certainty yesterday.
Mrs. Madeline Trout, 20, was
carrying her 20-month- daugh-
ter Linda to Union Station. While
awaiting bus at Twelfth and Jack
son streets NE, she opened her
pocketbook and her billfold, contain
ing $94 in cash and her ticket, fell
into a sewer.
1t was ! pm. Her train was to
leave at 2 pm. She called police
and Pvts. Arthur Sweeney and F.. A.
Long Of No. IL Precinct arrived on
the scene.
The policemen called the Sewer
Department, but were told it would
take an hour before any one could
be sent out. While the anxious
mother waited. the policemen and
bystanders probed the sewer with
rakes and poles. Just as one of the
policemen prepared to lower himself
into the sewer, some one caught the
billfold with a rake.
The money and tickets were in
tact. With 20 minutes to 60, the
mother and baby made the train.
Mrs. Trout had visited her moth
