Little girl stops train halts two runs and saves the day
A seven year old girl boards the wrong Seattle bound Great Northern train from Wenatchee. Conductor and crews reroute two trains to Spokane to avoid delays and a burned bridge. The effort delays by 20 minutes and costs about $100 in coal. Railroad men express sympathy, noting a conductor has a daughter similar in size. The item ends with an ad for rooms at The Virginus.
