act, Mrs. Bradeen dropped her bundles
and, rushing forward, she seized her child
and threw her bodily out of harms way;

were unable to and the motorman was
obliged to reverse and back the car. She
was unconscious when lifted from be

bruises. DR.. Wesly T. Lee was sum-

child to the hospital in the police ambu-
