The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1907-11-08


an old well, unobserved by him. The
horse fell partly in the wen, and il took
the combined efforts of almost all the
men of the place to rescue the poor ami
NAL, which did not seem TO result in
much harm 10 him. There are a couple
OF old wells in the place partly con-
cealed by bushes, and some time it
might not be the cry Of a horse having
fallen IN, but of precious little child.
These. are grave dangers that should be
attended to.
The little fellow who fell off the NOV.
ing train near Miami, last week, has
relatives here, who read of the incident
in the Democrat with interest. 1t seems
almost incredible. 1t is strange to US
that such a small child should be allowed
TO go alone to the rear of aswiftly NOV
ing train, and that his only relative
with him should be asleep. Fortunate
indeed 1t was for them for the train TO
look him up. Truth is indeed stranger
than fiction.
