Samson wanted to look at her. and
was afraid that this would be impolite.

Samson's face lighted with the rev.

NUMBER 6
TRAIN HITS CHILD

Ora Irene, IT months old child of MT. and Mrs. R. A. Jones who reside at Jeffries Crossing west of town was struck by west bound train No. 223 Tuesday noon. Although the engineer re- versed his engine and applied the emergency brakes the train could not be stopped until it had knocked the child from the track. At this crossing there are two fences, one of which no doubt prevented the engineer from sec ing the child until too late to pre- vent the train hitting it.
 Mrs. Jones stated that she had left the child playing in a room and that she did not know it had left the home which is about 100 feet from the railroad until she heard the train whistle. The child, it seems, tried to cross the track and it was struck by the train, knocking it to one side of the right-of-Way. It was badly bruised about the head and body, but it is not thought that it's in- juries will prove serious.
 The engineer backed his train to this city bringing Mrs. Jones and the wounded child to Dr. Brewster who dressed it's wounds. The engineer who again passed through here on No. 223 yester- day, Thursday, stopped his train at the home and gave the child a big doll and a box of candy, also expressing his regrets of the ac- cident and hopes of it's complete recovery.
 I. P. Phillips and son of Lang ton were driving east in his wag- on and met the train about 200 yards east of the home and as the train passed they talked of the rapid rate of speed it was makinU when irnnoodiatn1v thov heard the whistle and almost by the time they could look back, MT. Phillips stated that the train had stopped. He said they heard the mother screaming and was almost an eye witness to the ac- cident. The child was reported yesterday, Thursday, as improv- ing as nicely as could be expected.
