While picking berries yesterday along
the bank of the electric car tracks near
the gas tanks at the Pioneer in Mont
pelier, the little daughter of Alex. Abare
became startled at the shrieking blasts
of passing freight train on the Central
Vermont railroad. Unconscious of her
course, she turned and headed for her
home short distance away. Her course
turned her onto the tracks of the electric
road, and before the motorman of an
approaching car could apply his air
brakes, the car struck the little girl,
throwing her headlong over small EN-
bankment. The car was well loaded
with people. Together with the motor
man, many left the car to aid the little
girl Many expected that the car had
passed over her, but she was found in
the tall grass along the embankment.
Picking her up, almost unconscious, they /
lifted her into the car. Assistance was
about to be called for, as she appeared
TO be in pain, when, to the surprise of
the people in the car, the little girl
jumped to her feet and headed towards
home on a run. Later it was found
that she was injured only to the extent ,
of few minor bruises.
