He Ran Into The Cars

HE RAN INTO THE CARS

A BOY ON A BICYCLE TRIED TO RIDE OVER A TRAIN.

He Escaped Uninjured Almost by a Miracle and His Bicycle Was Also Saved.

A boy who lives on Ashley st., while riding a bicycle down the short steep hill on W. Jefferson st., had a hair breadth escape with his life. He did not notice a passing freight train until the bicycle had got beyond his control and he made full tilt for the train. Happily the wheel struck the trucks of a freight car and bounded back throwing the boy uninjured by the side of the track. Had the moving car been two feet farther back when struck, the bicycle would have passed partially under it and the boy would have been ground to death under its wheels.
