NARROW ESCAPE

Mrs. Chas. Fox Knocked Down by
Moving Freight Train and Seven
Cars Pass over Her While She Law
Between the Rails.
Yesterday afternoon about
three O'Clock Mrs. Fox, wife of
Engineer Chas. Fox, attem pted
to cross the tracks in the rail
road yards near the round house,
and while watching a train on
the main line, failed to notice a
train OF freight cars backing to-
wards her on the side tracK.
Just as she stepped on the track
the car struck her, knocking her
down between the rails. Her
peril was noticed by brakeman
who attempted to stop the train,
but this could not be done until
seven cars had passed over her.
Mrs. Fox had the presence of
mind to lay perfectly still as she
fell and make no attempt to get
up, and this saved her life, as
the injuries she received we're
only those inflicted as she was
first struck by the car. When
she was rescued from her peril.
Gus position she was able to walk
from the yards to DR.. .Ferugson s
office. Upon examination her
arm was found to be broken
above the elbow, a scalp wound
was Inflicted on the head. bearing
the imprint of the hair comb she
was wearing, and she sustained
some injury to her side, but Just
how serious was this last was not
ascertained as We go to press.
Certainly the woman was fortu.
nate in escaping instant death
and her escape was due to her
presence of mind in remaining
perfectly still when in the peril.
Gus place under the cars.

To the citizens of Holyoke and Phillips
county Colorado:
God has given US some great victories
in Kansas the last few months. Worlds
records have been broken in the num-
Der of ns-proportionate to
population-in several towns. The
small towns of Colorado have never
known by experience the phenomenal
blessing of such an overturning. 1t is
my prayer that Holyoke will become
the scene Of the greatest revival God
has ever given us.
II is noble to seek to excel in any
lofty enterprise. Let every Christian
and every unsaved person both young
and old in reach of the Holyoke meet
ing unite in the plan to make the revi-
val of June the greatest victory of Col
orado, and of the world for small
town. R. G. Dunn's Commercial A
gency gives the population of ManKato,
Kansas as 800. We had practically 800
conversions there. Bur Oak is given
by the same authority GOO population.
We had GS4 conversions there. News
of these wonderful meetings has gone
round the world. Let us make Hol-
yoke's fame world wide-for the glory
of God and the salvation of Phillips
county. Yours in the fight,
French E. Oliver.
