Hearne Boy Confesses To Pulling Railroad Switch
A nine year old Hearne boy confessed to pulling a railroad switch that caused seven cars to jump the Southern Pacific lines in the north Hearne yard. Initial estimates show cost of the act will run in excess of $20,000 according to Sheriff E P Elliott. Bob Miller, assistant special agent for S P, said he didn’t think the boy realized the results. The switch action was described as the pressure of the moving cars rolling over the switch. If the switch had hit the boy it would have been a sad day. The agent noted the boy pulled the switch under the middle of a passing car.
