Remarkable Escape From Horrible Death.

The little 4-year-old daughter of A. M, Johnson, an East Chicago contractor, had a remarkable escape from death Thursday afternoon. Her nurse was taking her on a handsled to a photographer’s to have her picture taken, and when crossing the railroad tracks at Forsythe avenue Jihe little girl saw a train coming and called to the nurse to hurry across the tracks. The bumping of the sled jarred the child off squarely in front of the cars. Horrified bystanders' yelled to the little one to lie down, which she did and a switch engine and two cars passed over her. Beyond a few slight bruises the child was unhurt.
