Displayed Great Nerve

East Tawas, April 10. --Olive Jones, 6-year-okl daughter of Charles Jones', residing at Prescott, while crossing the track of the Detroit, Bay City and Alpena railroad at the road crossing at Prescott, caught her foot between the planking and rail. She saw the train coming, and her brother, a young man, running towards her to help her, but he did not arrive in time. The train did not slack down, and her foot was mangled, necessitating amputation just above the ankle after she was brought here. The remarkable presence of mind shown by so young a child is not often found. She said she saw she could not get her foot out before the train could get to her, and she did not want to have her head cut off or get cut in two. so she got her o tb er foot off the track and leaned away over, so as to let them cut off only one foot. After the first wheels passed over she got the foot part way out, and then said she pulled it clear out after the second wheel passed over. which was easy as the foot was literally a pulp. The child did not faint. and befng young and healthy will get along nicely.
