ENGINEER SAVES
BOYS FROM DEATH
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The following concerning Engineer
Ed. Koerth of this city is taken from
the Madison Democrat: But for a sud-
den stop of his train by Engineer Ed.
Koerth, going out of Madison over the
North westerh road yesterday after
noon, one little boy and perhaps two,
would have been ground to death
meath the wheels of the big mogul
engine. It was about 4:15 O'Clock and
the two little lads were playing on the
track. A train was coming in to the
station and the boys stepped aside to
watch it pass and as they stood on the
next track the train going out came
along at about Is miles per hour. The
engineer could not see the boys until
he was close upon them but he re-
versed his engine, opened up the
sand box and chugged the train to-
gether to sudden stop, within four
feet of the nearest boy.
Meanwhile Frank A. Starck, who
was at his bOathOuSe saw the danger
of the boys and tried to reach them
but he says he never could have done
so in time if the engineer had been
unable to stop.
Mr.. Starck is of the opinion that
some parents are all too regardless of
their children, else such little fello VS.
scarcely out of sWaddling clothes
would not be found in such a dangerous
situation. He also says that Engines
Koerth is entitled to great credit fol
bringing his train to stop so sud
denly that the impact of the cars
Jared the whole lakeside, aud, al
though the train was heavy, it moved
but little way after the brakes sci
the wheels.

The melancholy days have come,
So soft, so sweet, so gay
So sugary, watery, melting, pink
On, w >uld that they might stay!

for them to crowd the strawberries
into the background but the days are
coming when they will take leading
