Just after leaving the station yester-
day, Engineer Duncan of northbound
Chicago & Northwestern express train
saw a white object lying between the
rails in front of the train. At the first
glance he supposed it to be a news
paper and paid little attention to it.
The next instant he threw on his air
brakes with a jerk that sent every
one in the train sprawling.
Good heavens" he shouted, turning
white face to his fireman, Its
baby
BY the time the train had come grind
ing to standstill, the white object was
under the tender. Duncan and his fire
man jumped to the ground and with
scared group of passengers rapidly
gathering around, drew the baby's body
tenderly from under the big engine. The
baby, which had been lying on it's eace,
opened its eyes, stared at it's rescuer
for moment and then burst into
healthy wall. The child was absolutely
unhurt.
Subsequent efforts to learn the iden-
tity of the child its parents were
unavailing. The baby appeared to be
about a year and half old.

How 1t Happened.
The wrecked car was about 40 min
utes late, having been delayed at Ash
dale station. 1t followed a special car
also bound for washington and when
this latter car passed the switch near
the court house the work train which
was stationed there pulled out on the
main track and started up grade tow
ards Falls Church. If the motorman OF
the special signalled that passenger
car was following the crew of the work
train failed to understand it. The
regular passenger car was coming down
grade toward the switch at about 40
miles an hour, endeavoring to make up
lost time. Motorman Mock, it is said,
made a desperate effort to stop his car,
but the brakes had no effect, on the
grade, and the car crashed into the
train of rails while under full speed.
Several passengers, in addition to
those named, received slight cuts and
bruises and their injuries were dressed
at the hospital at FIT. Myer, Va.

to be an uptown trust company, and

which he had brought to the office with
him and then smilingly bade good bye
to his associates in the bank, saying he
was going into the country over Sunday.
No trace of him has since been found.

falca ton.
