the car was in distress, he applied
his brakes, but he was too near the
car TO bring the train to stop and
for few minutes it looked as though
collision could not be averted.
George Houston, a well-known ne
gro, was standing near the tracks and
he at once saw the situation. Rush
ing to the automobile and with one
hard push sent the machine across
the tracks Just as the freight tr ain
came by. Though the speed had been
slowered considerable, still the train
was coming sufficiently fast to have
caused a serious collision had the
automobile remained on the track.
The four ladies', though somewhat
excited as they saw the situation,
managed to remain calm for the time
being, not realizing the great danger
tnat they were in until after it was
all over, The quick action of Ho9s-
ton was greatly appreciated and no
doubt prevented the collision.
