BRAVE SCHOOL GIRL
President Taft Awards Medal for
Heroism After She Saves Baby
From Death

Recently President Taft awarded TO
Miss Nettie Caskey of Fairmont, Ind.

girl the right to wear the bit OF bronze,
She Is the second girl to be rewarded
FOR promoting the security OF travel
upon railroads, for which congress
has provided the award OF suitable
medals.
Now II isn't every day that a 16-
year-old school girl dashes down q
railroad track in the very face OF a
swiftly rushing on-coming train, and
grabs tiny baby from the very jaws
or death. But that is the race for
life Nettie Caskey ran on the after
noon or March i9 last. when her three
yearold niece strayed from the yard
onto the railroad track.
The limited was coming around the
curve, the shrek OF the whistle came
to Nettie's ears at the same time that
she saw the baby toddiipg down the
track. up on a high embnnkment. She

AS the locomotive rounded the curve
the engineer saw Nettie running to-
ward the track, but looking directly
into sinking sun he could not see
the baby ahead; The baby smiled and
cooed as she watched the train com
ing, She even ran to meet 1t.
When almost upon the child the
engineer saw the baby and applied
his air brakes, opened the sand valves
and reversed his engine, but too late
to stop before striking the spot whore
the little one stood; new transflxed
with terror and surprise.
Just as II seemed certain that death
had overtaken the baby. Nettie
reached her, and grabbing the little
one I'm her arms threw herself of the
track. rolling with her precious bur-
den down and down the embankment
as the limited rushed by.
Such an act OF heroism Is worth
more than a mere medal. 1t Is worth
publishing to the entire world.
