Youthful Traveler Five-Year-Old Goes From Denver to Brockton
A five-year-old boy traveled alone on a Central Pacific train from Denver to California. He gave the name Lindley Appel, claimed Denver as his last home, and Brockton, California as his destination where an aunt awaited him. He showed seven cents, spoke of a broken family, and said a stranger took him to Trinadad before boarding. He was placed in a prison hospital in San Francisco until his aunt in Stockton could reach him. The tale raises questions about care for unaccompanied children on long train journeys.
