Narrow escape at Missouri Pacific depot grounds
Mr and Mrs James Cherry narrowly escaped being struck by a backing freight train at the White River Y crossing near the depot in darkness. A brakeman warned them as the car’s movement clipped their clothing, and light was absent at the crossing, making the danger hard to see. The Cherrys were en route to Jasper to visit Mrs Cherry’s parents, J Y Byers and wife. Dr Schooler reports the birth of a baby girl to L D Dickey and wife, one mile south of Boston.
