Foot Caught on Tracks Rescued by Mother in Homestead
Frederick Stewart, eight years old, was trapped with a foot on railroad tracks in Homestead Pennsylvania when a freight train neared. His mother Mrs Clarence E Stewart frantically pulled him free but fainted from relief as the train passed and the boy survived. In Detroit a jury values a life at six cents after a child was killed when a frightened horseman sped over a lawn. Vancouver ferryman D B Brumagin then shaved for the first time since 1877 revealing no wrinkles in his nearly sixty year old face.
