1t would naturally be supposed that
parents Of children five or six years
old would see to it that the little ones
were at home and in bed before 1890
at night, or at least adopt means to
prevent their playing around the city
streets at that hour, and especially
near the railroad tracks. but that at
least one family in the vicinity of
lower Court street is a little lax in
this particular detail Of household
government was noticed Monday night
when at 1890 and just before the ar
rival Of Train 2. which goes west from
Augusta at 1910, a boy of not over six
summers was seen playing along the
tracks between Winthrop street cross
ing and the passenger station. He
had a hoop off of some sugar barrel
which he had found and was trying to
trundle the hoop as he had probably
seen some older boys do. and appeared
utterly oblivious Of the fact that he
was on dangerous ground, although a
freight engine which had been up above
Winthrop street to take water was
backing down to couple on to its
train again, and the headlight Of the
Pullman was showing as the train
reached the west end Of the bridge.
Night officer Fox Of the police force
was at the railroad station and on be-
ing notified of the boys danger hur-
ried up the platform. took the young
ster in tow and hustling him down to
the walk in front Of the station sent
him up over Court hill. at the same
time admonishing him as to what
would happen to him if he were
caught down town again at such an
hour
