TO SAVE CHILD

Offspring.

Baltimore, Aug. 14.-Seeing her =
year-old baby, Teddy" about to be
ground to death under. the wheels
Of a street car this morning, Mrs.
Helen Ferenz, 1914 Eastern avenue.
dashed from the sidewalk. pushed
the baby from under the Wheels
which were almost upon it, and was
herse!s under the car when it was
brought to a stop by the motorman.
She suffered only minor cuts and
bruises when her body was brushed
by the heavy truck.
The baby had wandered from the
sidewalk this morning into the mid
die Of the street. where it was play
ing. The motorman did not notice
the little tot walking on the tracks
until the car was almost on the
baby.
His mother saw him at the same
time. Rushing from the sidewalk,
she reached the child just a mo-
ment before the car. There was not
sufficient time to pick the baby up
before the car would be upon them,
so she gave one desperate shove
which moved the baby from harms
way while she. stumbling from her
exertion, fell to the ground before
the car.
Motorman Ruth had been plying
the Brakes from the moment he first
saw the boy. The pressure of the
air forcing the heavy iron shoes
against the wheels halted the car
with the wheels just few inches
from Mrs. Ferenz's body.
