two boys, wch u r'?'d twelve years,

over them In safety and the boys were
unhurt. The train came upon them so
suddenly und either end of the bridge
was so fnr away that to attempt escape
by running would hare meant death.
To have jumped thirty feet into tbe
creek would have been equally perilous
The engineer saw the bojs^and ?ir"

they could to the ties, turning their
