         A Narrow Escape
         
         HARRIET, the 5-year old daughter of WM. E. SNYDER,
       had a very close call from a horrible death, Monday
       forenoon. She was on her way to Chicago on the City
       of Milwaukee, with her parents, when, about 10:30,
       she accidently fell from the hurrican deck through
       the walking-beam hole down into the engine room,
       lodging onto a part of the hot machinery, where she
       was fortunately quickly rescued by one of the men.
       Two physicians who happened to be on the boat attended
       the child whose leg was broken at the hip and she was
       otherwise considerably hurt. Mr. and Mrs. SNYDER re-
       turned on next boat and on their arrival here Dr.s
       H. V. TUTTON and JOHN BEIL took the little one in
       charge and she is generally having the best of care
       at the E. L. KINGSLAND home.
