Left Child Practically Unharmed.

Escaping allVe after a train had passed over him was the experience of George James Randon, a four-year-old boy, living with his parents at Hull, England. The child had climbed up the embankment and was toddling along the traok when a coal train of 30 cars came along. The driver did not see the child nor did he hear the agonized shouts of the spectators—amongst whom was the boy’s uncle—who were too far off to render assistance. The child was seen to be struck down, and the spectators anticipated •it had been cut to pieces. When the train had passed the boy was found lying between the rails with only an injury to the head. The coupling links had struck and stunned the child, and it had lain motionless while the train passed.
